The Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) began wildfire and air quality related outreach when the fires first began. The team checked in and distributed PPE (personal protective equipment, i.e. masks), clothing, and ready meals/food to our unhoused population. MCT also teamed up with CCFD to distribute food and identify specific needs in the community. MCT also distributed PPE to our clients who are part of the master lease program at two local hotels and at Project Homekey.
