Find homeless living outside - Safety
Under no circumstances should team members place themselves in an
unsafe situation
No data is worth getting hurt over
Safety in numbers
Consider enlisting the help of homeless/formally homeless, who may have
the relationships and/or experience necessary to conduct surveys safely
Sometimes homeless persons are paid to collect data
If available, use existing trained outreach workers (PATH, other mental
health outreach workers)
Sometimes law enforcement or firefighters are part of team, but this
can reduce participation
