Connecting Agencies:
Community Outreach Services was designed to create and maintain relationships with existing outreach services within the City of Lethbridge and to ensure all organizations providing outreach services have up-to-date information on programs and services, initiatives related to homelessness and emergency assistance.

By creating a team concept between outreach agencies, opportunities such as training, reporting mechanisms and problem-solving techniques will provide a “seamless” system of service delivery within inter-agency developed protocols.

The Need:
Outreach Support Services, in combination with other short and long-term solutions, have been identified as one of the keys to ensuring people are able to secure and maintain the right housing option for their situation.
