August 2019 King County Diversion Training King County Diversion
Coaches will facilitate a peer-led, two-day training on the
fundamentals, skills, and techniques of the Diversion approach. King
County has committed to fundamentally reorienting the region's
response system to lead with Diversion (in order to scale at the front
door of service for folks experiencing homelessness)--greatly
increasing our ability to shorten the length of time families and
individuals experience homelessness and reduce the harm and trauma
associated with homelessness. Details: Two-day diversion training
(You are required to attend both days in order to receive
certification and/or credits and access the King County Centralized
Diversion Fund*) for service providers, front-line, and direct service
folks. We encourage you to have been trained in Motivational
Interviewing and/or Trauma-Informed Care prior to this
training. Date: August 27 & 28 Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm (both
days)Where: The 2100 Building (2100 24th Ave S, Seattle, WA)Coffee
and lunch will be provided. Diversion Model: Diversion is an approach
that assists households in quickly securing temporary or permanent
solutions to homelessness outside of the homeless system by supporting
creative and cost-effective solutions to meet individual needs.
Diversion is a short term intervention that supports households in
identifying immediate, safe housing arrangements, often utilizing
conflict resolution and mediation skills to reconnect people to their
support systems. Diversion offers flexible, light-touch services that
may be coupled with minimal financial assistance that results in a
temporary or permanent housing arrangement outside of the homeless
system. *The Centralized Fund has been a well utilized resource since
it began in December 2018—to date, more than 300 households have
used the fund to end their experience of homelessness. We expect that
current funding will be spent by the end of July 2019. While you may
continue to access the fund until it is fully depleted, we wanted the
community to have clear expectations of the limits of its
availability. The impact of this new and unrestricted resource has
been felt throughout King County. We are exploring opportunities to
sustain the fund and will communicate if new funding becomes
available. For questions or concerns, email Zachary DeWolf at All
