Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some agencies provide a street or mobile outreach program. As part of this program, a van travels the streets to areas where people who are homeless are found outdoors. Food, warm coffee, hygiene kits, and blankets are the first steps in building trust between staff and homeless persons. People who are homeless may accept an offer to be driven to a local shelter for the night. Follow-up the next day by van or bicycle provides a way to reconnect with the individual and invite him or her to the agency programs, or to other social or health care services.
