Beyond basic survival needs, SCSO emphasizes community connection, peer support, and access to recovery and stabilization resources—bridging gaps between street-level realities and long-term wellness.

Silver City, N.M. - The Haven Winter Center, which was operating at the former Silver City Recreation Center, has closed due to insufficient staffing and a lack of sustainable funding necessary to continue safe operations, announced Jacqui Olea, acting town manager.
"I want to thank all of the volunteers who've made such a tremendous effort to help people in need," Olea said. "We will be looking at options to upgrade the infrastructure in that building, but as of now we have no option but to close the doors until such a time that we can identify funds for sufficient staff and needed renovations, as well as volunteers."
