Report 1 HOPE Outreach is a crucial component of our work at Abode Services. Abode Services' mission is to end homelessness by assisting low-income, un -housed people, including those with special needs, to secure stable, supportive housing, and to be advocates for the removal of the causes of homelessness. Currently, the HOPE Project is providing street outreach services to people in Pleasanton who are homeless, extremely vulnerable, and currently disconnected from services. Our HOPE outreach team has continued to work closely with the Pleasanton Police Department, City staff, and other service providers to identify people who are homeless and on the street, receiving a total of 37 referrals during the first two quarters of the FY, and a total of 108 site visits with 60 contacts to clients at those sites. As proposed, we have been visiting them regularly at their sites to build rapport; and engaging them in services to promote stabilization. By providing these critically important linkages to homeless participants, the street outreach team has continued to systematically strengthen safety net services in Pleasanton, offering an alternative to criminalization and empowering the City to effectively address the crisis of homelessness in an increasingly progressive and effective manner. This has included working with 11 individuals on the intensive Housing Navigation with 181 total units of service provided, with several individuals n the housing search process. This thereby works to enhance overall quality of life in the community. Report 2 HOPE Outreach is a crucial component of our work at Abode Services.
