Outreach

The Outreach program offers assistance to those on the streets or temporarily lodged in motels. Outreach is an opportunity to build provider-client trust through the distribution of food or essential supplies. Through the program, we can inform people of what services are available and how to get help. Each week, our team visits areas where people are known to congregate, distribute healthy snacks, water or supplies, and check for emerging needs. Through these contacts, we are able to make referrals to our Health Home program, Emergency Shelter, or clinical treatment.

The Health Home program offers the following services: comprehensive assessments, goal setting, healthcare management, and housing stabilization. Participation in the NYSHH program is voluntary.

Our Health Home care management services are available to enrollees no matter where they are, at home, on the streets, or in shelter.
