Braving the bitter cold, our Street Outreach teams save lives ✨
Despite the frigid temperatures and hazardous conditions this past weekend, the GRAND Outreach Teams hit the streets offering those experiencing homelessness sanctuary and refuge from the bitter cold. The response began late last week, as teams went out warning community members that life-threatening weather was approaching, offering supplies, help, and hope to those in need.
In just 3 days:
✔️144 individuals were moved from the streets into shelter
✔️70+ calls were answered for people needing help with access to warming stations and crisis urgent care
✔️41 GRAND staff were transported safely to and from our Addiction Recovery Center and Urgent Recovery Center during hazardous conditions so that they could continue to serve our communities
✔️Several individuals struggling with substance use disorder were taken directly to medical detox or admitted into our URCs to begin their treatment journey
And our work continues – our teams are still out there helping to keep people safe as the frigid temperatures continue to be life- threatening. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to us today!
