About Us

Street Angels
Street Angels aims to bridge the gap between homelessness and housing through support, advocacy, and community collaboration.

Who We Are

Since Steet Angels’ founding in 2016, we’ve grown into a leading provider of street outreach services made possible through the generous support of our community.

Our diverse team builds lasting relationships with individuals experiencing homelessness, offering resources, hope, and a pathway to stability. We’re driven by a shared passion for serving our friends in need with dignity and compassion, believing in a two-pronged approach to combating homelessness:

  • Addressing urgent needs, like hunger, through direct service and basic supplies.
  • Connecting individuals with resources to break the cycle of homelessness.

By providing essential services and empowering our neighbors, we aim to create a future without homelessness.

Why We Do It

Milwaukee faces a complex homelessness crisis. Despite the best efforts of the local homeless services system, few individuals can obtain shelter or housing on any given night. Many individuals also struggle to access essential services and support, often due to trauma, systemic barriers, or lack of awareness.

Street Angels bridges this gap by providing immediate assistance, fostering hope, and advocating for those experiencing homelessness. Our goal is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and create a more just and equitable community for all.
