CALLS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE
AFTER POLICE DISPATCH CALL DATA ANALYSIS, THE BEACH CITIES HAVE IDENTIFIED THE NEED OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES, AS HOMELESSNESS OFTEN COMES WITH DUAL DIAGNOSES. BECAUSE COUNTY PROGRAM RESPONSE TO CRISES IS OVER ONE HOUR, CITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS (SUCH AS POLICE AND FIRE) AS WELL AS HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS HAVE BEEN THE “FIRST RESPONSE” TO THESE CALLS.
OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM; LASER-FOCUSED ON PROVIDING INTENSIVE WHOLE-PERSON HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN EPISODES OF CRISIS WHICH WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ER VISITS AND FIRE & POLICE DEPARTMENT INVOLVEMENT. • TEAM:
• LICENSED CLINICIAN
• EMT/PEER
• SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELOR
• 4/10 SCHEDULE BLOCK DURING THE WEEK
• 3/12 SCHEDULE BLOCK DURING THE WEEKEND
PALLET SHELTER

• 55 PERMANENTLY HOUSED
• 55.5% RATE OF EXITS FROM SHELTER TO
PERMANENT HOUSING
• SPA 8 – 17% RATE OF EXITS FROM
