Homeless Programs
Bay Area Community Health’s Street Health Program aims to improve the health and well-being of residents in need of street health services including a special program for the unhoused, Homeless Street Medicine (HSM). The Street Health team conducts direct street outreach, engagement, and health care to people in remote encampments, on city streets, near freeway ramps, and in hidden corners of urban and rural communities.
The Street Health team has established sites in the Tri City area including seven in the Tri-Valley area to engage patients to provide clinical services and increasing access to harm reduction, patient stabilization and related services, including referrals to health care and housing providers.
Services include:
Case management
Medical services
Specialty referrals
Benefit assistance
General supplies/incentives
Other types of referrals to outside organizations: housing employment, harm reduction and more
