About the Diversion Initiative

ChangeLine (the PPCoC’s lead agency) is helping to strengthen our community’s homelessness response system through a new, data-informed Diversion Initiative.

In partnership with the state of Colorado and DOLA, this initiative aims to test, study, and evaluate diversion best practices that will significantly reduce the number of people entering the homelessness response system in the Pikes Peak region. The goal is to fundamentally shift the landscape of homelessness in our community by transforming continuum of care systems, programs, and outcomes.

Diversion Initiative Training

This training is now closed.

This free, in-person training, offered over two days, is a critical component of ChangeLine’s Diversion Learning Framework and was designed to:

• Establish a shared understanding of the system-wide diversion approach, 

• Strengthen housing problem-solving techniques, 

• Build confidence in practicing diversion strategies, and 

• Support our collective effort to make measurable reductions in homelessness.

All interested parties are invited to register. Continuum of Care and community partners who provide support to people at the earliest points of engagement in the homelessness response system are highly encouraged to participate, including shelter case managers, street outreach teams, coordinated entry partners, victim advocates, housing liaisons, and housing navigators.
