Example Scenarios
Scenario 1: CBO Roundtable Convene directors from a food bank, women’s shelter, and youth nonprofit to present the integrated outreach model. Demonstrate how ECM and Street Medicine reduce ER visits and improve housing stability. Secure commitments for weekly screenings and automatic referral hand-offs.
Scenario 2: Agency Grant Collaboration Negotiate with city/county officials to embed a Behavioral Health navigator in mobile van rounds. Draft joint grant proposals for housing stipends. Establish data-sharing agreements with SAMHSA.
Scenario 3: Joint Enrollment Workshop Partner with a women’s shelter to host workshops. Present on ECM. Station CHWs and navigators in breakout rooms for Q&A. Enroll participants on-site and set up recurring monthly workshops.
Scenario 4: Co-Location Pilot with a Food Bank Place a part-time Outreach Advocate in a food distribution center. Screen clients during grocery pickups. Hand off eligible individuals to mobile intake teams. Increase Community Supports applications by 40% in one month.

Simple Benefit Framing Instead of: “We coordinate multiple programs for complex needs.” Say: “Our team becomes your single point of contact—arranging rides, connecting you with therapy, or getting groceries—so you don’t have to juggle phone calls.”
Validating & Differentiating Objection Handling If a partner says: “We already have case managers.” Reply: “I understand you have great services. What makes our liaison role unique is we bridge those services directly on the street—working side-by-side with CHWs and nurses—to ensure no one falls through the cracks.”
Success Measures
90% of Outreach Advocates meeting weekly contact and enrollment targets At least 4 new formal referral agreements established annually 75% of inter-agency collaboration goals achieved (MOUs, joint events) Quarterly improvements in conversion rates from outreach to service enrollment
