FAQ’s

Can anyone come to the Day Resource Center?
No. The DRC follows the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) definition and guidelines for serving those defined as homeless. Per HUD, a homeless person is defined as:
- an individual who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence; and
- an individual who has a primary nighttime residence that is:
- a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations (including welfare hotels, congregate shelters, and transitional housing for the mentally ill);
- an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized; or
- a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

Are you an overnight shelter?
No.

Does the DRC have a housing program?
No. The DRC is a daytime shelter where those interested in learning about affordable housing options may enroll in case management where case managers, who are well versed in the various programs, can assess individual needs and make knowledgeable and applicable suggestions.

Can you verify someone’s homelessness?
No one at the Day Resource Center for the Homeless can verify homelessness because we are not a overnight shelter, and therefore by law and agreement of confidentiality, we cannot give out any information about individuals using our facility.

Are you affiliated with a faith-based group or any other organization?
The Day Resource Center does not align itself with any one faith or community organization. To best serve our clients and expose them to our community, we permit volunteers and donations from all types of groups.

Do you take donations?
We are appreciative of all of the donations we receive throughout the year. Because of the nature of our agency and the size, we are limited to the kinds of items we need. Visit our Wish List to see the items we request.
