Homeless & Runaway Youth Drop-In Centers

Drop-In Centers are a great way for young people who are experiencing homelessness can connect with other young people, connect to services, and get basic needs met.

Drop-In Centers are located in each of the five boroughs of New York City. The Drop-In Centers provide youth up to the age of 24 and their families with essentials like food, clothing, and immediate shelter as well as access to counseling, support, and referrals to relevant services.
