STREATS can be found in almost any homeless shelter in the Washington, D.C. metro area, but the organization seeks to expand its services and advocacy to other areas. STREATS is working continuously to build its community and seek out collaborative relationships that will result in more STREATS locations where they are needed around the country. STREATS seeks collaborations with people dedicated to its mission of helping homeless people move into homes and self-sufficiency.

STREATS Business Opportunities: Other Information

STREATS allows their homeless participants to tell their stories via streats.tv and videos that have come to be known as the STREATS Soap Opera Series, in which homeless people were trained in videography, and created a seven-episode series about homelessness. STREATS has since expanded to other programs, including STREATS News, STREATS Faith and STREATS CARE.
