Each year the SID’s Outreach Team help hundreds of people downtown access services and move off the streets.

The Outreach Team meets with clients in the office and out on the street to:

Find temporary or permanent supportive housing. Connect clients with physical or mental challenges with services. Link veterans to eligible services. Obtain copies of birth certificates and identification cards. Help clients with criminal records find work. Assist with transportation, utilities, access to the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, and small household items.
