The San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team (SFHOT) is a collaboration between CATS, the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH), and the Human Services Agency (HSA), targeting chronically homeless adults on the streets of San Francisco that are high-risk, hard-to-reach and typically do not seek services. SFHOT Case Managers and Outreach Specialists build a rapport with homeless adults and then connect them with needed services. Short-term case management offers needed support, as clients stabilize and reach a higher level of functioning. A multi-disciplinary team composed of licensed mental health professionals, as well as street-smart outreach workers, addresses a wide variety of problem areas.
