Street Homeless Outreach

​

Outreach staff engage with individuals and families (including unaccompanied youth) experiencing homelessness in Baltimore County, and who are staying in varied locations such as bus shelters, encampments, woods or other unsustainable housing situations. For those who are ready, staff will help them enter emergency shelter programs and take advantage of our full range of case management and related services. For those who prefer not to come to shelter, outreach staff will provide items and services where they are.

For information on Street Homeless Outreach, contact the Street Homeless Outreach Manager, La’Nyece Grant at lgrant@canconnects.org or call 443-794-1849 or 410-285-4674 and press option 4.
