What are the main goals of the HUB model?

• A. Centralizing all services under a single agency
• B. Prioritizing police-only solutions
• C. Reducing community input in service decisions
• D. Interagency collaboration and directing services to the most appropriate human services organization available to that community

Answer: (D)

The HUB model is about connecting people to the right help by bringing together multiple service providers and coordinating their efforts. It treats community resources as a network, not a single source, and emphasizes collaboration across agencies so each case can be directed to the organization best suited to meet that person’s needs. This approach reduces duplication, speeds access, and improves outcomes because services are aligned to the local context and the individual’s situation.

That’s why the best choice emphasizes interagency collaboration and directing services to the most appropriate human services organization available in the community. The other options don’t fit because they rely on a single agency to control everything, center police-only solutions, or reduce community input, which undermines coordination and responsive service delivery.
