Street Outreach Program (SOP)

The Street Outreach Program is a competitive discretionary grant administered directly by the Department of Health and Human Services. This initiative focuses on providing essential street-based services to runaway and homeless youth who are victims of or at risk for sexual abuse, prostitution, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. By targeting areas where these youth congregate, the program aims to facilitate healthy decision-making and provide critical access to stable housing, emergency shelters, and basic necessities such as food and hygiene packages. Currently, the program status is closed pending the next funding cycle. The scope of the work falls under health, human services, and housing, with a specific focus on connecting vulnerable populations to a comprehensive range of available support services.
