Hope Street Outreach Team
Sulzbacher’s HOPE Teams (Homeless Outreach Project Expansion) are street outreach teams that work to engage and bring services to those persons experiencing homelessness who are living on the streets in Downtown Jacksonville and at the Beaches. Designed with a medical focus, the HOPE Teams utilize trained medical outreach specialists to engage individuals and begin to build the trust needed to provide services. The HOPE Teams distribute clothing, blankets, food, water, and basic hygiene items to their clients. Medical and psychiatric staff travels with the van to provide medical outreach.
Sulzbacher operates two HOPE Teams, one serves the greater downtown area, and a second team serves the communities of Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach. Three additional HOPE Teams are operated in partnership with Changing Homelessness and the Department of Veterans Affairs. These teams are dedicated to meeting the needs of our homeless Veterans.

Housing & Hope on Wheels
Sulzbacher’s Housing and Hope on Wheels Bus delivers vital services directly to those experiencing homelessness in Duval County. By traveling to existing service locations across Jacksonville and The Beaches, the bus helps remove one of the greatest barriers to services that our homeless neighbors face: transportation.
Our Hope Team meets people where they are and connects them with the resources they need to take steps toward stability. Services include housing and benefits assessments, healthcare referrals, and access to basic necessities including hygiene kits and socks.
Collaboration is at the heart of this work. Through strong partnerships with other nonprofits,
Housing and Hope on Wheels is able to expand its reach, connect individuals to a broader network of services, and create a pathway to stability and self-sufficiency. This mobile outreach program is a vital tool in our mission to end homelessness, one connection at a time.
