Streets Teams
Unsheltered people are employed on our Streets Teams to respond to neighborhood problems such as illegal dumping. Streets Team staff serve as land stewards and role models, and engage in continuous community engagement with encampment residents. This work benefits both the community and the workers.
"I help run the showers, and work on the streets team on Friday. This is my first actual job with a regular paycheck. I like the people I work with, and it’s great having a job. I make $15.50 an hour. "
- Sasha Allen, encampment resident and SOS employee
