DROP IN CENTER
Day Eagle Hope Project has responded to the needs of those community members who "fall through the cracks" and have not had adequate access to essential services and resources.
Day Eagle Drop-In Center is a non-clinical program utilizing Peer Certified support staff. The center is
intended to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals who may not have access to essential services and resources. The Day Eagle Drop-In Center aims to address filling gaps in the community by offering a welcoming environment where individuals can access peer support and the services they need.

​Who will be served?
The Center will serve a diverse group of individuals, including those who are experiencing homelessness, low-income families, individuals with mental health challenges, those struggling with substance abuse issues, elders, youth, or others in crisis. The Day Eagle Hope Project Drop-In Center is located on the Fort Belknap Reservation and is dedicated to serving the needs of Tribal members as our primary focus. However, we warmly welcome all individuals in need of support, regardless of their background, and strive to foster a safe and inclusive environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
