Outreach & Engagement
“SPY helped get me out of the abusive relationship and dangerous living situation into safe housing where everyone is in my age group and provided me with a place to work on myself. SPY truly is a safe place for youth.” - Abigail, SPY youth
SPY's outreach team goes out into the community daily to connect with youth who are experiencing homelessness on the Westside of Los Angeles.
We build meaningful relationships and trust, while providing street based engagement and survival resources. Outreach staff provide snacks, hygiene packs, socks, as well as linkages to emergency shelter, mental health and medical care, and other on-site services at SPY’s Drop-In Center.
Outreach staff play a critical role in connecting youth to housing, mental health support, and long-term stabilization resources.
