HC ARC Hotspot Initiative

The Hotspot Initiative was created to develop a Continuum of Care Model of resources. It uses Operational Data, community factors, and issues that turn into actionable plans to identify and fill in gaps. This will both connect and coordinate a multilayered response to finding solutions in a specific "hotspot" that works within a short- and long-term focus, while tying all the disparate community factors together into tangible solutions that are narrowly focused on an overall goal of Active Recovery. The Initiative is being piloted in Police District 3.
