Outreach workers meet with Homeless individuals and assist them with obtaining housing, healthcare, income, and other mainstream benefits.
Our team provides outreach and case management services to hundreds of Cape Codders facing homelessness each year. Many people across the Cape and Islands are living in the woods, on the streets, or in their cars. Many have complex medical conditions and/or a low income, which makes maintaining housing difficult. Housing Assistance provides support and referrals to anyone experiencing homelessness find and maintain housing to live a more independent life.
