Street Outreach for Homeless Youth
SAY’s Street Outreach team helps youth ages 12-24 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by addressing their most immediate needs. Our services include helping youth obtain ID’s, fill out employment applications, get new clothes, find housing, and support them in meeting their educational goals. In addition we provide crisis counseling to youth on the streets and refer them to long term counseling support if they want it.
Last year, 139 youth found a safe place to live at an SAY housing program.
83% of our graduates successfully transitioned into stable housing when they moved out.
