Dear Friends of Star House,
Thanks to your support, the Star House Drop-in Center has remained open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 1, 550 individual guests and their small children have had immediate access to safety at a time when many other public spaces were closed. Your support continues to help bring safe respite, food, clothing, showers, health care, therapy and access to other crucial resources to youth experiencing homelessness in Central Ohio.
We are excited to share that Star House recently launched a pilot "Chill-in Station." The Chill-in Station, a traveling, pop-up resource center, offers tented outdoor resources, such as food and nutrition services, on-site mental health care, case management, connection to employment, hygiene services and charging stations. And the best part is that this pop-up concept was designed by former guests of our drop-in center, in partnership with The Columbus Foundation and the d.school of Stanford University. We are grateful to the City of Columbus for supporting this promising new program!
