What is it?
Our Street Outreach Program seeks to provide whole-person intervention for those facing housing instability and homelessness in Montgomery County.
- We partner with Your Way Home to qualify individuals for housing support.
- We recognize that people need physical stability to best pursue overall wellness and stability in their lives.
- We seek to empower people to see beyond where they are now to where they could be.
- We walk alongside those we serve and connect them with the resources they need to help them meet their individual goals.
Responding to Crisis
In 2021, our Street Outreach team was able to help between 1,200 to 1,300 people. Many people have been affected by the pandemic, natural disasters in the area and more.
Please do not hesitate to seek help for yourself or someone you know who may need assistance.
Providing Medical Care
Street Outreach launched the Street Medicine program in collaboration with Pottstown Hospital/Tower Health, Community Health & Dental, Creative Health, the Learning Recovery Center, and Pottstown Beacon of Hope in serving individuals experiencing homelessness in Pottstown. Other groups and faith communities have joined the cause and have contributed as well.

What We Provide
1. Screening and Assessment
Identify + Prioritize Needs
Outreach workers provide screening and assessment to partner with the person or family in the identification and prioritization of needs and available resources.
2. Assistance in Resolving Immediate Needs
Physical Needs
Outreach workers try to help enhance a person or family’s capacity to live where they are safely. Examples of this include: providing sleeping bags, tents, clothing, and hygiene products. If it is determined that medical attention is required, the team will assist the person in obtaining the appropriate treatment.
Safety Concerns
Partnering with Mobile Crisis around immediate safety concerns.
3. Referral to Other Provider Services
Problem Solving
Because we know that being homeless and being in a shelter is inherently traumatic, outreach workers support individuals and families in a problem-solving process, or housing counseling, to allow for resolution to homelessness, when possible.
Health Support
Linkage to mental health and other physical health support, food resources, and other potential benefit sources.
Systems Guidance
Bridge assistance in navigating other systems, like the criminal justice system, Children and Youth, or the educational system.
