Emergency Shelter

HELP maintains a very limited number of shelter beds year round for the Emergency Shelter program. Referrals are only accepted through the Housing Crisis Hotline (757-587-4202) and space is incredibly limited. This program provides a short-term subsidized shelter to help individuals get back on their feet and end the cycle of homelessness. It includes intensive case management to ensure clients are working toward self-sufficiency.

Day Support Services

The HELP Day Center is located at 329 Buckroe Avenue in Hampton.

The 109 bus drops off in front of the building.
The 115 and 120 drop off just 1 block away.

Showers & Laundry

There are few things more life-changing in-the-moment than a hot shower and clean clothes. The HELP Day Center provides homeless and people struggling to get by an opportunity to take a hot shower and wash clothes three days a week.

Showers & Laundry are currently available:
Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9 AM to 1 PM
(first come, first served)
