Designed for flexibility, speed, and impact, the Rover meets people where they are not just geographically, but emotionally and medically.

This is not just outreach, this is a revolution on wheels.
The Rover Program is redefining what’s possible in harm reduction. Fast, flexible, and fearless, it moves through city blocks and back roads alike, carrying the tools of survival and the power of presence into places the system has long forgotten.

Turnkey & Scalable: Built for now. Designed to grow. The Rover launches with minimal setup and maximum impact, ensuring no one is left behind.

Fully Equipped: This is a mobile lifeline, stocked with naloxone, syringes, wound care kits, condoms, safe smoking supplies, and so much more. Everything needed to meet people where they are and keep them alive.

Mobile & Secure :No walls. No stigma. No red tape. The Rover moves through public spaces, private encampments, alleyways, and community events anywhere people are in need, it’s there.

The Rover is a statement. That we will not wait. That we will not turn away.
That everyone deserves access to care, dignity, and the chance to survive another day. When the system stops at the sidewalk, the Rover keeps going. This is what harm reduction looks like unapologetic, unstoppable, and on the move.

Why Participate In The Rover Program ?

Harm Reductionists created The Rover For Harm Reductionists, and it has proven to be an innovative engagement tool for facilitating materials, information, and support. 

With the expertise of the RHI Board of Directors, Rover is:

  • A well-established, turnkey, and scalable model that can be deployed in any setting without disrupting established services.

  • A self-contained, multi-compartmental unit on wheels outfitted with a full range of harm reduction supplies organized into accessible compartments for efficient inventory control and easy to navigate in and out of private and public spaces.

  • A securable, with 2 external locks, the model can be adapted to any setting.

  • Supported with Technical Assistance: RHI provides Training, Implementation, and Continuous Quality Improvement Support and alignment of services and supplies based on local needs and legal environments.
