Community Response Works, based in Oakland, California, operates in the civic and social sector with a focus on community crisis response. The organization develops tools and networks to support community crisis response teams (CCRTs), aiming to make crisis care more accessible by enhancing coordination, secure communication, and data analysis, and by fostering a nationwide network of teams and partner organizations. Its work targets CCRTs and related health and social service groups, addressing challenges such as dispatch, community trust, and capacity building to scale this form of care beyond traditional policing models. The goal is to route crisis calls away from law enforcement toward CCRTs, scaling impact across the United States while empowering communities and improving public safety. The company emphasizes practical product development through its Patch mobile app and the PATCH Network, which provides training, collaboration opportunities, and access to shared resources for CCRTs.
