Engagement & Placement Services


Outreach Teams and Drop-in Centers constitute the engagement and placement arms of Urban Pathways’ programming.   With a focus on meeting homeless people on the streets or in drop-in centers where they can receive housing-focused case management, as well as receive concrete services, these programs are both the point of entry and path to permanency in that they work to engage and refer, and place clients into transitional and/or permanent housing.


Outreach Programs


Urban Pathways' outreach programs help homeless individuals leave the streets, enter drop-in centers or other programs and become housing-ready through the rehabilitative process and have the goal of helping homeless women and men along the path to self-sufficiency and permanent housing.

Drop-In Centers


Our 24-hour drop-in centers offer adults access to meals, clothing, showers and rehabilitation and recovery programs.   They also provide on-site medical, mental health and substance abuse assessments.  In addition, utilizing a strong case management approach, the centers provide individual counseling, entitlement assistance, banking facilities, vocational training, money management and instruction in other independent living skills, all of which help clients successfully transition to housing.
