Oakland Street Outreach Program
In coordination with the Oakland Police, Neighborhood Service Coordinators, and Department of Human Services, street-based outreach workers provide incident- and “hot spot”- specific outreach in high-crime areas at hours of peak need - nights and weekends. Outreach workers maintain a consistent presence in these neighborhoods and, along with case managers, create relationships with high risk youth and young adults and connect them to appropriate services and resources. Teams also work on longer range truce-negotiation and conflict mediation.
