City of Seattle Human Services Department
Outreach and engagement services are the initial steps in a process that connects individuals who are homeless to health, social service systems and housing. Outreach programs are an important component within the continuum of care. They help individuals with long histories of homelessness establish relationships with people and with services to move them from living on the streets or in shelters toward stable housing.
