Street Outreach
Introduction

Introduction to Street Outreach

Overview
Those who experience homelessness have a variety of complex issues that incite the need for specific forms of care. As such, street outreach is challenging work. There are multiple governmental and non-governmental agencies that have sought to engage in this work because of the understanding that unhoused people tend to have increased barriers to accessing traditional services. Street outreach comes in different forms, from people walking around carrying supplies or offering resources, to mobile health clinics with teams of medical volunteers driving around and offering services. Regardless of its form, the essence of street outreach is the desire to meet people where they are at, build deep trust and connections, offer support, and reinforce the human dignity and respect that is deserving of all people. The core elements of effective street outreach include being systematic, coordinated, comprehensive, housing-focused, person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, as well as emphasizing safety and reducing harm. The Street Outreach is designed to build relationships between outreach workers and youth who are unsheltered. Services include education, outreach, access to emergency shelter, survival aid, counseling, information and referral, crisis intervention, and follow-up support.
