HOMELESSNESS STREET OUTREACH: safety for the outreach team

Street outreach teams seek individuals experiencing homelessness to connect them with support and services. These teams do vital work, sometimes in tough areas. Check out this advice from street medicine practitioner Jospeh Becerra about how to keep an outreach team safe. (This advice is applicable whether you're doing housing-focused outreach, street medicine, or some other kind of outreach.)
