Call with Brady August from Youth Service Bureau Street Outreach

On Monday May 1, Parker interviewed Brady August for half an hour about the Youth Bureau Street Outreach team. We discussed the origin of the street outreach program, its mission, personnel, training, financial and non-financial resources, and traction in the community. August was very excited about the FUSE program and the housing-first initiative, but he identified a clear disconnect between developing the housing and actually getting the necessary people into the apartments. August provided further evidence that there is a need to locate and prioritize who should be in the housing first.
