Funded by The Port Authority of NY & NJ, PATH outreach teams conduct outreach along the Sixth Avenue corridor in PATH train
stations from 33rd Street to Christopher Street. Homeless individuals tend to gravitate to these stations because
they are warm and clean. We creatively engage many of these people and remove them from the station by providing
transportation to drop-in centers, shelters, hospitals, and other appropriate facilities. In addition, when Port
Authority police contact a homeless person at one of the train stations, they will contact the PATH team to assist them with
engaging the client and transporting him to the appropriate facility.
