What happened
Heritage Behavioral Health Center confirmed the permanent closure of its Oasis Day and Resource Center in Decatur. The center, which suspended services in late September, provided basic support to people experiencing homelessness, including showers, laundry, and mail access. The CEO stated the closure was not due to financial hardship but was a strategic decision to concentrate resources on areas of greatest community need.

Why it matters
The program was part of a continuum designed to connect people with housing and resources while reducing emergency-service costs, arrests, and incarceration. The closure creates service gaps, requiring other community organizations to fill the void.
