The Reaching Out on the Streets (ROOTS) Program aims to reduce the prevalence of homelessness by addressing the social determinants of health, opening opportunities for personal agency, and intervening in critical moments of crisis to reduce criminal legal interactions, increase access to services, and reduce fatal overdoses. The staffing and organizational plan consists of both site and outreach workers who work citywide to help unhoused and unstably housed people to be healthy and safe while homeless through case management, referrals to services, addressment of daily living needs, criminal justice navigation, and follow-up care coordination.
Our staff will facilitate non-coercive service connection based on the client’s priorities; staff use motivational interviewing, unconditional positive regard, assertive engagement, trust and reciprocity to build relationships and meet client goals.
The ROOTS Outreach Site Manager position will be responsible for the daily supervision of site staff and oversee the functioning of sites in order to support the unhoused and unstably housed individuals. Current ROOTS sites are located in the Northside, Downtown and East Liberty, respectively in Police Zones 1, 2, and 5.
