Dr. Jim O'Connell, Managing Crisis, and Advocating for Boston's Chronically Homeless Community
內容大綱
A deep sense of foreboding filled Dr. Jim O'Connell and his team at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) in October 2014. The Boston mayor's office had just announced the closure of the 64-year-old bridge that provided the only passage to the island in Boston Harbor housing the city's largest homeless shelter. It did not have a long-term contingency shelter plan in place and the city's other shelters were full. With winter fast approaching, O'Connell, who at the time had been providing health care to Boston's homeless population for over a quarter century, feared some of the city's dispossessed would die on the streets from cold. BHCHP would be hard pressed to provide them the medical care they needed. To implement his solution-reopening the Boston Night Center-O'Connell had to overcome the disinterest of BHCHP's traditional allies in the homeless service provider community, who for a number of years had been channeling their energies away from sheltering toward permanent housing solutions. The Boston Night Center's reopening helped achieve an unprecedented feat for the City of Boston: Not a single homeless person died from the elements that winter, the harshest in the city's recorded history. How did O'Connell work with stakeholders to accomplish his goal? What could he do to maintain support for the Boston Night Center and the reestablishment of homeless services on the island?
