Safe Night LLC Partners with Connecticut's Continuums of Care to Implement Proactive Alliance Framework

EntSun News/11095619
MADISON, Conn. - EntSun -- Safe Night LLC announces a formal partnership with the Connecticut Balance of State (CTBOS) and the Opening Doors Fairfield County (ODFC) Continuums of Care to enhance homelessness response strategies. This initiative introduces the Proactive Alliance relationship-based framework to align social services, community service providers, law enforcement, and municipal agencies with a problem-oriented approach that prioritizes prevention.

The Proactive Alliance framework will initially be implemented in the Stamford and Waterbury communities with the long-term goal of replicating the prevention-based model in other areas of the state. The project will be executed in two distinct phases:
  • Phase 1: Research and Assessment (May – July): Safe Night will conduct stakeholder mapping and operational reviews of municipal agency responses. Central to this phase is the use of Simsi Inc.'s Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM), a diagnostic tool developed at the Rutgers Center on Public Security.
  • Phase 2: Training and Certification (August – October): Safe Night will deliver a Proactive Alliance Homeless Outreach course for police, fire, and community service providers in both cities. Graduates will receive a two-year certification and have the opportunity to earn a credentialed certification from the Rutgers University Center on Public Security (RCPS).

"This initiative is about more than just coordination; it is about providing municipal agencies with a formal relationship-based framework for sustainability," said Molly C. Mastoras, Executive Vice President of Safe Night LLC.
