Announcing a Unique Partnership with the SF AIDS Foundation: Castro Cares Intensive Street Outreach!
One of the strengths of Castro Cares is that we are small, local and able to change our service model if we learn of new strategies. We're excited to announce that we're pivoting! Yes, we're pivoting away from traditional homeless outreach to intensive homeless outreach and tight or "warm" referrals. Through a unique collaboration with the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Castro Cares will soon be providing 20 hours a week of intensive homeless outreach.  The outreach worker will connect with people living on the street, build relationships, connect them with services and support them as they identify and work towards their goals for recovery. “We are looking forward to deepening our work with people who are experiencing homelessness or are marginally housed in the Castro, and at increased risk for HIV and hepatitis C. By working with Castro Cares, we will be able to draw upon our experience with homeless encampment outreach and link people to the health services, basic needs, assistance programs, and social support they crucially need.” – Mike Discepola, MA, Senior Director of Behavioral Health Services & Stonewall Project, San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
