Help Us Locate Homeless

The Sub Zero Mission actively searches for individuals living outdoors — in wooded areas, parks, underpasses, abandoned structures, and places most people never see. When temperatures drop, hours matter. Your report helps our volunteers reach someone quickly and safely.

If you’ve seen someone who may be homeless or in need of warmth or assistance, please share the location details below. Cross streets, landmarks, parking lots, wooded areas, and bus stops all help us pinpoint where to search.

After reviewing this information, scroll down and complete the form. Your submission goes directly to our outreach coordinators, who assess the report and determine the fastest, safest response.

“Volunteers provide warming items and support directly on the street — meeting people where they are.”

“Teams reach people in remote and difficult locations, especially when temperatures and conditions turn dangerous.”

How Your Report Helps Our Mission

Our volunteers search for individuals living outdoors in wooded areas, parks, underpasses, abandoned structures, and other places that are difficult to monitor. Your report gives us the exact locations we would never find on routine outreach.

If you have recently seen someone who appears to be homeless or in distress, please take a moment to share what you know. Even a small detail — a landmark, vehicle, trail entrance, or direction of travel — can help us determine the right team and the safest response.

Once you review this information, scroll down and complete the form. Your submission goes directly to our outreach coordinators so they can evaluate the situation and act quickly when cold weather or safety concerns are involved.

“Blue Coats meet people where they are — listening, learning, and delivering what truly helps.”

We deliver to homeless from Cleveland, through Painesville to Ashtabula on a regular basis from late November through the middle of March. We also do outreach to Akron, Coumbus, Erie, Buffalo and other regions.
