Recently, patrol members from West Division called their HELP team to support them with a call to service. The HELP team arrived and met Carla*, who was being asked to leave an apartment building after overstaying her welcome.
Carla had a broken ankle and when the HELP team arrived, members were able to move her, along with a wheelchair and a walker to a women’s shelter.
The HELP team was there as Carla completed her intake forms, reducing barriers to care that Carla may have otherwise faced, ensuring that she received the appropriate services with support along the way.
