DTP Connects

In collaboration with various Tucson nonprofits, we are reducing homelessness in our city. Through a partnership with Old Pueblo Community Services (OPCS), individuals experiencing homelessness receive services and are placed in homes and shelters using the Housing First model. On-site interviews and assessments are provided by a dedicated community engagement specialist via a DTP Connects mobile unit. The mobile unit continues to make contact with individuals every weekday.
