One of Urban Pathways' main strategies to fulfill its mission is the development of ground-breaking program models
designed to, on one hand move clients rapidly and directly into permanent housing from our street outreach and
drop-in center programs yet still include supportive services to address each client's most basic needs,
including freshly prepared, nutritious meals, showers and medical attention. Each year, Urban Pathways
spends over $100,000 on products related to meeting these needs. Freeing up even a portion of this expense
in our tight operating budget will allow program directors to increase critical services such as medical attention and
housing placement and expedite our clients' move down the road to permanent housing.
