AID offers Street Outreach Program for the homeless

The Association for Individual Development Street Outreach Program supports individuals experiencing homelessness by encouraging engagement with appropriate mental health services.

The goal of this program is to reduce inappropriate use of emergency services and support individuals with mental health needs.

Initial engagement and street outreach will be unique to each individual.

The level of engagement and length of service will depend on each individual's needs.

It is eligible for individuals who are frequently using emergency services due to homelessness and an increase in mental health concerns.

To learn more, contact AID Street Outreach Case Manager Carrie James at (847) 931-2351.
