Goal 4:Prioritize assistance based on the greatest barriers to housing stability and the greatest risk of harm <br /> • Objective: Prioritize high need/high risk individuals for services. <br /> • Strategies: <br /> o Collaboration between non-profit, public, faith based and private <br /> organizations. <br /> o Clearly Communicate where and how to get help. <br /> o Street outreach (connecting with high-risk individuals) <br /> o Collaboration with law/code enforcement, healthcare, and the A-Team <br /> ■ What is high risk?-for recidivism - <br /> • Success Measures: <br /> o Faster placement for high-risk individuals (source: Coordinated Entry) <br /> o Improved stability— measured by reduction in recidivism (source: Commerce <br /> County Report Card) <br /> o Improved stability in Chronically Homeless individuals - measured by <br /> reduction in recidivism (source: Commerce Report Card) <br /> Will these strategies help accomplish the goal? <br /> • What are the greatest barriers—financial, mental health, physical health. <br /> • Coordinated training about the process, what to do with someone in crisis. <br /> • Communicate to community what the steps are, who to call, etc. Public and <br /> businesses needs skills on how to handle people. How can you help people? <br /> Not treating them as invisible. <br /> • Working with K-12 schools for identifying high need families. <br /> • Directing information to places frequented by people who are homeless. Engage <br /> city of Kittitas. Bathroom stalls. <br /> • Harm reduction approach for people who refuse services. What can we do? <br /> • How are people being prioritized? How are we defining high risk? Is the <br /> vulnerability index prioritizing the right people? <br /> Will we have leadership support for these strategies? <br /> • Population is hardest to reach, sometimes don't want to get help. Free will? <br /> Hard to achieve. But required by state. Cost savings, outcomes. Need to see <br /> results. We won't succeed with some people. <br /> Are these strategies realistic and achievable? <br /> • Hard one. Needs follow up work. Realistic, maybe not achievable. <br /> Are these measures appropriate? <br /> • How well the triage/prioritization is working? <br />
