Engage

Serve the homeless in their time of need through prevention, outreach and support services.

Engage Priorities:

  • Strengthen the current homeless outreach to provide teams (social worker/police) for outreach services, including enough trained and dedicated/designated officers to provide outreach 24 hours a day as crisis situations emerge.
  • Provide linkage and transportation 7 days a week to the community campuses, crisis housing and emergency shelters.
  • Establish a reunification fund to help homeless return back to their home origin/family in other states/communities.
  • Improve coordination of all meal sharing efforts within the city of Fort Lauderdale to ensure that we have indoor food options, that fit the requirements of the city, every day of the week and decrease the impact to local area parks and beaches.
