Service Provider Network (SPN)

Service Provider Network (SPN) is an email group for people working on behalf of those
experiencing or at risk of homelessness in our community to network, share and seek resources for clients, and receive updates on CoC related events and opportunities.

SPN was created to be a helpful tool and resource that allows providers to connect their clients with various resources and services available within the county. Providers can use the listserv for the following:

  • Share program/agency information
  • Request and/or share available resources for clients
  • Share events that are relevant to service providers and/or clients
  • Consult peers on shared and/or complex cases
  • Search for a specific service for clients
  • Building your provider toolkit
  • Educate peers about best practices and new strategies for addressing barriers to service

Another way SPN members can network, build community, and receive/share updates and resources is through monthly SPN meetings. Invitations and updates on SPN monthly meetings are distributed to the SPN mailing list.
