Over the last couple of months, a dedicated group of individuals representing local agencies and organizations have been going directly into homeless encampments in the Olean area, meeting people where they are and helping connect them with services.

Because of the effort of all involved, we are starting to see results!

Two individuals have been connected with Department of Social Services for assistance, and a pregnant individual has been connected with prenatal care. Others are beginning to open up, build trust, and even direct our outreach teams to people who need help.

Homelessness is complicated. Many of the people we encounter are dealing with mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, and other barriers that make it difficult to get the help they need.
Sometimes it takes more than handing someone a phone number. It takes showing up, listening, and earning their trust.

I want to recognize City of Olean Fire Department, City of Olean, NY Police Department, Cattaraugus County Department of Social Services, Cattaraugus County Community Services, CASA-Trinity, CCA - Connecting Communities in Action, and Southern Tier Health Care System for stepping up and working together.

I don't believe we are going to eliminate homelessness in our community, but if we can help even one person take that first step toward getting the services and support they need, we are making a difference.

Sometimes it's not about having all the answers. It's about meeting people where they are and helping them find a pathway forward.

The File of Life is a magnetized pouch containing a person’s medical information that is placed on the refrigerator in case of emergency.

In rural areas, the information – obtained immediately by first responders who know right where to find it – can mean the difference between life and death. Hospital emergency departments report that the File of Life significantly speeds the triage process, especially for elderly and disoriented patients.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a File Of Life, please contact us at 716-372-0617 or on our website: https://www.sthcs.org/file-of-life

Keep little ones safe! Always use the dosing device that comes with liquid medicine—not a kitchen spoon. If another caregiver is giving medicine, write down what, how much, and when.
A little preparation can help prevent medication mistakes.
