But officials warn warmer weather could trigger a rebound, prompting continued vigilance. The city’s collaborative “Situation Table” connects people with over twenty organizations, while the Howard Center’s Street Outreach Team—funded with nearly $250K—focuses on proactive mental health support and relationship-building, reaching both housed and unhoused individuals. Police Chief Burke emphasizes tackling root causes to reduce reliance on emergency services, as the community works together to turn the tide.
