Offering an immediate, direct approach to service delivery, the IMPACT program meets individuals where they are – in the community, in their homes, on the street, at service events, etc. – to ensure prompt service delivery in a comfortable setting. As a key part of the initiative, IMPACT Specialists work side-by-side with law enforcement partners in satellite offices embedded within police departments – delivering critical social services to those most in need, and at times, diverting from criminal justice system involvement.

Mobile IMPACT Units

Mobile IMPACT Units are vehicles that can be dispatched, as needed, to communities throughout VOADV’s footprint in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer and Salem counties to deliver direct, immediate social services to individuals in need in coordination with local law enforcement partners. Currently, VOADV operates three Mobile IMPACT Units for regionalized coverage: Atlantic/Cape/Tri-County (covering Atlantic, Cape May, Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland), Camden County and Burlington/Mercer Counties.
