The CUPS Outreach team is often the first point of contact for people in crisis. They turn no one away and help address the immediate needs of those battling addiction, homelessness and poverty. In meeting these basic needs, our Outreach workers build a relationship of trust that can lead to positive change. The team responds with warmth and compassion providing:

  • Crisis counselling
  • Ongoing support and advocacy
  • Housing support
  • Referrals
  • Home visits
  • Emergency transportation
  • Work apparel
  • Basic needs services such as food hampers, clothing and toiletries

Through a partnership with the Calgary Alpha House Society, Outreach has extended its reach into Calgary communities. The Downtown Outreach Addiction Partnership (DOAP) offers on the spot addiction counselling and transportation to the Alpha House facility for treatment.
