Who can contact Streetlight?
Individuals and families facing homelessness, hardship, or instability—and people helping them with permission—can contact us to discuss available resources. Our primary focus is Michiana.
Where do you serve?
Michiana is our starting focus. We may explore assistance or connections elsewhere in Michigan and Indiana when resources and partnerships allow. Statewide hubs and routes are long-term goals, not current coverage commitments.
Can I visit a community hub or meet a mobile vehicle?
No public hub address or mobile service schedule is currently listed. Contact us before making travel plans. Dedicated hubs and mobile fleet operations are part of our development vision.
What help is available right now?
Contact us to ask about current supplies, practical assistance, and resource connections. Availability changes with resources, location, and the type of need. This website does not promise a particular service or placement.
How soon will I hear back?
Response times vary, and we do not promise same-day assistance. This inbox is not monitored for emergencies. Call 911 for immediate danger.
Can I refer someone else?
Yes. Get their permission before sharing information, and include only their general location, main need, and a safe way to connect. Do not email sensitive documents.
Do I need to share my full story?
No. Start with a first name, general location, main concern, and safe contact method. Do not send Social Security numbers, bank information, identification documents, or medical records.
