Regular Outreach Services

Regular Outreach Services
Regular Outreach Services offer support to the unhoused community by bringing immediate-needs supplies and access to services into the field where clients are; from Anacortes to Marblemount. The Outreach Team can be accessed in Community Action’s lobby at the Mount Vernon Office from 12- 3:30 PM, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

To be eligible:

  • Potential clients need to be unhoused (living on the street, in a vehicle, motel, RV, space not meant for human habitation, in a squat, couch surfing, etc.), or living in a shelter environment or other housing program space. Newly housed folks are welcome to reach out for support.
  • You do not need any sort of documentation to ask for services, and there are no forms to fill out for our Outreach services (if we are helping you access services at another agency, they may require paperwork, intakes, etc.).

Skagit Recovery Navigator Program

The Skagit Recovery Navigator Program (SRNP) is an intensive case-management program which serves the unhoused community of Skagit County.
This program runs on a referral basis. 

SRNP requires a lot more paperwork and intakes and things than our Regular Outreach Services do; but it also comes with more support. Clients can expect 1-on-1 work, and a team of folks working to help clients succeed from local mental health, SUD, detox, and other service providers in the community. The SRNP Case Manager works with clients to identify their goals and works alongside them to affect change their lives. Anyone from the community can make a referral into SRNP.

Referral Phone Number: (360) 399-8283. This phone is staffed from 9 AM- 4 PM. If you call after hours, please leave a voicemail, or fill out the Referral Form below.

Referral Form: This form is meant to help our outreach workers and case managers connect with potential recovery navigator program clients in the field. The Skagit Recovery Navigator Program is an intensive case management program designed to help unhoused clients engage in services. Our goal is to follow up with every referral within 48 hours. Thank you for your referral.
