What to Do If You're Homeless in Baltimore

If you're homeless in Baltimore or about to be, you're not alone — and there are real places you can go today to get help.

Start With Transportation

One of the biggest problems is getting around. The Charm City Circulator (CCC) buses are completely free and can take you across the city without needing money.

Where to Go During the Day

• H.O.P.E. – Showers and laundry
• Franciscan Center – Food and clothing
• Our Daily Bread – Mail, computers, and lunch

Evening Shelter

Places like Baltimore Rescue Mission offer meals, showers, and a place to sleep. Be aware that many shelters have strict intake times, usually in the late afternoon.

Real Advice

Missing intake times can leave you stuck outside all night. Planning your day around shelter times is critical.

Even small steps — getting clean, eating, or applying for one job — can start to move things forward.
