Street Outreach Teams: A Canadian Civic Overview
Street Outreach Teams (SOTs) are specialized emergency services units operating within Canada’s homelessness and emergency support systems. These teams are deployed to engage individuals experiencing homelessness in high-risk environments, such as extreme weather conditions, public spaces, or areas with limited access to shelters. Their primary role is to provide immediate physical safety, connect individuals to essential services, and de-escalate crises.
