Pine Street's overnight drop-in center, the Boston Night Center (BNC), is located in downtown Boston. The BNC offers food, clothing, health care, counseling and safe shelter each night for 60 to 70 homeless adults. Many of the individuals who have lived on the streets for years are so fearful of others that they will not seek shelter. BNC offers these individuals a less structured environment, and staff work to establish trust with each man or woman who drops in.
