Southside Harm Reduction Services (SHRS), a sponsored organization of Native American Community Clinic (NACC) will work in partnership in the development of a Community Hub. The Community Hub will open as a drop-in center providing a range of harm reduction strategies for those who use substances, with an emphasis on people who live outside. This hub will lay the groundwork for a space that could transition into an Overdose Prevention Center if or when the community and city are ready.
