Homeless Advocacy

The Salisbury Police Department's Homeless Advocate's responsibilities include reaching out to businesses and organizations to build relationships as well as researching what comparable cities are doing to address homelessness. Their goal is to help direct the homeless population to resources, touching on the points of food, shelter, clothing, treatment and employment.

The Homeless Advocate will have direct contact with patrol officers and detectives in the field and the ability to join them on necessary calls. They can also indirectly talk to those who are homeless about available resources through officers.
