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. The Department values its people, creativity, quality service, integrity, open communication, collaboration, building community partnerships, mutual respect and diversity. 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.

The team coordinates their efforts and interfaces with other service agencies working with the same population(s). Collaboration is key to the success of the MET program.

The Positions

There are currently two positions available within the Human Services Department, working as members of the City’s Mobile Evaluation Team (MET).

The two positions will be cross-trained and will work collaboratively with each other to provide complementary services to the community as each position will have a different primary focus. Both positions will be supervised by the FRC Clinical Supervisor who , with the MET Sergeant, will structure training and team building opportunities for both Crisis Intervention Specialists. Both Crisis Intervention Specialists are expected to become familiar in the utilization of HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) with the ability to update data, and with Alameda County’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Community Health Record (CHR). Both Clinicians will also be trained to utilize and record pertinent data in the Human Service Department’s Electronic Data Base: My Evolv.

The Crisis intervention Specialist responding to Mental Health Crisis calls will be responsible for facilitating client connections to and assisting with appropriate placements for those needing stabilization services. This position will coordinate with ACCESS, outpatient and residential programs. Follow-up with clients and family members will also be conducted to provide on-going support and resources, as needed.

This position will work with clients who may also need a variety of medical, mental health, SUD, educational and other social services.

Assignments will be coordinated by the FRC Clinical Supervisor who will be working closely with both the Homeless Services Manager in the City Manager’s office, the FRC Clinical Supervisor focusing on Housing Navigation and Sustainability Services and the MET Sergeant in the Police Department. If there is no crisis situation, the two Crisis Intervention Specialists, or a Crisis Intervention Specialist and a Social Worker, may be deployed through Human Services to provide client outreach and follow-up services. Additionally, both Crisis Intervention Specialist(s) may also be asked to accompany a Code Enforcement Officer, or Environmental Services Specialist or member of the Fire Department to provide information and resources to homeless residents.
