Governance
The Safety Net Collaborative
In response to the Board’s Safety Net Priority, the Sonoma County Safety Net Departments (referred to as the Safety Net Collaborative) of Health Services, Human Services, Community Development Commission (housing), Probation, District Attorney, Sheriff, the Courts, Child Support Services, Public Defender, Information Systems Department and County Counsel created an innovative initiative – ACCESS Sonoma – to develop strategies to identify and coordinate services for the most vulnerable residents to improve their access to the services and programs of the safety net and to also move them through it to greater self-sufficiency and improved well-being.
Members of the Safety Net Collaborative meet monthly to discuss policy development, discharge planning, interim encampment policy; they make funding decisions, staffing decisions, cohort selections.
