ARNC reports roughly 300 nightly guests, 22 moved into permanent housing this quarter

Advanced Pathways and City of Aurora staff told council the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus averaged roughly 300 people per night during the quarter, with staff helping 22 individuals move into permanent housing and several others into treatment or transitional placements.

"It's just about 300, a little bit less, perhaps, each night here at the campus," Jim of Advanced Pathways said while presenting tier-by-tier census data. He reported Tier 1 averaged about 232 guests, Tier 2 about 64 and Tier 3 has been low because of construction, and that moving people into permanent housing remains a program priority.

Jim also highlighted clinical supports: an on-site provider and STRIDE clinical hours correlated with fewer emergency calls. "There was a 24% reduction in calls compared to Q1," he said, and staff estimated reductions in emergency-room usage could result in millions of dollars of avoided costs over a year. City staff noted the day center daily average per HMIS was about 234 and described referral pathways to other providers.

Council members asked for clarification on the underlying charts and call-routing sources; staff agreed to provide more detailed breakdowns outside the meeting. The presentation covered staffing increases, case management engagement and WorkBridge enrollments during the quarter.
