Who We Are

The First Point of Contact for Shelter in Prince George’s County

As the first point of contact for shelter placement in Prince George’s County, Community Crisis Services, Inc. works with families and individuals to identify resources, stabilize difficult situations, and find unique solutions to prevent homelessness or secure necessary shelter.

Partnering with the Prince George’s County Department of Social Services and over 50 area congregations yearly, CCSI is able to offer the Warm Nights Shelter Program year-round. This program remains the only overnight shelter in the greater Metro DC region able to offer assistance to individuals and families with children.

Our counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — because homelessness doesn’t wait for business hours.

“These six simple words can help change a life — providing shelter to men, women, and children seeking shelter.”

What We Provide

Our Homeless Services Programs

From emergency shelter to long-term housing support, CCSI provides a continuum of care for those experiencing homelessness in our community.

🏘️

Warm Nights Shelter Program

What started as a 25-bed cold weather shelter has grown into a year-round program with over 100 beds — the only overnight shelter in the greater Metro DC region able to serve families with children. Open 365 days a year.

👨‍👩‍👧

Families with Children

CCSI is uniquely positioned to shelter families with children — a population often turned away by other shelters in the region. No family should face homelessness without a safe place to stay.

🤝

Community Partnerships

Through partnerships with the Prince George’s County Department of Social Services and over 50 area congregations, CCSI is able to maximize resources and reach more people seeking support year-round.
