The Heartland Center for Behavioral Change (HCBC) has provided residential services to the State of Missouri Department of Corrections, and the State of Missouri Department of Mental Health for over 35 uninterrupted years. Heartland’s experience with the Jackson County Drug Court and the City of Kansas City Municipal Treatment Court has enabled our agency to establish a Community Residential Unit (CRU). Other community funders that utilize the community Residential Unit include Clay, Platte, Ray County Mental Health Levy Board, COMBAT (Community Backed Anti-Violence Tax), and a Missouri Department of Corrections Re-Entry Grant. Heartland Center believes in assisting people in building healthier, happier, and more productive lives. HCBC would like to offer a clean, safe, residential environment for individuals who are in need of shelter. HCBC has experienced staff and can provide residential services to include food, shelter, basic recreation and access to laundry facilities.
