After the conference call, FSS team members conduct home visits with families who are willing to receive services. The FSS team facilitates a critical incident conference call with 12 government agencies to determine previous involvement and to discuss the potential needs of the family. Once a violent incident occurs, a critical incident notification is sent to ONSE. To qualify for FSS services, the violent incident must be a homicide or a stabbing/shooting that involves a juvenile or is believed to be gang or crew related.
Qualifying individuals and their immediate families are referred to ONSE for supports and services after a violent incident occurs in the District. FSS aims to: facilitate a multi-agency approach to serve survivors and families during crisis serve as a direct link between survivors, immediate family member and government/community based services providers and ensure connections to a broad spectrum of services and supports. The mission of FSS is to coordinate the District’s emergency critical response if: a violent incident becomes a homicide and if a shooting or stabbing involves a juvenile or is believed to be gang/crew related. The Family and Survivor Support (FSS) division, formerly known as Community Stabilization Protocol, is the District’s response to community violence.
