Street Outreach is the longest-running program at Outreach Community Health Centers. It is considered OCHC’s “boots on the ground.” The program provides hygiene, food, and basic necessities to individuals experiencing homelessness. Street Outreach can be found under bridges, in homeless encampments, park and ride areas, and other reported congregate areas where homeless individuals sleep.

Outreach Community Health Centers has been a vital part of the Greater Milwaukee area for over 40 years, providing high-quality primary, family, and behavioral health services. Committed to its founding mission, Outreach serves the homeless, those experiencing extreme poverty, and the uninsured. Corporate donations help us continue this mission, expanding care to underserved populations and building a healthier community for all.

Outreach’s Community Services programs are intended to be dynamic and responsive to community needs as they arise. Programs and services under the umbrella of Outreach’s Community Services Division are part of what distinguishes Outreach Community Health Centers from other area Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the community. Although Community Services programs may come with some restrictions regarding who qualifies for service, all are open to anyone in the community.

Outreach’s Mobile Health Unit establishes a regular rotation of service delivery to residents of area shelters and supportive housing programs, as well as food pantries, meal programs, and other places that provide services and support to those who may be struggling to meet basic needs.
