EM 2021-2022 Santa Ana Homeless Street Outreach Diversion Pilot Scope of Work • Support client autonomy Continuum of Care Participation Since the inception of our work in Santa Ana in 2016 (when we were contracted to offer meals, supportive services and case management at the Courtyard in a county contract), City Net has been a full participant in the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC). City Net staff are regular participants in CoC Coordinated Entry System (CES) case conferencing meetings, data committee meetings, street outreach and engagement committee meetings, among others. In addition, City Net Chief Program Officerlessica Bruce co-chairs the COC Street Outreach Committee, and City Net Executive Vice President Matt Bates is an elected member of the CoC Board of Directors, and an appointee to the Systems, Policies and Procedures committee and is a CoC Board of Directors representative on the Commission to End Homelessness, HMIS All clients in this proposed project will be entered Into/screened through the Orange County Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and, as appropriate for prospective candidates, the Coordinated Entry System (CES). City Net staff are trained in these systems, and our written policies and procedures state their work must be coordinated through these systems. In addition to assuring that resources flow to the most vulnerable homeless individuals (through CES), these systems also provide a safeguard against duplication of services because we can see in HMIS what other services and benefits the client is receiving, as well as the agency who may be providing these services. Our case managers and housing navigators are trained to reach out to their counterparts at these other agencies to confirm provision of services, to case conference, and to clarify any questions around potential duplication. Of relevance to this proposal, in Orange County, City Net has provided assessments and intakes to thousands of clients in partnership with the county, including in the following projects: • Orange County Flood Control Channel (outreach, engagement, bridge housing) • Courtyard Transitional Center (case management, connections to housing) • HEAP/HDAP (outreach and engagement, assessments, housing) • Santa Ana Armory (shelter operations, case management) Permanent Housins Case managers link clients to the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to provide ongoing engagement, document collection, and case management services to facilitate a match to an appropriate permanent City Net — Local Field Office: 2030 E. 4th Street, Santa Ana, CA 92705
