Network members meet to collaborate on and discuss service navigation gaps, repeat client needs, strategies on how to strengthen service integration as well as how to support the needs of frontline workers.
Frontline interagency coordination and collaboration getting clients to the right resources they need faster.
"The biggest strength of AN is that it is a hivemind – being able to put all of our brains and knowledge together to problem solve. Having people come together from throughout the city who are familiar with community members saves workers a great deal of time trying to track people down, as we can all collaborate to find out where someone is, who is doing what with them, etc"
