THE SIOUXLAND STREET PROJECT
The goal of the Siouxland Street Project is to determine how we, as a compassionate community, effectively deal with the issue of vagrancy in Sioux City. Participants in the project include members of the business community, local government, law enforcement, nonprofit and service agencies, Native community membership, medical and public health sectors, education and funders, among others. The project aims to expand on the utilization of local community resources and assets, such as shelters, missions, food assistance programs, mental health programs, recovery centers, and hospitals in order to address the issue of vagrancy/homelessness in Sioux City.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Siouxland Street Project is a coalition of concerned citizens and organizations that serves to coordinate services provided to homeless individuals and to promote safe, decent, affordable, appropriate housing. This will result in a healthy, viable community that has safe shelter, housing, and provides compassionate services through information, funding and networking.
