Program Description: Women’s Daytime Drop-in Center (WDDC) offers hospitality services to women and families experiencing homelessness. These services are available Monday, Wednesday and Friday between the hours of 9am and 1pm. This includes a hot meal, groceries, hygiene items and diapers. Mail receipt service is available for registered clients. Housing resources and problem-solving services are available for Berkeley, Albany and Emeryville families with our case managers by appointment ONLY. Best to call in advance. If you are not from Berkeley, Albany or Emeryville, we can provide a list of agencies supporting other areas for housing and shelter resources over the phone. WDDC is empowering women and children to move from the streets to a home by providing housing problem solving services and support, housing case management and referral services, and a transitional housing program for four single parent families. The WDDC has evolved from its original mission of providing emergency and crisis response to a program of on-going support services. WDDC serves an average of 500 households each month in a nurturing, home-like environment. Services are available at no fee to any homeless woman or family.
