The Street Connect focus is on homeless individuals with an identified need that can¿t already be met within the community. The Street Connect team provides both outreach and in-reach services, trying to meet clients where they are, to eliminate any barriers to accessing services.The mission of the Street Connect program is to provide client centered care to the unhoused populations in the City of Red Deer. The program will extend the continuum of addictions, mental health, and physical health service options for high acuity unhoused individuals who are not attached to a service provider and/or community agency. The program entails a primary and secondary stream of service:
- Primary Service (Wraparound care): clients who are appropriate for program will work with the multidisciplinary team developing a treatment plan, goal setting, and working with clients for their mental health, addictions, and medical needs
- provide community resources and link to more appropriate services through a warm handoff
The multidisciplinary team of Street Connect provides assertive outreach and in reach services to homeless clients who are ineligible for other services.
This service is provided by Alberta Health Services and Alberta Health Services contracted service providers.
