Salt Lake City Police Department Homeless Outreach Service Team (Host) Program Overview
The Homeless Outreach Service Team (HOST) program was originally developed to bring Salt Lake City (Utah) police officers and community outreach workers together to identify homeless individuals who panhandle or engage in other types of public nuisance activities in the city and connect them to community resources. The main objectives were to encourage police to make referrals to services rather than issue citations and to decrease the prevalence of panhandling by encouraging the public to give money to service providers rather than directly to panhandlers. In 2012, the Salt Lake City Police Department expanded the program to include a public awareness campaign, coordinate strategic planning efforts, and recruit and train formerly homeless individuals as volunteers to assist with outreach efforts. This report, which covers the three primary components of the program - donations to homeless service providers, the homeless support group, and collaborative street outreach - is a valuable resource for anyone interested in homeless outreach efforts.By Salt Lake City Police DepartmentCategories: Community Partnerships • Nonviolent CrimeLanguage: EnglishPublic link
