“The Supportive Services Program (SSP) Department is currently the primary Coordinated Entry System access point for those experiencing homelessness in Harford County. The SSP Department will assess the definitions of homelessness reported for all applicants and prioritize eligible households for available programming within the Harford County Local Homeless Coalition.

Single adults over the age of 18 will be referred to the Harford Family House Emergency Shelter operated by Harford Family House. The Harford Family House Emergency Shelter is located at 1221 Brass Mill Road Unit C, in Belcamp, Maryland 21017 and has capacity to accommodate 27 beds for males and 6 beds for females. The SSP Department staff will assess, prioritize and refer families to available programming at Harford Family House or Anna’s House. Note: Family programming is very limited and applicants in need may experience a waitlist for emergency shelter or transitional housing options.

During inclement weather in Harford County, the Freezing Weather Plan (FWP) will be activated by the Department of Housing and Community Services. At this time, the SSP Department staff will prioritize single adults and families into available shelter in Harford County. Overflow mass sheltering will only be available during the FWP activations and additional details will be announced later in the year.
