Nursing Care - Staff nurses, working with volunteers, operate scheduled clinics in drop-in centres and shelters. Nursing outreach is designed to locate people living outdoors, on the street - people who tend not to go to the locations where scheduled clinics occur.

Mental Health Support - For clients who also have mental health problems we provide intensive support, including crisis intervention and case management.

HIV/AIDS Prevention - Our clients are given preventive education, assistance with health problems and referral to other services. Condom distribution, a needle exchange and street outreach services are part of this program.

I.D. Replacement - We help our clients to obtain birth certificates, Social Insurance cards, Ontario Health Cards, landed immigration documents, and other documents necessary in dealing with modern bureaucracies.

Secure Mail Service - Homeless people by definition lack the postal address required to qualify for certain services. Street Health will provide the necessary mailing address and handle a person's mail.

I.D. Storage - The constant problem of loss or theft of identification documents among homeless and underhoused people is addressed by providing a secure, managed location for the storage of such documents.
