Many people come through our doors in need of more than food, clothing and/or a shower. Sometimes they are in need of shelter when all of our beds are full. Other times they are housed, but most precariously because they are, for instance, choosing between paying the rent or their utility bill, which might be a month overdue. Other times they have medical issues that have compromised their employment status. Our Outreach Case Managers addresses this population by assisting with short-term development of solutions and referrals to other organizations for longer term help.
