One Day At A Time (ODAAT) operates a specialized outreach team known as the Encampment Resolution Team (ERT) which identifies, responds to, and resolves encampments using a social services-led process. This team is responsible for engaging homeless persons face-to-face at street level who are perceived to be encamped (by City definition), determining their needs, offering services, and conducting follow-up. Specifically, the role of the ERT is to establish relationships with those in the encampments, gain an understanding of their specific needs and goals, engage and connect them with services. The ERT will work to connect individuals to available housing resources, social service supports, as well as work with stakeholders to identify and leverage additional resources as needed.

The Encampment Resolution Coordinator (ERC) is a skilled liaison level position, and very high-paced role. The ERC’s role is to provide outreach to individuals that are reported being encamped. Coordinator may also be responsible for some supervisory and administrative reporting. The overall objective of the ERT is to engage participants that meet city criteria and get them to provide information for HMIS and/or the VISPDAT so the participant is provided the full range of covered services.
