One Collective - Proposed Scope of Services for
Elgin Casework Command Center Initiative
In the summer of 2021, One Collective co -hosted the Elgin Housing and Homelessness Summit along
with the City of Elgin. One of the outcomes of the summit was the need to identify an organization to lead
casework as it relates to the unsheltered population (target population). The goal of this proposal is to
create an initiative that will bring local service providers together by building a collaborative casework
solution that includes building and maintaining a list of shared information, forming agendas, and guiding
trustworthy discussions. Our goal is that unsheltered individuals in Elgin receive wrap -around support
from organizations that feel empowered with easily accessible information.
In the implementation phase of the Casework Command Center, the focus would be on establishing
outreach, communication, and referral processes that improve the response between all community
partners and the target population. This proposal will also coordinate housing options that will be made
available to the target population and establish clear referral processes. One Collective will provide
guidance and respond to needs of the community partners in the Casework Command Center.
Proposal Summary
• Build a digital collaborative casework workspace for all organizations in Elgin to participate
• Set agendas, bring the group together, and guide discussion for meetings starting weekly and
moving to bi-monthly and then monthly
• Manage list of information for all human services in Elgin; align and facilitate training on intake
for all participating organizations
• Ensure list accessible and editable by all human services respecting privacy, HIPAA, Domestic
Violence rules
• Managing and Updating Organizational Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)
• Work with Kane County Continuum of Care to coordinate services and funding for clients
• $16,000 from the city; $7,500 of the $23,500 needed raised through contributions from
participating organizations
Set agendas, bring the group together, and guide discussion
One Collective will be responsible to co -lead collaborative casework meetings, facilitate and guide
discussions, and develop a shared plan. Both staff members will work on bringing organizations together.
Bobby will continue to build trust with the organizations and the city. Alex will develop, manage, and
maintain the list.
Manage list of information for all human services in Elgin
One team member will combine information gathered from city sources and human services organizations
about individuals receiving care in Elgin in a centralized list with the goal of establishing an in-depth
personal case history for each individual, maintaining and updating the list regularly. This includes
tracking where persons are on the path to housing and documenting resolution of attempts for housing.
Ensure list accessible and editable by all human services
Both team members will collaborate with human services at different points of entry to ensure the list of
information is accessible and that those organizations at different points of entry can input information.
This list will include the Frequent Users of Service Engagement (FUSE).
"Buy -in" fee per organization
