- Connect with intentionality through 3,000 street outreach visits, 20,000 hotline calls, and connections to on-site services like mental health and medical care.
- Build a community of integrity through 20,000 ministry conversations to help people walk with Jesus and get at least 1,500 homeless neighbors off the streets.
