About Outreach GridOutreach Grid has just one mission: to end homelessness together.

Outreach Grid is the leading software platform that enables communities to collect and collaborate on homelessness information from first contact all the way through to housing. Built from the ground up since 2016, Outreach Grid continually works alongside service agencies, city/county officials, and law enforcement agencies to build out innovative tools and features to help communities better understand and address homelessness in their respective regions.

What Sets Us Apart

Outreach Grid specializes in creating innovative technological solutions to help communities better understand homelessness at the point of work. Everyone at Outreach Grid has gone on ride-alongs and outreach, has shadowed shelter operators, and visited permanent supportive housing programs. This enables us to build Outreach Grid empathetically at every layer of the system. We do all our engineering locally and built Outreach Grid from the ground up in Orange County.

Our work has been featured nationwide, such as the PBS Special: Homeless in Orange County CA: Is This The New OC and, more recently, the press conference of Orange County's new HOPE Center, where Outreach Grid serves as the HOPE Center's technological backbone.
