What kind of person do you imagine when you think of the homeless? Is it an outdated stereotype of the traveling hobo? People experiencing homelessness are just like you and me, they just don't have a safety net in a time of crisis and find themselves without a home. Yet, there's hope for many to get off the streets. As the Orlando area’s Comprehensive Day Services Center, the Christian Service Center for the Homeless operates two, low-barrier campuses, offering a range of basic and advanced services to help unsheltered adults and assistance to struggling families in financial crisis who are at risk of eviction. Visit ChristianServiceCenter.org to learn more, make a contribution and get involved. Thank you.

At the Christian Service Center, our main focus is housing. We strive to get as many families and individuals as possible off the streets of Central Florida, out of cars, out of tents/camps or living on cardboard, and move them into a permanent place of their own. Getting families housed and helping them back to self-sufficiency is the solution to reducing homelessness. As the Orlando area’s Comprehensive Day Services Center, the Christian Service Center operates two, low-barrier campuses, offering a range of basic and advanced services to help unsheltered adults on the street as well as struggling families in financial crisis who are at risk of eviction.

The trials and tribulations of life can toss someone just like you into an uncertain and desperate situation where they find themselves on the streets with no support. Homelessness is not a lifestyle people choose. That is a myth. The truth is it’s a horror show. The trauma that our clients experience every day is almost unbearable to imagine for most of us. Similarly, it’s unbearable for many of them to talk about and relive. We are grateful for those willing to share their story and for those willing to listen and be part of the experience of lifting others up. We encourage you to be part of that experience with us. Visit ChristianServiceCenter.org for ways to get involved.

For the past 50 years, the Christian Service Center has been a provider of social service programs, supporting the weary and worried, lifting up the whole of our Central Florida community. Join us as we evolve into a Comprehensive Day Services provider with solutions-based services. We see hundreds of people every day. We help them with food, clothing, and other basic necessities, all toward the end result of getting them to a safe place in their lives where they are no longer experiencing homelessness, where they are in a full-time job, and where they have the appropriate health care they need to sustain themselves for a very long and happy life. We accomplish this by coordinating care with campus partners, dedicated staff and volunteers, bridging the gap for our neighbors in need to get them off the “carousel of chaos” that is homelessness.
