STREETSMARTS - Jewish Family Services' Street Outreach

Reaching Out to Our Homeless Community
One Person At A Time

Jewish Family Services' partnership with Street Smarts began in the spring of 2001. We help homeless individuals from all racial, cultural, gender, age and religious groups.  Our clients are on the streets for a number of reasons, including sexual abuse, family violence, drug addiction, lack of employment opportunities, family breakdown and, most notably, issues of mental health.  We offer support and reach out to this population, both before and after they become homeless. Our team is made up of former homeless and drug involved people, who are trained and walk with volunteers . Our team is on the street each night, walking in the market area, giving out socks, granola bars, toiletries and  support. Couselling is also available
