Carpenter's Shelter Clinic

Carpenter's Shelter in Alexandria, Virginia provides mental health services integrated with on-site medical care — including medical exams and prescription services — to uninsured clients, emergency shelter residents, and community members transitioning out of homelessness. The clinic is designed around the needs of a population for whom standard insurance-based care is inaccessible.

Mental health services include crisis intervention, stabilization, risk assessment, and referrals to additional community resources. The clinic addresses the intersecting health, psychiatric, and social needs of individuals experiencing or recovering from homelessness, providing clinical mental health support within the context of the broader social services available at Carpenter's Shelter.
