Homeless Outreach

Objective

“Opening the doors to a brighter future and a stronger community.”

Responsibilities

Napa Police Department Outreach works to build a rapport with clients while introducing them to the many services available here in Napa County. We work as advocates, case managers and housing counselors to help our clients find the services that will lead to long term stable housing. This effort strengthens the community by giving those in need a hand up while working to reduce non-emergency calls to vital law enforcement and fire services in Napa County.

Housing Struggles

Winter or hot summer, this is a hard place to call home. Ask us how to enter the shelters, get hot showers, food, addiction recovery services, mental health services, medical services and most of all a new home!
