Narrative: Due to a technical issue in which the data tracking document became unfunctional, approximately 15% of the quarter’s data was lost. The data provided here is therefore approximately 85% of the data from the first quarter of 2018.
As was reported in previous quarters, the outreach team continues to incur high demands for service in relation to the number of outreach workers available. One notable source of this demand is the walk-in period. Monday-Thursday the outreach program provides a walk-in service between 8am and 10am. Walk-in utilization remains high, with workers serving between 4 and 8 walk-ins daily on average.
A noted area of needed improvement is the accuracy of tracking the walk-in utilization numbers. The outreach team lead is working with the outreach team to implement better practices for tracking walk-ins.
The first quarter also presented challenges with establishing consistent coverages when an outreach worker is absent due to illness or vacation. One of the outreach workers experienced moderately severe medical issues during this period and required recurring periods of time off. Due to existing workloads, it proved challenging for the remaining staff to cover the service needs during those absences.
Availability of affordable housing options remains extremely low, as does the number of landlords or housing agencies willing to work with the population served. Waiting list periods at LDCHA and other providers also remain lengthy.
Several individual cases also proved to be challenging during the first quarter. Lack of income and availability of housing options in the face of severe mental health and substance use issues presented challenges with procuring safe shelter options, as well as challenges with navigating system requirements such as those for obtaining state ID.
