Description
The Olivieri Drop-In Center participates in the Emergency Shelter Network Respite
Bed Program, a network of volunteer-run emergency respite sites hosted by various
Congregations and community organizations throughout New York City. When the Center closes
at 7 P.M. our clients are transported to a network respite site via bus. The network site, from
7 P.M. to 7 A.M., provides overnight accommodations that are caring and safe; clients may
receive services such as case management, housing and employment assistance, psychiatric and
medical health care, meals, and access to showers, laundry, phone, and mail facilities
