Supportive Connections

Supportive Connections is the City of Ann Arbor’s social support program that provides care-centered responses to residents experiencing crisis or challenging life circumstances. The program focuses on early intervention and prevention, helping individuals and families remain safely connected to their community while reducing unnecessary involvement with law enforcement or the criminal justice system.

Grounded in person-centered and harm reduction principles, Supportive Connections offers voluntary, individualized support that meets people where they are. Through collaboration with community partners, the program connects residents experiencing behavioral health concerns, substance use challenges, or housing instability to timely resources, short-term case management, and pathways to longer-term support.
