Mission: St. John Center for the Homeless was founded in 1986 in response to the findings of a task force on homelessness. The findings identified needs of the homeless, which went beyond the needs for a place to sleep and something to eat.Daytime shelter from the harsh weather, mental health care, and long-term treatment for chronic alcoholism/drug addiction were identified as crucial components to real recovery from homelessness.St. John Center provides these and other basic, but much-needed, services for homeless adults as we work toward our ultimate goal and mission...a return of each homeless person to a life of self-sufficiency.
