Safe Horizon’s Streetwork Project supports homeless youth through our welcoming drop-in centers, overnight shelter, and street outreach teams.
The main goal of our drop-in centers is to provide youth experiencing homelessness with a safe and non-judgmental environment to receive daily necessities, medical care, legal assistance, housing advocacy, and more. Youths seeking shelter can be referred from one of the Drop-in Centers to our Streetwork overnight shelter.
Our street outreach teams drive to places in the city where young people gather. We provide snacks, supplies, and information about our services to help street-involved youth.
