Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST)
*all dates listed below are tentative and subject to change*
The Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST), operated by Catholic Charities and funded by the City of Santa Rosa, is a street outreach team that actively works in our community to engage unsheltered homeless into services and housing in collaboration with the Police Department’s Downtown Enforcement Team (DET) and other providers such as Social Advocates for Youth. The City Council funded this pilot effort starting in August 2015.
