Mainchance Drop-In Center

Mainchance Drop-In Center, operated by Grand Central Neighborhood Social Services Corporation, provides emergency drop-in services and refuge for people experiencing homelessness in Midtown Manhattan. The center offers basic necessities in a welcoming, supportive setting, with meals available through Hinton’s Cafe.

Staff help clients work toward stable housing and identify options suited to their circumstances. These may include general supportive housing, treatment-focused or mental-health supportive housing, housing for people living with HIV/AIDS, and travel assistance. The organization also provides medical and mental-health support, including primary care and referrals through its partnership with NYU Langone, as well as crisis intervention and psychiatric services through Bellevue Hospital Medical Center’s Mobile Crisis Unit.
