Safe Streets Programs
Clare’s Place
A supportive housing project for 65 chronically homeless individuals with 24/7 on-site support and security. It was developed in partnership with Catholic Housing Services as part of the Safe Streets Plan. The City sold the property upon which it sits to the CHS in 2017 in exchange for their agreement to build and operate supportive housing according to conditions outlined by the City. Openings will be filled through Coordinate Entry access by calling 2-1-1.

Treatments and Services
Beginning in 2018, the City began a unique partnership with local treatment providers to address gaps in services. The goal is to provide “treatment without delay” for individuals with substance-use disorder. Through partnerships with providers, the Diversion Center, and the Carnegie Resource Center, we have made huge strides in getting treatment without delay.
If you or someone you know needs help with substance use disorder, you can find out more information about treatment here: www.Snohomishoverdoseprevention.com
Naloxone is a drug that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. As part of the Safe Streets Plan, the City has expanded access to naloxone to certain City staff. In addition to police and fire, staff from Parks and Community Services, Transit, and the Library are trained to carry naloxone.
