Collaboration for Crisis Support

A collaborative initiative known as the Situation Table has been established in Corvallis to address the needs of individuals in crisis. This approach gathers housing providers, police officers, and outreach workers to discuss specific cases and formulate tailored action plans that can address various needs, including housing and healthcare. The program emerged from community recommendations for better coordination among service providers, aiming to alleviate the burden on individual agencies by fostering teamwork and shared responsibility. By working together, these professionals can address urgent needs more effectively, ultimately reducing long-term workloads and improving outcomes for those in crisis.
