Seward Community Support Program (CSP) Drop-In Team
The CSP offers a variety of both
individual and group activity options for members,
from cooking and computer skills training, to art,
poetry and social skills development.

Thanks to our staff and members, the spirit at the Minnehaha Center
is welcoming and engaging. The community is safe, supportive and
incredibly diverse in terms of its membership and activities.
An overnight camping trip, a visit to the State Capitol,
outings to community events and celebrations of holidays from
many cultures were just some of the special events this year.
Members credit the CSP with their improved mental health
and ability to stay out of the hospital.
As part of the CSP, the Outreach
and Housing
team delivers comprehensive services to clients experiencing
difficult housing problems such as homelessness, eviction notices,
or the need for a permanent housing subsidy. Counselors provide
rapid and transitional services as well as working with landlords,
building rapport and encouraging them to rescind evictions whenever possible.
