Which description best captures Street Outreach?

• A. It is a long-term housing program with permanent housing placement.
• B. It only tracks volunteers.
• C. Street Outreach provides non-facility-based care to unsheltered homeless people and connects them to shelter, housing, or services.
• D. It is a nighttime shelter.

Answer: (C)

Street Outreach focuses on reaching unsheltered individuals where they are and delivering services outside of formal facilities. Its main purpose is engagement and immediate support in non-facility settings, then connecting people to shelter, housing, or other needed services. This proactive, in-the-community approach bridges people to housing options and supports rather than providing a fixed, long-term housing program or simply tracking volunteers or operating a nighttime shelter.
