A structured, repeatable pipeline that moves people from homelessness to stable housing and employment.
Our field teams build trust with individuals experiencing homelessness. No pressure, no obligations. Just a conversation and an invitation.
A licensed psychologist conducts a comprehensive interview in a safe, comfortable environment. We learn their story, their needs, and their goals.
We don't hand a church a case number. We introduce them to a person. A facilitated meeting lets both sides build a genuine connection.
The church provides housing and a grocery allowance for 6 to 12 months. Zero Street manages the case, tracks milestones, and keeps everyone accountable.
We place individuals into sustainable employment through training, second-chance employers, and long-term career placement. Support tapers as self-sufficiency grows.
The questions congregations ask before they say yes, answered plainly.
Six to twelve months of housing and grocery support, agreed in advance. The end date is set at the start, not left open. Support tapers as the individual moves toward self-sufficiency rather than stopping abruptly.
Zero Street does. Outreach, intake, assessment, matching, case management and employment placement are ours. The congregation provides housing, groceries and relationship — not casework.
Through a structured intake interview conducted in a safe, comfortable setting before any match is proposed. Nobody is introduced to a congregation without that assessment being completed first.
We stay involved throughout, with monthly check-ins and milestone tracking, so problems surface early rather than at the end. A congregation is never left to manage a breakdown on its own.
The congregation's cost is housing and a grocery allowance for the agreed term. Our own operating costs — outreach, assessment, case management — are funded by donations, not charged to partners.
