Overview
MONSE deploys Coordinated Neighborhood Stabilization Responses (CNSRs) proactively in select neighborhoods and on a reactive basis following traumatic events in a neighborhood. Qualifying events, which are listed below, launch reactive stabilizations. These responses involve bringing together agency and community partners to address community-identified quality-of-life issues and mitigate residual trauma following these events.
Informed by 211, 311 and 911 data, MONSE coordinates with partner agencies and organizations to address direct and residual trauma so that each activation is specifically tailored to the needs of individual communities. The length of the stabilization may differ based on varying criteria but can last up to 45 days or longer in special instances.
The five CNSR activation criteria are: mass shootings, youth-involved shootings, police-involved shootings, major law enforcement takedowns, and rapid response situations.
As these efforts continue to grow and evolve, MONSE has emphasized tailoring each response to the respective activating incident, including altering response timelines and boundaries to meet the individual needs of the community.
