MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT

Street Outreach brings the best of GRACE services to people who can't, or won't use other services. Out on the streets six days a week, this team uses best practices to deliver services to people where they are and connect them to housing by building rapport, exploring options, and providing much-needed services and supplies. Since starting in June 2021, our team has connected with more than 4,300 people on the street and in the woods. Of these, 248 people have been moved into permanent housing.  We've also established a referral process with local law enforcement to ensure that homelessness is treated like a housing issue, not a criminal issue.  On average, it costs $1,500 to end someone's homelessness when they are living downtown, including the first and last month's rent and security deposit.
