Community Shelter and Transitional Services
       

Drop-In Center

From 5:00p.m. – 10:00p.m. daily, the agency operates Johnson County’s only evening drop-in center. The Drop-In Center is open to all in need—former clients, homeless persons not currently staying in the shelter, and other low and very low-income citizens of Johnson County. Men, women, and children utilize the Shelter House Drop-In Center Program for:

  • Laundry and shower facilities • Clothing and toiletry donations
  • An evening meal 
  • A mailing address so as to receive mail
  • Telephone use
  • A place to pick up phone messages
  • Access to Shelter House staff and outreach workers from STAR, the VA and the Community Mental Health Center

Monthly Usage

On average, these services are used over 500 times per month by individuals not residing at the shelter—a minimum of 480 persons during the course of the year.
