Access to food is a pressing need for Baltimore's most vulnerable communities, often on a daily basis. To address this, we provide groceries and hot meals through our mobile outreach efforts and at our Greenmount Avenue location. Due to past traumas experienced in homeless shelters, a significant portion of our community members refrain from seeking aid from existing resources, consequently enduring a constant state of survival. This is precisely where Baltimore Safe Haven plays a pivotal role.
Our transitional housing offers a sanctuary, allowing individuals to reflect on their life journey and initiate progress without the constant concern for their daily safety. This safe haven enables them to transition towards a more secure and stable future. At Baltimore Safe Haven, we understand the importance of meeting people where they are. Our mobile outreach program provides harm reduction materials and education, hygiene products, food and transportation to TLGBQ community members in need.
Harm Reduction: Our harm reduction programs aim to minimize the risks associated with substance use and promote safer practices, providing education, resources like naloxone and sterile syringes, and support to individuals.
Safe Sex: We prioritize sexual health by offering information, resources, and free distribution of condoms and other safe sex supplies, promoting healthy and consensual sexual practices. Transportation: We prioritize the safety and well-being of individuals by offering transportation assistance including providing bus passes, arranging for direct transportation, and facilitating rideshares in emergencies.
This commitment ensures clients can access support and referral resources without facing transportation barriers. These services include financial assistance, rental support, and case management to help individuals maintain their current housing and prevent homelessness.
