The FKOC has operated a Homeless Outreach Office since 1994. Information and referral, counseling and advocacy are offered as well as assistance with family reunification and personal care items.

Information provided includes the resources which are available to the homeless and others who are at risk of becoming homeless. Clients served may or may not be dealing with substance abuse or mental health issues. If these issues are present, referrals will be made to the appropriate service provider.

The Outreach Office helps to fill the gap of knowledge that clients have about resources available to them. This gap is usually due to the complexity of applying for services or being new to the area or being new to homelessness.

Outreach Office is opened 8:00 am - Midnight 7 days/week.
2221 Patterson Ave.
800-528-6595

Homeless Hotline provided by HelpLine is available 24 Hours a day
