City of Cambridge Homeless Census
The Homeless Census is organized and spearheaded by the Cambridge Department of Human Services and CASPAR’s First Step street outreach program. During an 8 hour overnight affair, volunteers from multiple City departments and organizations carry out the task of actually counting each homeless individual found living on the street. The count is part of an overall effort to count homeless persons in Cambridge and Somerville. The count includes those persons living in transitional housing centers, shelters, hospitals and on the street. Pro provides staffing, vehicles and radios for the event.

H.E.A.T. and I.C.E. Programs
Both the Heat Emergency Assistance and Transportation (HEAT) Immediate Cold Emergency (ICE) Programs were implemented by Pro EMS. The programs are intended to assist residents at risk during times of extreme weather conditions. These programs complement a wide variety of City programs offered to elders and at risk individuals. Numerous agencies and City Departments are cooperating entities.
