This is often frustrating for community members who mistakenly assume that <br />a call to outreach teams or SAPID directly correlates with the individual no longer on the streets <br />either through incarceration or shelter. Outreach workers, including SAPD/QOLT, cannot force <br />an individual into shelter, nor take an individual to jail without reason. Additionally, shelter, for <br />some, will never be a viable option. Mental health disorders, including a lack of treatment for the <br />most seriously mentally ill, causes the kind of delusions and irregular behavior that make living <br />in a shelter untenable. For these individuals, it is the persistent outreach and encouragement by <br />outreach workers that may lead to mental health or substance abuse treatment, or a permanent <br />housing option. To achieve the best response from outreach services, it is essential to deploy <br />the correct street outreach team. <br />
