Field Guide to Care

Care that shows up where the system usually doesn’t.

Healing Roots Outreach Collective brings naloxone, safer use supplies, wound care, peer support, and Indigenous-informed healing directly to unhoused and street-involved community members. The work is mobile, relational, and built around dignity rather than surveillance.

King + Pierce Mobile routes, encampment support, and community-based response.
Peer-led People with lived experience shape outreach, care, and trust-building.

How the Work Moves

Built for trust, not bureaucracy.

HROC is designed around response that can travel, relationships that can hold, and services that do not require people to navigate a maze first.

Route one

The RV and outreach team bring support directly into encampments, street-based communities, and locations where traditional systems routinely fail to reach people.

Route two

Peer workers build continuity. Support does not end after one supply handoff. People can reconnect by text, call, or through community relationships.

Route three

Indigenous-informed care means cultural integrity is not an add-on. Healing practices, teachings, and community wisdom remain part of how support is delivered.

Leadership

The people setting the tone for the work.

HROC’s founder pages now work like field profiles: grounded, specific, and connected to what each leader is building.
