This article describes the Buddies Project, a small time-limited grant that employed two part-time formerly homeless persons on a community-based mental health outreach team to participate in social activities with difficult to engage homeless individuals. We offer clinical examples that point to the success of this small supported socialization project. We suggest that employing people with psychiatric disabilities to participate in social activities with homeless persons with psychiatric disabilities can be an important tool to decrease homeless persons' social isolation and engage them into mental health treatment and independent housing.
