HRDC’s Day Center opens for second summer season
HRDC’s Day Center is now open for a second summer, providing access to showers, laundry, storage, computers, WiFi access, as well as housing counseling and housing navigation workshops.
Last year, HRDC piloted a Day Center program which utilized the current HRDC Warming Center facility to address gaps in services when the shelter is closed. The Center was open May through September of 2018, open four days a week from 9am to 4pm. By the end of the summer, 35 former guests had secured permanent, affordable housing.
HRDC’s Day Center is now open, with operating hours of 9am to 4pm, Sunday through Thursday, until the end of September. Services available at HRDC’s Day Center will include showers, laundry, and housing counseling. The Day Center is located off of Griffin Drive at 2104 Industrial Drive in Bozeman.
“After seeing a continued increase in Warming Center guests in the winter, our critical Day Center services in the summer were able to impact those increasing numbers by assisting to house 35 people, while providing access to basic needs like showers, laundry and storage,” said Shari Eslinger, HRDC’s Housing Director.
For this reason, HRDC’s Day Center is a vital program to continue connecting with those in need of housing or other HRDC resources.
