The City of Grande Prairie's Mobile Outreach is a diversion program focused on mitigating the impacts of street-level social disorder, addiction, and public intoxication. The program assists businesses and residents in handling their concerns related to the street-engaged population. Concerns may include trespassing, loitering, disturbances, public intoxication, needle debris, and encampments.
Mobile Outreach is intended to provide immediate support for a client’s basic needs and navigation through local service systems such as emergency shelters, health care, addiction treatment, and housing.
Services Mobile Outreach provides include:
- Response to community
- Improved access to social services
- Transportation to a safe place
- Connection of clients to community resources (addictions and mental health services, housing resources, etc.) and supplies (water, snacks, information)
- Assistance with client appointments, regular check-in with clients, and positive relationships.
