The Department

The Human Services Department works to support a vibrant community through the creation and maintenance of services that empower individuals, strengthen families, encourage self-sufficiency, enhances neighborhoods and fosters a high quality of life.

Our staff finds their work challenging, yet rewarding, and most importantly they enjoy the chance to make a difference through public service.

The Team

The Mobile Evaluation Team (MET) is a co-responder team comprised of officers from the Fremont Police Department, Crisis Intervention Clinicians from the City of Fremont Human Services Department, and Social Workers from Washington Hospital Healthcare System. MET is a predominantly field-based team that provides comprehensive and compassionate services to Fremont’s most vulnerable populations, including community members experiencing homelessness and/ or mental illness. MET provides crisis intervention and de-escalation, guidance and encouragement, and connects community members needing assistance with local mental health and homeless service providers. MET works to support community members, engaged in services, to pursue healthy outcomes. MET provides resources to homeless encampment areas, sometimes in conjunction with City abatement activities.
