Urban rest stop

Provided through a partnership with the City of Jacksonville and Mental HealthResource Center, the Urban Rest Stop at Sulzbacher’s Downtown Campus is a place for people experiencing homelessness to go during the day to receive services. The Urban Rest Stop is not a day resource center, but it accomplishes the same goal by providing services during the day to those still living on the streets.  Services include: case management, showers, meals, healthcare, mailboxes, shelter placement, job referrals and more. Services are available from 7:30am – 4pm, Monday through Friday. For more information, call (904) 358-2411

CHOP

(Chronically Homeless Offenders Program) Sulzbacher’s CHOP program is a unique partnership between the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office and the Public Defender’s Office. CHOP offers people who have been homeless for a year or more, the opportunity to receive permanent housing placement with wrap-around supportive services to maintain that placement. By targeting the most frequent misdemeanor offenders in Jacksonville, Sulzbacher is able to break the cycle of chronic homelessness and nuisance crimes for these extremely vulnerable individuals.

By partnering with the Veteran’s Administration, both emergency and permanent housing placements are offered for both men and women and their families. For more information about services for Veterans, call (904) 394-1366.
