PROGRAMS OFFERED AT BRUMFIELD:

Emergency Shelter

The Brumfield Emergency Shelter is open 365 days a year. Guests can stay up to five nights per week. Intake begins at 3:00 p.m. and bed assignments begin at 4:00 p.m., with exceptions during inclement weather. Guests are provided with a hot meal, an opportunity to shower, and personal hygiene items. Guests can also participate in any scheduled group meeting.

Transitional Housing/Sober Living

The Billy Brumfield Transitional Housing Program is not a rehab. It assists men with transitioning to stable housing and improving their lifestyle. The program is for 90 days with the possibility of an extension. Our goal is to help men transition from homelessness to permanent housing, with case management and a programming structure that is designed to meet their needs. If we cannot meet their needs, we will recommend them to a program that can best assist them.

Short-Term Medical Recovery

The Short-Term Medical Recovery Program helps men with temporary disabling conditions. such as out-patient surgeries, broken limbs, gunshot or stab wounds, or recovery for those released from the hospital after a lengthy stay. Some mental health concerns are considered.
