A WOMAN'S PLACE DROP IN CENTER

The goal of A Woman’s Place Drop In Center (formerly Oshun Drop In Center) is to provide trauma-informed, gender-responsive care to women and families in the form of low-threshold drop-in services targeted to the complex needs of multiply diagnosed homeless women, with close linkages to primary care, case management, residential substance abuse and HIV transitional housing and care.

A Woman's Place Drop In Center targets women, transgender females and families i.e.: single mothers, mothers and fathers must have a dependent child. For all adult clients the age criteria is 18 + who abuse substances, suffer from mental illness and who are homeless and often victims of violence in and around the Tenderloin.

The AWP Drop-In program dedicates 40 chairs for women wanting to access 24 hour drop in services and a separate dedicated area for families for overnight accommodations. As such our AWP Drop-In program provides stabilization, support services and linkage to supportive housing for homeless women and families in San Francisco who are multiply-diagnosed with a substance use disorder (SUD), mental illness, physical illnesses (i.e. HIV/AIDS, TB), as well as, victims of abuse, sex workers, and seniors.
