What it reported doing in 2024
Friends & neighbors' coordinated street outreach (cso) team served nearly 1000 individuals experiencing homelessness and/or housing insecurity in york county in 2024. Advocates reach out to people in the streets, under the bridges, and wherever they are to check on their safety and wellness, and to give them essential supplies and connect them to resources. This direct support along with service coordination with collaborative partners helps individuals transition to stable housing and/or employment. In 2024, the beacon resource center was open four afternoons per week for people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. At this day center 2,212 individuals, averaging more than 100 people per day, were able to find relief from the weather, hydrate, use restrooms, receive mail, and meet with advocates and representatives from partner organizations such as healthcare providers, aging services, probation, housing, and other supportive services.
