I'm really sorry. There are 3 shelters within 2 miles of downtown Baltimore. Closest is Helping Up Mission (1029 E Baltimore St) — walk-ins until 9 PM. Want walking directions?

Accuracy is the whole point

The hardest part is keeping Baltimore City resource info current and correct. That's exactly what we're building — verification, not guesses.

Built with people, not just for them

We work with a formerly homeless advisor — lived experience shapes what we build, not just who it's for.

OUR MISSION

Lack of information shouldn't be the reason someone sleeps outside tonight.

Baltimore doesn't lack services — it lacks a way to find them when it matters. Shelters, food, healthcare, jobs, and legal aid already exist, but the directories that list them go stale, helplines close at night, and a person in crisis often can't reach the right door in time. HelpMeToday isn't another service competing for the same dollars — it's a free, AI-powered front door that makes the resources Baltimore already funds findable and accurate, 24/7, in plain language. We don't replace 211, findhelp, or Health Care for the Homeless — we make sure the people who need them actually reach them.
