The mission at SEARCH Homeless Services is:

Providing hope, creating opportunity, and transforming lives.

SEARCH has led the way by creating programs to meet the needs of homeless persons.

While other agencies have followed our lead and have also created similar services as the needs arose, SEARCH remains in the forefront of service delivery, adding most value in the high quality, outcomes driven way services are delivered.

SEARCH s unique qualities are:

(1) Efficient connector of people to resources:

SEARCH works closely with critical partners including Healthcare for the Homeless, Cenikor, MHMRA, Harris County Hospital District, overnight shelters, and more to create the city?s most comprehensive multi-service Resource Center.

These services are extended into the community through SEARCH?s

Mobile Outreach Program that connects people who are isolated and disengaged to available help.

(2) Client-centered:

SEARCH?s employment, adult education, early childhood development, and case management services are comprehensive and client-centered , a choice driven, respectful way of working with people that produces effective results and works towards building longer-term results in transforming lives.

(3) Evidence-based:

SEARCH services follow evidence/research based practices to produce more predictable outcomes in serving this target population that presents complex challenges.
