Systems Negotiators receive referrals from the Integrated Social Services Team and provide individualized support to the most difficult offenders adjudicated through the Downtown Community Courts. The Systems Negotiators provides a bridge that connects offenders to housing, health, education employment, food, addiction, financial and legal services. The SN project has an educational component intending to provide information to the community about the system within community courts as well as educate offenders about their legal responsibilities and rights. All participants in this pilot project are referred through the DCC probation officers and are supported to access services chosen specifically for their needs.
