About the Programs
The Beckett Center is a 14-bed secure crisis residential treatment facility. This 24-hour program will serve as a diversion to the emergency room, and will offer a low stimulation, professionally staffed, therapeutic environment for those with mental health needs to safely and effectively de-escalate through appropriate interventions, supervision, and physical safeguards.
Beekman House is a 12-bed transitional housing program serving Veterans that have experienced homelessness and need assistance reintegrating back into the community. This program helps Veterans maintain their stability while working toward long term goals (including housing, sobriety, and daily living skills) and other related activities that help veterans with self-sufficiency. It is a shared living program, where the Veterans each have an assigned case manager that formulates service plan goals for them to work on during their stay.
