Project Hope - Wichita, KS
In the fall of 2023, Safe Night staff conducted Proactive Alliance relationship-based approach training for staff from the Wichita Police Department and the Wichita Housing and Community Services Department in service of their collaboration called Project HOPE. Our Proactive Alliance training focused on strengthening their multidisciplinary model and their capacity to build trustful, individual relationships with partnering agencies and the community.
This training was made possible through our role in providing technical assistance to the US Department of Justice Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) grant overseen by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).

The Housing Collective -Connecticut
In May 2026, Safe Night will begin partnering with the State of Connecticut Continuums of Care to enhance its partnerships to address homelessness.

Stamford, CT
The Housing Collective, the City of Stamford, CT, and homeless community service providers partnered with Safe Night to implement the Proactive Alliance framework through a collaborative, relationship-based approach to municipal policing and community safety.
Rather than relying on the justice system to manage chronic quality-of-life challenges, this proactive model aligns cross-sector resources to address underlying vulnerabilities, streamline voluntary pathways to supportive housing and social services, and cultivate sustainable public safety rooted in shared community responsibility.
Waterbury, CT
In Waterbury, Connecticut, the Proactive Alliance framework shifts the municipal response to homelessness from reactive to collaborative, relationship-based problem-solving. By implementing systems-level coordination, the initiative enables officers and municipal partners to establish non-adversarial trust with unhoused individuals, outreach providers, local businesses, and community stakeholders. Instead of cycling vulnerable individuals through the justice system for chronic quality-of-life concerns, this model aligns cross-sector resources to address root causes, facilitate voluntary engagement with supportive services, and build sustainable public safety through collective empathy and accountability.
