How Do I Get On the Shelter Waitlist?
All shelters in the state are filled through this list of seven Regional Access Points.
How Do I Get Into Transitional Recovery Housing?
Grant-funded recovery housing beds are assigned through the 942-STOP system and have a low availability due to demand. Our self-pay recovery housing beds are more likely to be available.
State-wide bed availability is posted on the BHDDH recovery housing waitlist registry. For all other details, call OpenDoors at 401-781-5808.
How Do I Get Into Permanent Housing?
