Street Team Services
Healing the Streets (HTS) is a new program that provides services to people experiencing homelessness who have mental health needs and may also be using substances like drugs and alcohol in a way that negatively impacts their lives.
HTS provides supportive case management services that include access to physical and behavioral health care and housing assistance.
This program combines street medicine with an expanded level of behavioral health services, case management and peer support using a Critical Time Intervention model, and connection to housing navigation and housing support funds (for those who are eligible). County partners and key stakeholders work together to serve community members experiencing homelessness in the cities of Watsonville and Santa Cruz. The HTS program is funded by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
