​The Street Outreach Program (SOP) works to identify, engage, and support youth and young adults who are experiencing homelessness, housing instability, or are at risk of becoming homeless.

Our goal is to build trusting relationships with youth by meeting them where they are, understanding their unique needs, and connecting them with resources that promote safety, stability, and long-term success.

​

Through outreach, case management, and community partnerships, the Street Outreach Program helps youth access:

                                     Safe and stable housing options

                                     Emergency and basic needs assistance

                                     Mental health and behavioral health services

                                     Educational support and school connections

                                     Employment and workforce development resources

                                     Life skills and independent living support

                                     Family support and mediation services

                                     Health care and community resources

​

What Does Street Outreach Look Like?

                                     Supportive, youth-centered engagement

                                     Information about available resources

                                     Safety planning

                                     Referrals and connections to services

                                     Ongoing support and case management

Participation is voluntary, and services are provided in a respectful, non-judgmental manner.

 

Why It Matters?

Many youth experiencing homelessness are not visibly homeless. They may be couch surfing, staying temporarily with friends or relatives, living in vehicles, or moving from place to place without a stable home.

​

The Street Outreach Program helps ensure that these young people are connected to caring adults, supportive services, and opportunities that help them move toward stability and achieve their goals.

 

Our Commitment

Every young person deserves to feel safe, valued, supported, and connected. We are committed to helping youth build on their strengths, access resources, and create pathways to a brighter future.

Together, we can help youth move from crisis to stability, and from surviving to thriving.
