Street Outreach

For people currently unsheltered and experiencing homelessness


Our Street Outreach Specialists meet people experiencing unsheltered homelessness where they are: in encampments, under bridges, in cars and in other places not meant for people to live. We build trust over time and provide on-the-spot assessment, case management, referrals, and emergency survival supplies. Our goal is to connect each person to shelter, services and, ultimately, a permanent home.

We work alongside other agencies in Wake County’s homeless services system so the people we meet can access Coordinated Entry and the full range of housing resources in our community.

If you are experiencing homelessness and need help, visit Triangle Family Services at 3937 Western Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27606, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m., call 919.821.0790, or go to one of Wake County’s access sites:
