This video was produced for the Downtown Detroit Partnership to demonstrate the innovative work of the 2-1-1 On the Go! team in downtown Detroit.

The program employs United Way for Southeastern Michigan caseworkers who travel downtown Detroit streets conducting one-on-one interventions and offering on-site assistance to homeless individuals.  To do this, two fully equipped cars go into the community to provide eligible individuals with the tools to overcome the common barriers to employment and permanent housing.

This is one of the many 2-1-1 On the Go! success stories.
