Open Door Community Center is open daily to the public and offers a variety of resources to support people throughout their journey from homelessness to housing. In addition to resources like daily breakfast, showers, and vital records assistance, the Community Center serves as a place for friends and neighbors to connect and build relationships beyond the crisis of homelessness.

The Community Center also serves as an Entry Point for Lubbock’s Coordinated Entry System, which serves to assess people’s needs and then quickly direct them to the most appropriate housing intervention within the community.

Vital Records

Open Door helps individuals get vital records such as birth certificates, IDs, and Social Security cards. The Community Center staff is able to help anyone in need with the paperwork and process to obtain these records.

The following steps should be taken to get these records:

  • Visit Open Door Community Center any Wednesday or Thursday morning from 9am – 11am to fill out paperwork (required)

  • Because the process changes regularly, it is recommended that you come in person to fill out this information.

  • Documentation is not required; however, we ask that you bring any sort of records you have that might be helpful during this process including school or medical records.

This process occurs on a weekly basis. The limit for these records is one per person. Contact the Community Center to schedule an appointment for Vital Records assistance.
