Street Outreach Program (SOP) & Youth Resource Center (YRC)

 

735 street survival kits distributed in 2023.

What it is.

Our Street Outreach Program (SOP) is composed of case managers who work with youth experiencing unstable housing, neglect, or abuse. They do this through roving Collin County and managing our Youth Resource Center (YRC).

Whether young adults are needing a shower, new clothes, assistance with their job search or to speak with a counselor, the staff at the YRC can help. We provide access to food, hygiene products, laundry facilities and a safe place to shelter between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays. Additionally, we work with community partners to connect youth with other resources to meet their long-term needs. Located within walking distance of a DART station and bus stop, we are able to provide ample support for at-risk young adults up to 21 years old.
