Receiving Help

If you are homeless and need help, call 717-393-7709 today.

Much more than a shelter.

When a person comes to our Access Center and is seeking help, we connect them with a Case Manager who will talk with them to assess the next best step while with us.  A Life Coach teams up with the person as an accountability partner in reaching individual goals.  He or she embarks on a personalized Shelter Track or Residential Track.  Both tracks give access to all services at Water Street and with our community partners. We provide : 

  • Counseling and case management
  • Referrals to community services for financial, job, and housing needs.
  • Recovery groups and parenting classes
  • Devotions, chapel services and group prayer sessions
  • Free dental care at Water Street Health Services
  • Free medical and behavioral health support

 

Our Access Center is located at the corner of South Prince Street and Conestoga Street in Kuhns Hall – this is the brick building with two steeples.
