Situation Table

About this Program

A Place to Call Home is implementing a rapid-response, cross-sector model designed to prevent crises before they happen—reducing overdose deaths, homelessness, and gaps in care.


Every week, professionals from healthcare, housing, law enforcement, and social services come together to identify individuals at acutely elevated risk—such as those at imminent risk of overdose, relapse, or losing housing. Together, they coordinate a pre-crisis intervention, offering support before situations turn deadly or unmanageable.

Proven Impact
50%+ reduction in crises and preventable deaths
Faster intervention for those at highest risk

How It Works

Weekly Situation Table meetings bring agencies together to identify and triage high-risk cases using a structured, four-step process that protects privacy and coordinates care. Agencies refer concerns, cases are reviewed in a de-identified way, only limited need-to-know information is shared, and partners create a coordinated action plan. The program also tracks trends through privacy-protected data to inform long-term solutions.
