Sponsor: Homeless Network of Yakima County - Committee Meeting
Purpose: Inter-agency Resources for Individuals with Significant Behavioral Health Needs (IRIS) is a system-wide approach to ensure no one sleeps outside by assessing individuals prior to entry into the Emergency Shelter system, identifying alternative placements into housing where they will be successful, and assisting them in existing the Emergency Shelter system via individualized, multi-agency case management. This collaboration will also provide a Community of Practice for the County’s Emergency Shelters resulting in improved Community Standards and increased capacity. The assessment process will also result in data collection for outcome measurement and program evaluation
