".........is looking to contract a private security firm next month to provide homeless outreach services and removal and storage of property in addition."  

I can see a security firm taking care of the removal and storage of property, but they shouldn't provide outreach services.  We already have outreach people and they so far, haven't been too successful.  How would a security firm change the outcome?  On top of that, are there any security firms trained to provide proper outreach services?
