What We Provide
1. Screening and Assessment
Identify + Prioritize Needs
Outreach workers provide screening and assessment to partner with the person or family in the identification and prioritization of needs and available resources.
2. Assistance in Resolving Immediate Needs
Physical Needs
Outreach workers try to help enhance a person or family’s capacity to live where they are safely. Examples of this include: providing sleeping bags, tents, clothing, and hygiene products. If it is determined that medical attention is required, the team will assist the person in obtaining the appropriate treatment.
Safety Concerns
Partnering with Mobile Crisis around immediate safety concerns.
3. Referral to Other Provider Services
Problem Solving
Because we know that being homeless and being in a shelter is inherently traumatic, outreach workers support individuals and families in a problem-solving process, or housing counseling, to allow for resolution to homelessness, when possible.
Health Support
Linkage to mental health and other physical health support, food resources, and other potential benefit sources.
Systems Guidance
Bridge assistance in navigating other systems, like the criminal justice system, Children and Youth, or the educational system.
