The City of New Haven is opening a temporary drop-in center located at Blake Field designed to address the needs of our unsheltered individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This site will function as a triage site to identify and provide resources to individuals experiencing homelessness while connecting them to medical and behavioral health services, as well as addressing their basic needs like access to food, showers, and an opportunity for shelter.
This is not an overnight facility. Its hours of operation are Monday through Friday 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM. It will serve as a check-in facility where people can use bathrooms, showers, get medical assistance, and take their temperature to ensure they are not showing symptoms of COVID-19. We understand this site is near East Rock Magnet School, and we assure you that the hours of operation at this site will not overlap with the school meals program nearby.
If you feel you are showing symptoms of COVID-19, please find testing information on the City of New Haven’s website or call the New Haven Health Department Emergency Line at (203) 946-4949.
Please stay safe and stay home. Thank you so much for your continued cooperation
