HOPE’s Street Outreach Team provides services in the field to those homeless persons who are living on the streets, abandoned buildings, or emergency shelters. The Outreach Team consists of a substance abuse professional, a mental health professional, formerly homeless individuals, and volunteers from local agencies who serve the homeless.

The team tries to build relationships with homeless persons by offering them food, blankets, or other essentials. After they gain the trust of the client, they then try to engage those with mental illness into case management services to link the client to healthcare, substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and/or transportation with the ultimate goal of the client obtaining and remaining in housing.
