The Samaritan House Crisis Center provides shelter to those in need. In addition to overnight accommodations, we give our guests access to warm meals and essential laundry services. Additionally, personalized case management assistance is available on a case by case basis for those seeking permanent housing and other person centered services. The difference is dignity. At Open Door Mission's Samaritan House Crisis Center, we open our arms and hearts to help those in need. We treat each and every one of our guests with the respect and dignity they deserve.

What's new?

Our hearts are heavy at the Open Door Mission regarding the incident that occurred early this morning involving the death of one of our guests. We are praying for our guest, their loved ones, and the Rochester Police Department officers involved in this incident. As this is an ongoing police investigation, we have no further comment at this time.
