As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to address homelessness, on June 14, the City initiated the kickoff of the new R.I.S.E homeless outreach initiative.  R.I.S.E stands for Resilience, Inclusion, and Support for Ending Homelessness, and is a weekly collaboration of multiple city and county departments, local healthcare, and other critical service providers to offer assistance with housing, substance abuse, mental healthcare and medical treatment for Palm Springs’ unhoused residents.

The initiative will take place every Wednesday morning in Palm Springs from 7 a.m. – 9 a.m.  R.I.S.E. will be doing outreach around the City to offer resources that are accessible to our homeless community.  The two primary focuses of the effort will be located at the South Gene Autry Wash and the Flood Control Channel along Dinah Shore, east of Crossley Road.
