The Prado Day Center coordinates the denial of services to homeless people in San Luis Obispo.

It is the only day center serving the homeless population in the region. Every day, between 90 and 120 people seek refuge and assistance at Prado Day Center.

Mid-day meals are served there by People's Kitchen.

The Prado Day Center is open from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. every day of the year. In addition, it opens up as a “Warming Station” to provide modest overnight accommodations to some homeless individuals and families who would otherwise be outside in the elements.  The Warming Station opens when freezing temperatures and/or more than three nights of rain are forecast. There is a limited overnight safe parking program on-site.

The Prado Homeless Services Center also serves as a hub for various support services and provides case management. Showers, clothes, laundry, and meals are available.
