Impact Reduction Program

Program

Using empathy and innovation, we minimize the impacts of homelessness today while partner programs expand access to safe, affordable housing. We provide garbage removal, hygiene access, resource referral and job opportunities – and remove campsites that pose the highest risk to health and safety.
