Homeless Outreach Services

The Homeless Services Outreach Unit is currently comprised of three full-time civilian employees. Regular working hours for the team are Monday through every other Saturday. 

While the Homeless Services Unit is responsible for many functions, most often you can find the team out in the community helping the unhoused population connect with resources. These resources include but are not limited to: housing vouchers, behavioral/mental health clinicians, social workers and various forms of economic aid. In addition to facilitating the resources, the team directly works to help clients fill out identification paperwork, establish mail, access basic hygiene supplies/needs, and food.

The City is aware of the growing concern around homelessness within Davis and the surrounding area. While we take every complaint and need seriously, the volume of requests and federal case law do not always result in an expedient solution. The issues surrounding homelessness are complex and we are happy to discuss them with you should you have questions. Please contact the team at homelessoutreach@cityofdavis.org for more information.

If you have concerns about encampments, please contact code enforcement at codecompliance@cityofdavis.org. The Homeless Outreach Unit works directly with Code Enforcement to outreach in areas where camp cleanups must occur due to public health and safety issues.
