Community street teams

Community street teams are groups of trained workers who engage directly with residents and visitors on local streets and public spaces. Their goal is to build trust, gather feedback, and connect individuals to services such as health, housing, or social support. By being visible and accessible in the community, they help address issues like homelessness, violence, or public safety in a proactive, community-centered way. These teams often collaborate with local organizations and authorities to improve neighborhood well-being and foster positive relationships between residents and service providers.
