STREET TO HOME: THE FIRST STEP BACK
The Regional Commission on Homelessness and its community partners created an early morning outreach program to help homeless individuals off the streets and into housing. Once a month, typically before the day light, volunteers and experienced case managers engage homeless individuals and offer a chance to end their homelessness. If a person is interested, they board the Gateway bus and begin the journey toward transitional housing coupled with intense case management.
PEERS REACHING OUT TEAM (PRO)
Street to Home program has created a model to engage the homeless community using previously homeless individuals to build relationships. The Peers Reaching Out Team (PRO) is a group of individuals, whom have transitioned out of homelessness themselves and now have a desire to help serve others facing the same struggle.
