We believe that everyone should live without fear of oppression and persecution. Whether homeless or housed, each individual has the right to be who they are and to be treated with dignity and respect.

The Crisis Intervention Specialist ensures that AHOPE is a safe place for anyone in the community. The CIS works together with case managers to ensure that clients follow posted rules and works to diffuse any potentially dangerous situations before they begin. The CIS uses observation and de‑escalation to help maintain AHOPE as a safe space for all clients. The CIS is the point of contact for emergency services and is responsible for notifying emergency services when they are required.
