What's Here
Providing organization
Crossroads Rhode Island
Founded in 1894 as Travelers Aid to assist vulnerable women, service members and travelers, Crossroads has been serving those in need for 125 years.
Their mission has since evolved to help individuals and families in need overcome their homelessness. They provide a range of specialized services to meet the unique needs of our clients, including:
Housing in more than 370 residences statewide
24-hour/7-day-a-week emergency services
Education and employment services
Comprehensive case management
In 2018, Crossroads and the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless partnered to create the Coordinated Entry System. Coordinated Entry is a federal mandate that requires the state’s homeless service providers to integrate their efforts to achieve the following goals:
Make it easier for people to access services
Identify and prioritize services based on need
Make sure that people who need help the most, get help first
