A Small Strip. A Big Impact. A Mission Worth Pursuing.
Help Us Deliver Wellness Across the Streets of California.
StreetSafe Strips™ Pilot Partnership.
Bring a Proven Wellness Program to the People You ServeStreetSafe Strips™ are dissolvable oral wellness films designed for people living in harsh conditions: on the street, in shelters, or in unstable housing. They support daily wellness, hydration comfort, and a sense of calm in a format that is fast, discreet, and easy to use.
This page explains exactly how our Joint Pilot Program works between:
1. Signal Wellness Foundation (program design, product, and data analysis)
2. Local partner organizations (distribution, participant engagement, and on-the-ground insight).
Who This Pilot Is For
We are looking to partner with organizations that already serve vulnerable communities, including:
1. Homeless services and outreach programs
2. Shelters and transitional housing providers
3. Faith-based and community organizations
4. Health and wellness nonprofits
If you support people who are unsheltered, at risk, or in crisis, this pilot is designed to plug directly into your existing work with minimal disruption.
What StreetSafe Strips™ Are
StreetSafe Strips™ are:
1. Small, dissolvable films placed on the tongue
2. Formulated with vitamins and botanicals for wellness and immune support
3. Designed to support oral comfort, hydration, and a calmer day-to-day experience
4. Non-addictive, discreet, and easy to carry
What they are not:
1. Not a medication, not a cure, and not a replacement for medical care
2. Not nicotine or any smoking product
3. Not a prescription or controlled substance
We train your team on exactly how to describe the product in clear, compliant language.
How the Joint Pilot Works (Step-by-Step)
1. Purchase and Supply
A funder (city, county, donor, or foundation) issues a purchase order for a defined quantity of StreetSafe Strips™.
Signal Wellness coordinates manufacturing and packaging with our production partners.
Product is shipped directly to your organization with clear labels, usage instructions, and lot tracking.
You do not need to manage formulation or production. You simply receive, store, and distribute.
2. Receiving and Storage
Your team receives the shipment and checks the quantity and basic condition.
Initial inventory is logged (how many packs, date received, lot numbers).
Product is stored in a secure, dry staff area (for example, a locked cabinet).
We provide a simple inventory template so anyone on your team can track it without extra systems.
3. Staff Training
Before the first strip is handed out, we provide a short training for your staff (live or virtual):
What StreetSafe Strips™ are and are not
How to explain the pilot to participants in plain language
How to enroll participants and assign anonymous IDs
How to hand out strips each week
How to ask the short weekly questions
How to record usage and observations in a simple log
What to do if a participant reports discomfort or wants to stop
All forms, scripts, and templates are provided by Signal Wellness Foundation.
4. Participant Enrollment
Your team invites people you already serve to participate. Typical participants include:
Individuals experiencing homelessness
People in shelter or transitional housing
Women and families at risk
Youth or veterans, depending on your population
The process is simple:
Staff explain the pilot in plain language and answer questions.
Participation is voluntary and free.
Each person who agrees receives an anonymous Participant ID (for example, SWS-001).
Staff complete a short baseline intake form under that ID (dry mouth, energy, hydration difficulty, overall wellness).
The participant receives their first week’s pack of StreetSafe Strips™.
No names or personal identifiers are included in the data that leaves your organization.
5. Weekly Distribution and Check-Ins (6-Week Pilot)
Our first test pilot we would like to run for 6 weeks.
Once per week:
Participants come to a predictable distribution point at your site or outreach location.
Staff confirm their Participant ID.
Staff hand them a new pack of strips for the week (for example, 7 or 14 strips).
Staff ask a short set of weekly questions, such as:
Did you use the strips this week?
Did they help with dry mouth or oral discomfort?
Did you feel more able to drink water and stay hydrated?
Did you feel any improvement in your energy or overall day-to-day feeling?
Did you feel calmer or more steady after using them?
The answers are recorded on a simple weekly check-in sheet under the participant’s ID.
This process takes about 30–60 seconds per person.
If someone skips a week, staff mark it as “missed” and continue the following week if they return.
6. Observation and Safety
During the pilot:
Staff can note quick observations (for example, “people are asking for strips by name” or “more participants are carrying water bottles”).
Any discomfort or concern is logged as an “incident” under the participant’s ID and shared with Signal Wellness in a de-identified way.
Participants can stop at any time, no questions asked.
This is a low-risk wellness program. There is no requirement to access medical records or provide medical services.
7. End-of-Pilot Survey
At the end of the 6-week period (or when a participant completes their final visit), staff ask a slightly longer set of questions, such as:
Overall, did StreetSafe Strips™ help with dry mouth or oral discomfort?
Did they help you stay more hydrated or drink water more regularly?
Did you feel any overall improvement in how you felt day to day during the pilot?
Did you feel calmer or more steady after using them?
Would you like these to be available at this site all year?
Should these be available at other shelters and outreach programs in the city?
This provides clear, participant-driven feedback on impact and demand.
8. Data Sharing and Final Report
At the end of the pilot:
Your team compiles the de-identified intake, weekly check-ins, end surveys, inventory logs, and any incident or observation notes.
This data is sent securely to Signal Wellness.
Signal Wellness analyzes the results and prepares a formal outcome report, including:
How many people participated
How often strips were used
Percentage of participants reporting improvements in oral comfort, hydration comfort, energy, and calmness
Cost per person per week and per month
Partner staff feedback and participant comments
The final report is reviewed and co-signed by both Signal Wellness Foundation and your organization.
Together, we present the findings to city or county officials to support continued funding or expansion.

Co-signs the final pilot report and helps present results locally
Why Cities and Funders Care About This Pilot
This pilot is designed to answer the questions that city and county decision-makers actually ask:
Does this improve day-to-day wellness in vulnerable populations?
Is it low-burden for local organizations to run?
Are participants using it and asking for it?
Is it affordable to provide at scale?
Can we see clear, measurable benefits from a relatively small investment?
The structure of the pilot, the measurement tools, and the final reporting are all built to plug into city budgeting and public-health conversations.
How You Run the Pilot Is Up to You
Every organization is set up differently. StreetSafe Strips™ is designed to plug into your existing workflow with as little friction as possible.
You can:
Use our optional digital data-collection software on a tablet or computer
Or simply print and use the same questionnaires and logs on paper
Or integrate the questions into your own internal forms and systems
The core protocol stays the same. You choose the tools that work best for your staff and the people you serve.
