Adhering to a philosophy of harm reduction, and with the objective of making it easy for a homeless person to access services, the BRC Drop-in Center and Safe Haven provide a safe and welcoming environment for adults who have been living on the street and subways. Here, assistance in obtaining housing and employment is available, and health, mental health, and substance abuse services are offered, but not mandated. Beds, showers, clean clothes, and our own cooked meals are provided in a safe and supportive environment, making the BRC Drop-in Center and Safe Haven a welcome alternative to a municipal homeless shelter.
