StreetWorks is a collaborative
effort among 13 youth-serving agencies that offer an array of housing options
and services, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, drop-in centers,
meal sites, clothing, HIV/STD prevention, medical care, mental health counseling,
alcohol and chemical dependency treatment, employment opportunities, educational
programs, and life skills programs.
StreetWorks identifies homeless youth on the streets of the Twin Cities through
its 33 outreach workers who canvass the streets from 2:00 p.m. to midnight
every day. Because member agencies have pledged to provide easy access to
their programs, outreach workers can immediately connect homeless youth with
a continuum of services while building trusting relationships with these individuals
that may last for years.
