Mayor Kenney and city officials will announce a new homeless outreach strategy for Center City in response to an increased presence of street homelessness at four high volume Center City locations identified as hotspots.
Immediately following the press conference, the Office of Supportive Housing will deploy six uniformed street outreach teams to each hotspot location to transition the individuals and families they find living on the street into housing, addiction treatment, mental health counseling, and other social services.
Members of the media are invited to go out with the city’s street outreach teams as they are deployed to hotspots.
This event is not open to the public.
Dan Fox, the clinical manager of a large behavioral health center in Washington state will be joining us to share his journey into EBP work. He will also be highlighting his lessons learned and key strategies for integrating EBPs into his agency.
This presentation will include topics such as: initial buy-in, celebrating EBP successes, and hiring/supervising for EBPs.
