Homeless Outreach Kits

Care can meet someone where they are without asking them to prove their worth.

Who this is for

Start with the person. Then build the response.

Neighbors experiencing homelessness or housing instability and outreach partners serving them directly.

How it works

A clear, caring next step.

01

Reach out

Tell us what is happening through the assistance form or by phone.

02

We review

Staff reviews the need, timing, available documentation, geography, safeguards, and program capacity.

03

A next step

If eligible resources are available, we coordinate support. When we are not the right door, we help identify another.

Our promise to you

We will listen first—and help you find the next right door.

Every situation is different. We will take time to understand what is happening, be honest about what we can offer, and explain the next step clearly. If another partner is better equipped to help, we will do our best to connect you. Your information and your story will be treated with care, dignity, and respect.

There is a door for you

Choose the next step that fits today.

Come through the door that fits today—ask for help, serve alongside us, or help keep the porchlight on for another Mississippi neighbor.
