The Hotline coordinates all shelter placements for Prince George's County shelter programs. By identifying all county vacancies and emergency beds, individuals only need to make one toll free call for shelter assistance. The Homeless prevention program provides information and referrals to residents of Prince George's County who are in danger of becoming homeless. Services include referrals for financial assistance, budgeting, long-term planning for housing, and assistance with social services. Our professionals speak to community groups, schools and faith organizations.
Topics can include suicide prevention, surviving suicide, crisis intervention and management.
We provide a non-judgmental listening ear and help develop options in an effort to find solutions. Callers are of all races, age, gender, sexual orientation, religious background, and income levels. This eight week program offers students a safe environment where they share their feelings and views. After exploring their expectations, the program works to devise a course of action that will help the participants develop and reach their goals. The Hotline participates in the state wide Youth Crisis Hotline program.
