FIGHTING FOR HOMELESS FOLKS
is how we fight homelessness.
Homelessness is a solvable problem. Trust us, we’ve been doing it every day since 1986. The reality is that housing alone doesn’t solve homelessness, it’s more about providing a set of services that help people survive the street, start feeling well, engage in meaningful activities, and get and stay housed.
OVER A MILLION PEOPLE
visit our centers each year. They receive more than 100,000 meals, 60,000 showers, 12,000 loads of laundry, 180,000 restroom visits, and over a million items of safe gear. Every hour, 100 people access behavioral and physical health services. We created 3,800 jobs last year.
OUTREACH
We are on the street every day in our Jeeps reversing overdoses, handing out snacks, water and life saving supplies and connecting people to all our services.
WELLBEING
We offer behavioral health, wound care, psychiatric care, acupuncture, job counseling, and a range of therapeutic services designed to reduce stress, pain and cravings.
COMMUNITY
Our care centers not only offer showers, laundry, restrooms, food, water, social events, movies, a library, computers and WIFI, but we also have a jobs program and community court to help people move forward.
HOUSING
Getting housed is not easy, which is why we provide case management support, access to housing, move in support, and advocacy programs to keep people safely housed.
TRAINING
We have a comprehensive set of trainings for shelters, health clinics, hospitals, community providers and anyone who could benefit from understanding how to help homeless folks through humane, practical and innovative approaches.
