Grassroots provides 24-hour access to quality behavioral health, crisis intervention and homeless services to individual and family consumers in need. These are families, individuals and children who find themselves without a place to sleep. These are co-workers, schoolmates, friends and even family who may be contemplating suicide. These are members of the community who are experiencing a crisis and are seeking help, crisis intervention counseling, and sometimes a roof over their heads. We are a free, 24-hour resource serving children, adults and families throughout Central Maryland.
We are a private, non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization serving Howard County and Central Maryland.  Founded in 1969, Grassroots has evolved from an all-volunteer organization to a professionally staffed multi-service crisis intervention center.
