TARGET POPULATION

Originally focused on individuals in or Harm Reduction seeking recovery, those affected by the criminal justice system, individuals self-reporting opioid use, and those at risk of developing an opioid or stimulant use disorder. We have now added people who are unhoused and self-report current use of fentanyl and ICE to our target population.

Our current work is a direct response to the rise in unhoused people using opioids and other drugs in Eastlake and nearby areas. While our practices remain the same, we have added a new component to address these changes.

  • Connects individuals to overdose education, counseling, and treatment referrals for infectious diseases and substance use disorders.

  • Connects people to shelters and other housing programs.

  • Distributes opioid overdose reversal medications (e.g., Narcan) and fentanyl strips to those at risk of overdose or likely to respond to an overdose.

  • Weekly support group offering community, recovery support, and education on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and other recovery options.

  • Provides over-the-counter topical solutions, bandages, and other aids for minor injuries.

  • Breakfast and a hot lunch.

  • Offers a safe place to relax and rest
