2019 – 2020 Code Blue Support Services
Successful implementation of Code Blue takes the collaborative efforts of agencies and volunteers throughout the community. In addition to space and volunteers for warming center activities, we look forward to partnering with agencies for additional services ranging from basic needs (food, clothing), transportation, professional support (case management, behavioral health services, employment assistance, substance abuse treatment services etc.), and other general support. If your agency is interested in lending support to the Code Blue efforts during the 2019 – 2020 season we ask you to please complete the survey linked below to identify the services you would like to offer during the upcoming Code Blue Season
