Homeless Outreach Program

Building trust, for a safe & stable future 

The Salvation Army's Street Level Mobile Homeless Outreach Program is centered on a housing-first, person-centered, strengths-based approach. This strategy focuses on meeting people where they are in a non-threatening way in order to help them find resources appropriate for their situation. The primary goal of this program is to improve people’s housing situation.

Our grant only covers the first year, which means we need the support of our community. Make a gift that ensures this program can keep helping the homeless in our community!

The mobile Street Level team includes two staff members, one who focuses on direct case management, while the other focuses on cultivating relationships with community leaders that can be used for referrals or facilitating access to housing. With a strong network of community leaders, landlords, housing entities, social service providers, and law enforcement agencies, the mobile team can leverage more community resources to assist the client.

Clients will receive referrals to community resources as well as services that target their need for essentials like food, water, clothing, and hygiene items. Once trust is developed, caseworkers will help to assess each individual’s deeper needs. After an initial assessment is completed, the client’s personal goals, resources, and capacities are crafted into an individualized case plan. The case manager can then draw on their community network to help the client find housing or childcare
