About Us
Helping Hands Outreach Services is committed to addressing the complex issue of homelessness across the United States. Our plan aims to tackle the root causes of homelessness while providing comprehensive support to individuals and families in need. By combining immediate relief with long-term solutions, we seek to create a lasting impact on the lives of those affected by homelessness. We collaborate with local schools, community centers, and social services to identify individuals and families at risk of homelessness. Offer financial literacy workshops, job readiness programs, and mental health support to prevent homelessness before it occurs. Establish a dedicated hotline to provide counseling and resources for individuals facing eviction or housing insecurity, connecting them with legal assistance and mediation services. We partner with housing developers, government agencies, and private investors to create affordable housing options across different income levels. We set up comprehensive case management services for homeless individuals, connecting them with medical care, mental health counseling, addiction treatment, and job training programs. We develop a network of social workers and outreach teams to build relationships with homeless individuals, guiding them through the process of accessing available resources. We plan to establish vocational training programs that align with local job markets, equipping individuals experiencing homelessness with skills that enhance their employability. Partner with local businesses to create job placement opportunities, internships, and apprenticeships for program participants.
