Type and Scope of services to be performed:
This project funds The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless’ Denver Street Outreach Collaborative (DSOC) and Strategic Outreach to Large Encampments (SOLE) program. DSOC and SOLE utilize a model of street outreach that relies upon consistent, long-term, trusting relationships between outreach workers, a case manager, a licensed behavioral health care provider, peer specialists, Registered Nurses and people, both adult and youth, experiencing unsheltered homelessness. This contract will make contact with 6500 individuals annually through the DSOC program and will serve these households via the SOLE program.
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) will coordinate the Denver Street Outreach Collaborative (DSOC) and Strategic Outreach to Large Encampments (SOLE) initiative.
• DSOC provides outreach and engagement services, as well as intensive, housing- focused case management services, to youth and adults experiencing homelessness in Denver with a focus on those who are chronically homeless, disconnected from facility-based programming, and in encampment settings. DSOC case management services include connecting clients to OneHome and helping to collect documents needed to complete housing applications.
• DSOC/SOLE works to remove barriers to housing by including an RN and Licensed Behavioral Health Navigation to the outreach activities. These licensed health care providers enable vital services to be delivered where people are; on the street or other places of engagement.
• SOLE provides outreach to residents of specific large encampments with deployment directed by staff of the City & County of Denver. Deployment directives include engaging residents of encampments that are posted for cleanup or public health closure. The SOLE team provides initial and ongoing focused engagement, assessment and identification of service needs, and referrals to services including DSOC services.
• DSOC/SOLE will coordinate with the Department of Housing Stability’s Early Intervention Team (EIT) for coordination of care and provision of outreach services to shared clients.
• DSOC services will be provided Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and one Saturday each month, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CCH agrees to provide HOST with an on-call number to be utilized to coordinate for an outreach response in emergency situations outside of regular business hours as defined above - but still within the hours of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday/Sunday. SOLE team services will be provided Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Days of operation may be extended during cold and other weather emergencies.
• DSOC/SOLE will develop a standard protocol to be activated during isolated weather emergencies.
• DSOC and SOLE will coordinate with HOST staff for provision of same-day services within City encampment response.
• DSOC and SOLE will respond to any and all requests for outreach service within two working days. DSOC and SOLE shall retain discretion to suspend deployments to environments that have clear, present, and imminent safety risk. These risks, or any emergent incident that interferes with outreach deployment, shall be promptly communicated to HOST.
Under this contract the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless will fund the following staff positions: 50% of a Program Director, one project Manager, one Registered Nurse, one Behavioral Health Navigator, one Case Manager, one Administrative Assistant, and six Outreach workers.
