About the Program
WAIT House’s Street Outreach Program (SOP) works with homeless, runaway, and street youth to help them find stable housing and services. SOP focuses on developing relationships between outreach workers and young people that allow them to rebuild connections with caring adults and their communities.
Youth in SOP typically are sleeping in places not suitable for habitation such as parks, tents or cars or they are couch-surfing.
Who is eligible?
Youth ages 16-24 who are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness.
