Mary's Place - Outreach Request

Contact:

Web: Mary’s Place Outreach Request

About:

From the Mary’s Place website:

When should I submit an outreach request?

Did you see a family experiencing unsheltered homelessness who appears to need help? Notice a family who seems to be sleeping in their car or struggling with meeting their basic needs? Then you may be able to help them by filling out the outreach request form and letting us know about specific concerns you may have regarding the family’s well-being. As Mary’s Place outreach capacity is limited, requests for those with more serious medical and/or other safety needs may be prioritized.

When should I NOT submit an outreach request?

The Mary’s Place Outreach Team is only able to work with families who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Unfortunately, the team is not able to serve individuals who are couch surfing, temporarily living with friends or family, at risk of homelessness, facing eviction, or already staying in a shelter. If you know of a family in need that is not eligible for outreach services, encourage them to call 2-1-1.
