The SWAN Mobile Outreach Van distributes harm reduction and safer use supplies to people in the Greater New Haven area, free of charge.

SWAN’s commitment to harm reduction means we try to meet people’s most pressing needs without standing in judgment of their choices. The support and supplies you receive are entirely up to you.

Since 2016, SWAN’s outreach team has been providing critical support to sex workers, people who use drugs, and people experiencing homelessness. The Mobile Outreach Van launched in October 2020, and the program continues to expand.
