Martinez Update on Homeless Outreach and Services

At its February 7 meeting, the Martinez City Council will receive a presentation on efforts of the regarding Coordinated Outreach Referral and Engagement (CORE team) services.

The report will be its Quarter 2 Update after the City of Martinez continues to partner with Contra Costa County to provide outreach services to homeless within the City of Martinez. On July 1, 2023, the program was expanded to a full-time team of two workers providing 40 hours per week of services in Martinez. The cost of the program in FY 2024 is $269,729, with $130,000 funded by a one-time allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act.

The report will also highlight that CORE management provided community outreach to 80 businesses throughout the City of Martinez while also engaging with Loaves & Fishes on a weekly basis at the request of the Martinez city council during their Q1 report out.

Meanwhile, CORE target areas that have the highest need in the city and have also bolstered coordination of services between Martinez PD and CORE. CORE successfully diverted 235 calls from Martinez PD Dispatch during Quarter 2. This has allowed Martinez Police Department to take more pressing calls while CORE addresses issues specific to unhoused needs.

According to the report:

The Martinez CORE team provided services to 100 unique (unduplicated) individuals and made 565 contacts during Quarter 2. Each person served was contacted an average of 5 times. — Full Story
