What is a Tethered Technician Team Member (T3)?

A Tethered Technician’s main responsibility is to befriend and build trust with those living

on the streets in our communities and learn the appropriate tools to help when needed

and provide written documentation of the experience.

The Tether Technician (T3) is a support person in the community identifying and

providing services to individuals and families who are unsheltered homeless through

direct street

outreach activities and through reports/referrals from shelters, police, churches, human

service

providers and others. They are outgoing and friendly. The Tether Technician provides

support to the client and to the other agencies, connecting hard-to-reach clients to the

appropriate services.

The Tether Technician (T3) needs to be self-motivated, a quick study, able to work with

little supervision, good time manager, good with detail work and able to relate to a wide

variety

of clients and community resource people, and able to take direction. The T3 will also

be kind, compassionate, but will have boundaries and be able to share responsibilities

and say no when needed and appropriate.

Stay tuned as we continue to share how the T3 program is priority #1 in our “Solutions to End

Street Homelessness in Madison County, IL”
