Outreach Scope of Work 
 
Community Bridges, Inc. (CBI) will work collaboratively to serve West and East Valley residents 
who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. CBI will provide outreach 
and navigation services to mitigate crises, assist with diversion and connect to long-term 
preventative and chronic condition care management. The targeted outreach project will focus on 
two main service strategies: (1) CBI providing outreach to connect members to the diverse 
services in the community. CBI has a broad continuum of services that can be utilized to stabilize 
members, but we also connect members to our community partner resources. (2) CBI will work 
closely with community partners in the targeted areas to identify the service gaps. CBI will assist 
in bridging those services and to assist our partners in working with the members experiencing 
homelessness. 
 
West Valley Outreach: CBI will provide four (4 FTE) outreach navigators that will work in teams 
of two navigators. The two West Valley outreach teams will cover the West Valley communities 
that include Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Surprise, 
Tolleson, and Youngtown, with an expectation that CBI will serve a minimum of 300 members 
annually. To provide coverage 7-days a week Outreach Team #1 is scheduled for Sunday-
Wednesday from 8am – 6pm. Outreach Team #2 is scheduled Wednesday-Saturday from 8am – 
6pm. The staggered schedules allow for extended coverage seven days a week. 
East Valley Outreach: CBI will provide two (2 FTE) outreach navigators that will work together as 
one team. The two teams will cover the East Valley communities Gilbert and Apache Junction. 
CBI will serve a minimum of 150 members annually in the East Valley. The one outreach team 
will provide services Monday through Friday from 8am – 4pm. 
 
The CBI outreach supervisor will be the main point of contact for the outreach teams to identify 
and develop relationships with community partners. Additionally, for both West and East Valley 
community partners, the CBI outreach supervisor will provide on-call assistance to ensure a team 
is dispatched upon notification by community partners, local law enforcement and emergency 
personnel. Calls received after hours will be addressed by the outreach teams the following day. 
CBI will also work with community partners on accessing after hour resources. 
CBI will provide outreach and engagement into Integrated Health Care services. CBI will work 
closely with first responders in the West and East Valley cities and Police Departments to identify 
high utilizers. CBI promotes community relationships within the Criminal Justice setting and 
assists in removing barriers for people experiencing homelessness with multiple misdemeanors 
that revolve around homelessness such as trespassing, shoplifting, and disorderly conduct. When 
outreach is involved in connecting individuals experiencing homelessness it will allow for local 
Police Departments and first responders to respond to other issues in the community. 
CBI operates several programs that provide long term support for homeless individuals, both 
serious mental illness (SMI) and general mental health. Through CBI's internal referral system, 
other CBI programs receive and refers clients to programs for long term support, based on the 
best fit for the client. For example, CBI operates rapid re-housing housing and permanent 
supportive housing programs in Phoenix and Mesa for Veterans and non-Veterans. CBI’s 
Outreach Team deliver a full range of services and works with clients who are frequent users of 
the crisis system. Through internal referrals to additional CBI programs, clients can transition to 
a system of care that supports them in achieving a stable life free from homelessness.

The work of the outreach teams supports the work of first responders and helps to transform 
neighborhoods by conducting outreach in public places where homeless residents typically live. 
CBI's Outreach Navigators specifically address the emergent and life-threatening impact on an 
individual who needs treatment for their substance use addiction, other behavioral health 
emergency, or a combination of substance use and behavioral health (co-occurring disorders). 
Substance abuse and behavioral health conditions are potentially life threatening when left 
untreated, especially when compounded by the emotional and physical stress of homelessness. 
By providing early intervention, assessment and transition support, the outreach teams ensure 
that adults who need crisis care have the appropriate level of treatment in the most cost-effective 
setting. They also free up police, fire, and EMT resources to focus on public safety, and leave 
emergency rooms available to address true medical emergencies by decreasing the number of 
people waiting for behavioral health services in emergency rooms. 
CBI Navigation Outcomes: The Outreach Navigator outcomes include seven measures: 
(1) Number of adults experiencing homelessness 
(2) Number of adults experiencing homelessness contacted and engaged in case management 
process 
(3) Number of positive housing exits for those who are case managed 
(4) Number of homeless adults who achieved one or more non-housing goals 
(5) Number of adults referred to CBI mental health programs 
(6) Number of adults connected to benefits 
(7) Number of transports to CBI facility
