C
A
A
C
Good
morning,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
am
getting
over
some
sickness,
so
excuse
my
cough.
I
only
have
one
update
to
share
with
you
this
morning.
I
wanted
to
give
you
just
an
update
on
the
consultant
that
will
be
joining
us
to
work
on
unsheltered
homelessness.
C
Some
of
this
has
been
in
the
news,
so
this
is
probably
a
bit
of
a
recap,
and
we've
certainly
talked
about
it
here
as
well.
But,
as
a
recap
we
have,
the
city
has
formed
a
collaborative
with
dogwood
health
trust
in
bentham
county
to
address
unsheltered
homelessness.
In
particular,
we
know
that
there's
been
an
increase
in
that
population
and
dogwood
had
offered
to
fund
a
consultancy
to
bring
some
national
expertise
to
our
community
to
help
to
help
understand,
what's
happening
there
and
help
identify
some
strategies
that
would
be
effective
in
responding.
C
So
the
city
issued
an
rfp
on
behalf
of
that
collaborative
in
february,
and
we
received
11
proposals.
We
had
a
selection
committee
of
staff
from
the
city
of
asheville,
bunking,
county
and
dogwood
health
trust
to
review
those
proposals.
We
interviewed
the
top
three
ranked
firms
and
we
selected
the
national
alliance
to
end
homelessness.
I
imagine
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
that
organization.
C
They
are
an
expert
I
keep
saying
they
are
the
best
of
the
best
across
the
country,
they're,
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
their
annual
conferences,
they're
based
in
dc,
and
are
really
just
a
thought
leader
in
our
field
across
the
country
and
have
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
our
community,
including
myself,
have
participated
in
their
events
in
the
past.
C
They
have
three
main
focus
areas
as
an
organization,
so
they
work
on
federal
policy.
They
work
on
research
and
then
they
support
local
practice
so
that
that's
their
connection
to
the
work
that
we'll
be
doing
with
them,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
work
that
they
do
in
communities
across
the
country
in
north
carolina,
they're,
currently
working
in
winston-salem
and
in
raleigh,
and
also
consulting
with
the
balance
of
state
continuum
of
care
which
covers
most
rural
areas
across
the
state.
C
The
project
lead
for
our
project
will
be
christy
schulenberg,
who
directs
their
center
for
capacity
building,
which
is
the
kind
of
arm
of
the
organization
that
does
this
technical
assistance
at
the
local
level
and
they'll
be
working
in
common
in
a
combination
of
some
in-person
site
visit
work
and
also
some
remote
work.
C
Of
course,
the
projected
timeline
for
the
project
is
june
to
december,
roughly
again
just
a
projection
at
this
point,
but
loosely
june
to
december,
and
the
project
will
happen
in
two
phases,
so
the
first
phase
will
be
a
comprehensive
needs
assessment
and
that
means
they'll
be
really
taking
a
deep
dive
into
our
data,
both
qualitative
and
quantitative.
C
So
that
that
needs
assessment
phase
will
conclude
with
a
written
report
and
a
presentation
to
the
community
and
then
the
second
phase
will
be
developing
strategies
and
recommendations
based
on
what
they
learned
in
that
first
needs
assessment
phase,
and
that
will
also
conclude
with
a
written
report
and
presentation.
C
After
next,
they
will
be
on
site
in
our
community,
for
project
planning
and
just
starting
to
get
to
know
our
community
they'll
begin
by
visiting
homeless
service
provider
locations
to
get
familiar
with
what
services
are
available
in
our
community
now
and
how
folks
are
accessing
those
and
then
we'll
also
be
working
with
them
to
to
develop
the
overall
project
plan
and
mapping
out
participation,
opportunities
for
stakeholders
across
our
community,
while
they're
here
once
we
have
that
we'll
certainly
share
that
widely
share.
C
That
back
with
you
all
and
we'll
also
have
a
project
page
on
the
city's
website,
so
that
we
can
keep
folks
updated
about
what
those
opportunities
are
and
how
to
participate
so
that
that
is
it
for
me
on
the
consultant,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
all
have
them.
C
I
think
I'll
say
two
things
about
that.
One
is
certainly
when
they're
here
the
week
of
the
sixth
and
visiting
homeless
service
providers,
they'll
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
talk
with
folks
while
they're
there,
who
are
there
to
seek
services,
but
secondly,
they
certainly
want
to
bake
that
in
throughout
the
process,
and
so
as
we're
doing
that
project
planning
with
them,
while
they're
here
the
week
of
the
sixth.
I
think
that
we'll
sort
of
formalize,
what
that
will
look
like
and
we'll
be
able
to
share
that.
C
That
is
a
really
key.
That's
certainly
a
value
that
we
have
it's
a
value
that
they
have,
but
also
you
know
this
is
we're
specifically
trying
to
address
unsheltered
homelessness
and
so
certainly
primarily
want
to
hear
from
people
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
or
have
experienced
unsheltered
homelessness
to
really
understand
what's
happening.
There.
A
F
You
good
morning,
everyone
we
really
do
want
to
say
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
join
hayek's
meeting
today
and
just
kind
of
provide
some
information
and
what
we're
seeing
in
the
schools.
As
far
as
what
homelessness
looks
like
for
us,
we
do
have
a
presentation,
and
let
me.
B
F
E
F
So
what
we
do,
even
though
we're
kind
of
in
a
unique
situation
where
we
have
two
liaisons
for
one
county
in
north
carolina
north
carolina,
shannon,
does
all
of
buncombe
county
schools.
While
I
focus
on
the
city
schools.
F
So
even
though
we
work
with
the
same
population
a
lot
of
the
time,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
students
that
will
jump
between
asheville
city
and
buncombe
county
schools.
F
We
have
to
present
our
numbers
and
our
data
as
two
separate
sets,
and
so
what
I've
done
is
I've
broken
it
down
for
asheville
city
and
I've
broken
it
down
for
buncombe
county
schools.
So
currently-
and
this
is
just
for
the
21
22
school
year-
we
have
identified
216
that
can
eventually
students
for
asheville
city
schools.
F
I
expect
that
number,
because
we
do
identify
until
the
very
last
day
which
is
june
7th.
I
expect
that
number
to
probably
go
up
another
15
to
20
for
asheville
city
schools
within
that
216
right
now,
30
of
our
students
are
identified
as
unaccompanied
homeless
youth,
and
this
is
youth
that
is
homeless
and
they're
homeless
and
saying
we
consider
them
mostly
couch
surfing
they're,
bouncing
between
families
and
friends,
homes
and
they're,
not
living
with
a
guardian
or
a
parent.
F
So
for
buncombe
county
schools,
we
have
551
and
the
same
with
shannon
I
we
expect
those
numbers
to
go
up
as
well
if
they
haven't
already
since
we
submitted
this
and
we
have
a
hundred,
she
has
103
that
are
identifies
and
accompany
homeless
use
so
total
for
our
school
year.
This
year,
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
possibly
around
800
850
homeless,
students
identified
just
in
bunking
county
alone,.
C
F
Perfect,
that's
awesome
because
I'm
not
really
that
great
at
it
so
and
also
with
asheville
city
and
buncombe
county.
We
break
them
up
differently.
F
Asheville
city
schools
has
a
pre-k
program
where,
as
buncombe
county
does
not,
and
so
I've
broken
those
up
as
shannon
as
you
can
see,
we
do
pre-k
through
fifth
middle
school
is
six
through
eight
high
school
is
ninth
through
twelfth,
and
then
we
do
birth
through
five
and
shannon
does
k
through
six
middle
seven
through
eight
highs,
nine
through
early
early
college
and
then
birth
through
five,
our
birth
through
five
comes
from
our
siblings
of
students
that
are
identified.
This
is
usually
not
include
what
head
start
would
see.
F
F
You
can
go
into
the
next
slide
so,
where
the
difference
between
mcniel
bento
for
schools
and
homeless
populations
in
the
city
and
buncombe
county,
the
difference
between
hud
definition
is
we
identified
those
that
are
doubled
up,
and
so
we
identify
families
that
have
lost
housing
either
to
financial
or
personal
that
matters
and
are
living
with
family
members,
friends
or
just
anybody
that
they
can
find
to
have
a
space
for
their
family
and
so
majority
of
our
families.
F
Of
course,
we
do
have
our
shelter
and
in
our
hotel,
motels
and
unsheltered
unsheltered
our
campsites
cars
living
situations
that
are
con
considered
living
situations
such
as
not
having
electricity
or
water.
Those
type
of
situations
as
well
would
go
under
unsheltered
and
shane.
Please
jump
in
at
any
time.
If
you
have
you
know
additional
information,
you
can
go
to
the
next.
F
We
do
this
two
separate
ways,
because
I
want
to
we
kind
of
want
to
show
the
difference
and
what
we
see
as
far
as
our
populations
go
and
what
our
race
looks,
like
our
demographics
go
for
our
families,
so
this
pools
actual
cities
race.
What
we're
seeing
right
now
and
then,
if
you'll
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
shows
buncombe
counties.
So
even
though
we
work
within
the
same
county,
we
see
two
different
totally
two
different
types
of
populations:
demographically.
F
E
Thank
you.
So
we
do
have
some
projects
and
some
things
that
have
been
happening
since
covid
began.
So
with
covid.
We
through
buncombe
county
schools,
developed
the
buncombe
county
schools,
family
resource
center,
and
so
that
is
a
center
where
our
students
and
families
can
come
to
receive
food
bags,
clothing,
diapers,
wipes
hygiene,
laundry
detergent
or
laundry
kits.
We
have
furniture,
we
have
bedding,
so
basically
any
of
those
basic
needs
that
a
student
or
family
would
need
they
can
come
to
the
center.
E
E
So
those
are
some
of
the
services
that
we
provide
and
so
jessica,
and
I
both
have
an
mou
with
the
housing
authority,
and
so
that's
been
super
helpful
for
us
when
our
families
complete
that
supportive
services
agreement,
then
that
does
with
the
family,
agrees
to
work
with
us
one
year
after
moving
into
permanent
housing
and
then
sign
that
agreement,
then
that
does
move
them
up
on
the
waiting
list.
E
E
That's
one
of
the
things
that
we
focus
our
funding
on
and
then
jessica
uses
hers
for
rent
deposit
for
utility
assistance,
federal
ids
transportation,
tutors
case
managers,
school
materials,
clothing
and
field
trips,
and
so
I
feel
like
jessica
and
I
both
have
a
great
relationship
with
a
lot
of
our
agencies
in
buncombe
county.
So
we
work
really
well
when
homeward
bound
when
we
amy
who's.
Also
on
this
call
through
trinity
place.
E
Well,
post
trinity
place
so
now,
but
worked
really
well
with
all
of
the
local
agencies
and
so
evelyn
charities
abccm.
The
thing
that,
even
through
our
buncombe
county
schools,
family
resource
center,
we
didn't
want
to
reinvent
the
wheel,
but
we
also
wanted
to.
E
We
still
refer
families
and
so
does
jessica
to
you
know,
evelyn
charities
and
to
abccm
and
all
of
those
local
agencies.
E
E
So
we
have
buncombe
county
schools,
has
a
relationship
with
vertel
hospitality.
Robert
foster
has
been
he's
been
phenomenal
to
work
with
our
homeless
families.
We
also
work
with
the
wood
springs:
suites,
that's
located
behind
home
depot
at
exit,
44.,
the
roadway
inn
and
the
red
roof
inn
at
exit
44..
Those
have
been
just
some
of
the
hotels
that
we
work
closely
with
and
they're
they're
amazing
to
work
with
the
dogwood
health
trust,
the
funds
that
we
got.
E
We
work
with
evelyn
charities,
and
so
luckily
they
invoice
us,
and
so
we
pay
them
so
they'll
pay
for
the
bill
and
then
they'll
invoice
us
so
kind
of
takes
that
education.
You
know
a
lot
of
times,
you're.
Looking
at
an
educate
educators,
you
know
we're
not
we
don't
really
do
the
housing
piece
and
so
evelyn
has
come
alongside
us
and
really
helped
us
with
that.
F
You
want
me
to
go
okay,
so
there
were
a
few
things
that
we
noticed
once
the
pandemic
head
so
me
and
shannon
both
started
our
positions,
probably
about
four
months
before
the
pandemic.
So
most
of
what
we've
known
from
this
position
and
from
our
families
has
been
throughout
the
pandemic
right
now,
we're
seeing
numbers
increasing.
F
Our
unaccompanied
homeless,
youth
numbers
are
increasing
and
I'll.
Let
shannon
touch
on
this
a
little
bit,
because
they're
definitely
increasing
exponentially
and
buncombe
county.
E
Yeah
yeah
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
more
students,
a
lot
of
the
situations
that
we
have
are
just
that
mental
health.
The
substance
use
at
home,
students
aren't
feeling
safe,
they're,
leaving
their
homes,
and
so
we've
had.
We've
got
kids
living
in
their
cars
we've.
Just
like
jessica
said
earlier:
they're
they're,
couch
surfing
we've
got
kids,
who
are
working,
full-time
jobs
going
to
school,
full-time,
having
to
pay
rent
to
their
parents
or
whatever,
and
then,
if
they're,
not
paying
that,
then
they're
getting
kicked
out.
E
So
those
are
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
seeing.
You
know
that
families
jessica
and
talked
about
that
earlier.
The
tripled
up
quadrupled
up
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
that.
So
a
lot
of
that
in
our
hispanic
communities
for
sure
we're.
Seeing
that
the
thing
with
that
tripled
quadrupled
up,
I
think
families
are
had
housing
or
had
was
renting,
but
a
lot
of
our
landlords
are
selling
those
properties.
And
so
we've
had
a
family,
a
couple
of
families
living
in
a
trailer
park
and
they
wanted
to.
E
They
told
them
they
had
to
leave
and
they're
fixing
up
the
trailer.
So
they
can
increase
the
rent
and
make
more
money
so
and
we're
seeing
that
just
like
I
know
all
of
you
are
seeing
that
as
well,
and
so
I
think
jessica
made
a
great
point
too,
and
we
were
talking
about
this
earlier
on.
You
know
through
covid,
there's
been
a
lot
of
resources
so
available
and
those
resources
are
starting
to
go
away,
and
so
our
families
are
really.
E
I
know
our
numbers
here
at
the
resource
center
we've
given
out
52,
000
pounds
of
food
and
we're
just
a
small
operation.
You
know
so
and
we're
just
servicing
buncombe
county
school
students
and
families,
and
so
that's
a
lot
for
our
one
little
operation
and
so
their
needs,
and
when
they
come
in
it's
not
just
food
that
they
need.
So
they
need
everything.
E
And
so
you
know
families
that
first
experienced
homelessness
during
the
pandemic,
just
like
jessica
said
they
were
really
hard
to
identify
and
we're
unaware
of
the
resources
available
and
we're
so
glad
they're
back
in
school
and
we're
laying
eyes
on
them
and
and
we're
able
to
you
know,
help
them
in
ways.
We've
talked
about
this
yesterday
in
a
meeting
how
we
are
educators
and
that's
really
what
our
focus
should
be
on,
but
it's
not
we're
meeting
all
of
their
needs
and
so
and
it's
difficult
it's
it's
really
difficult.
F
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
here's
what
we're
currently
seeing-
and
I
spoke
to
emily
about
some
of
this
before
and
she
so
graciously
invited
us
to
present
this
affordable
housing,
which
I
we
understand
is
across
the
board.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
our
families,
because
they
don't
meet
that
head
definition
of
chronically
homeless.
F
They
don't
really
qualify
for
programs
that
we
have
in
this
area
to
provide
them,
affordable,
housing
or
have
access
to
that
rapid
housing
program
or
those
transitional
living
programs,
which
is
why
we're
seeing
so
many
high
numbers
and
these
doubled
up
families
and
quadrupled
tripled
up
our
school
systems
are
seeing
a
mental
health
emotional
crisis,
unlike
probably
any
we've
seen
before-
and
this
is
even
more
so
true
with
our
homeless
families.
F
We
just
don't
have
the
resources
to
be
able
to
provide
the
mental
health
and
emotional
assistance
to
them
right
now,
and
so
we've
got
kiddos
and
not
only
are
they
homeless
and
living
in
these
situations,
but
we
have
them
on
waiting
list
of
12
to
16
waiting
lists
week,
waiting
list
waiting
for
services
to
address
the
mental
health.
On
top
of
everything
else,
section
8
housing
landlords
are
selling
out
from
under
our
families
due
to
due
to
the
increase
in
demand
for
housing
in
asheville
and
they're,
making
a
profit
off
of
it.
F
So
we
have
a
lot
of
families
that
have
section
8
vouchers
we
just
don't
have
anywhere
for
them
to
go
the
lack
of
community
awareness
pertaining
to
our
population.
I
know
we
know
that
asheville
is
very
aware
of
the
homeless
population,
but
we
don't
know
if
asheville
is
aware
of
what
we're
seeing
in
the
schools
as
far
as
our
families
and
children
homelessness
goes,
and
so.
This
is
why
we
continue
to
do
these
types
of
presentations
to
hopefully
bring
some
of
that
awareness
about
again
me
and
shannon
do
a
lot
of
that
housing.
F
First,
our
focus
is
kind
of
housing.
First,
you
know
because
we
can't
really
address
all
those
other
needs
until
we
find
housing
for
them
we
try
to,
but
it's
not
success
not
as
successful
when
they
don't
until
they
have
housing,
and
so
because
we're
doing
all
of
those
parts
as
well.
We
are
kind
of
losing
sight
to
that
educational
piece
that
we,
you
know,
that
should
be
our
main
focus.
F
We
would
love
to
have
an
agency
that
focuses
solely
on
homeless
families
and
youth,
so
that
we
can
say
hey.
Yes,
let
us
refer
you
to
this
agency,
something
like
homeward
bound.
You
know
like
we
have
evelyn
and
we
have
abccm
and
they're
wonderful
and
they're
so
gracious
to
us
and
to
our
families,
but
they
have
so
many
different
focuses.
F
So
that
would
be
something
great
for
our
community
at
some
point
in
time,
and
then
you
know,
the
loss
of
trendy
training
place
was
huge
for
us
and
so
eventually
to
have
another
drop-in
runaway
center
for
our
homeless,
youth
would
be
the
biggest
bomb.
E
And
jessica,
I
just
wanted
to
say
here
to
the
buncombe
county
schools
family
resource
center.
We
have
submitted
a
grant
to
the
covid
recovery
funding
through
buncombe
county,
because
we
would
love
to
have
this
resource
center
centrally
located
at
the
buncombe
county
schools
board
of
education.
So
it's
on
the
bus
line
and
it's
very
centrally
located,
but
it
would
open
the
door
for
the
work
that
we
do
with
their
families
and
especially
that
unaccompanied
youth.
So
for
us
that
would
we
would
have
laundry
facilities
shower
facilities.
E
We
would
be
able
to
do
the
tutoring
and
the
mentoring,
and
so
so
that's
one
of
the
projects
that
you
know.
We
have
written
that
grant
haven't
heard
anything
back.
So
very
hopeful
for
that,
because
I
think
that
can
make
such
a
huge
difference
in
the
lives
of
our
of
our
students
and
our
families,
while
the
work
that
we're
doing
now
will
continue
to
do
it.
And
so
we
could
just
take
all
of
the
work
that
we
do
here
and
then
just
increase
that
I
mean
just
tremendous.
E
It
would
be
a
huge
change
and
how
we
work
with
their
families,
and
so
even
jessica.
You
know
talk
talking
about
in
the
city.
I
mean
how
that
is
so
needful
too,
that
drop
in
and
even
that
runaway
losing
trinity
place
is
yeah,
so
huge
for
us
and
our
our
students,
and
so.
F
So,
that's
all
that
we
have
do
you
guys.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
for
us.
D
I
don't
have
a
question
as
much
as
just
kind
of
a
statement.
Obviously,
trinity
plays
caring
for
children.
Eckerd
has
partnered
with
mckinney-vento
liaisons
for
years
and
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
jess
and
shannon
they
have
done
such
an
incredible
job.
Bringing
the
resource
centers
to
the
city
to
the
county
is
such
a
big
thing,
and
yet
having
them
be
centrally
located
would
be
great,
but
what
you
have
done,
especially
just
the
timeliness
of
it
because
of
covid,
is
incredible.
D
So
many
families
we
have
been
referring
to
you
all,
and
it
just
means
everything.
So
once
again,
the
loss
of
trinity
place
is
even
more
imperative
that
we
have
your
services
and
you
all
just
done
an
incredible
job.
So
thank
you
still
so
much.
B
D
A
E
Yeah
we
wrote,
of
course
we
wrote
it
back
a
little
bit
earlier
in
2021
when
they
first
opened
that
up,
so
it
was
3.5
million.
So
I'm
sure
that
cost
has
increased
as
far
as
building
goes,
but
that's
what
we
initially
wrote
it
for.
G
Can
I
say
real
quickly,
I,
like
the
idea
of
an
agency
focused
on
families
experiencing
homelessness
and.
D
F
F
That
would
be
wonderful,
yeah.
Thank
you.
We
again.
Thank
you
all
so
much.
We
really
want
to
continue
doing
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
you
know
making
sure
that
our
families
have
the
opportunities
that
you
know
other
identified.
A
A
You
know
that
tripled
up
the
quadrupled
up.
Definitely
the
hotel
in
motel
stays
and
the
unaccompanied
homeless
youth
is
is
really
frightening.
I
mean
that
is
215
children.
I
mean
these
are
children.
A
Yes,
I'm
really
glad
that
david's
on
the
call
today
and
that
you
all
will
connect
and
let
us
know
as
we're
going
forward
we'll
be
in
touch
about
the
needs.
I
would
like
to
see
that
as
a
tick
list
for
us
emily
and
I
met
after
our
last
meeting
after
our
last
kayak
meeting
with
the
closing
of
trinity
place
and
amy,
I'm
so
sorry
about
that
and
moving
forward.
We
need
to
be
educated.
A
So
thank
you
all
for
the
time
and
the
effort
that
you
put
in
this
presentation
and
I'm
sure
that
it
is
old
going
around
and
presenting
these
statistics,
but
is
really
necessary.
So
you
know
if
we
can
help
share
your
message
in
any
way.
Please
let
me
emily
or
david,
you
know
as
we
go
forward.
F
Absolutely
thank
you.
I'm
going
to
put
my
email
and
comment
if
you'll
do
the
same
our
email
and
contact
information
because
I
don't
feel
like
I
will
play
on
the
presentation.
So
thank
you
again.
B
Lara,
I'm
sorry,
I
couldn't
get
a
needed
quick
enough.
I'm
sorry
I
was
late,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
providing
this
presentation
and
I'm
going
to
also
share
with
you
other
program
managers
within
health
and
human
services,
as
I
think
that
those
numbers
that
sarah
mentioned
are
really
important,
and
thank
you
for
providing
this
powerpoint
for
us
in
presentation.
A
Well,
thank
you,
jennifer.
That
would
be
really
you
know
a
great
extension
of
their
work
also
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Both.
I
would
like
to
return
back
to
item
two
on
our
agenda.
Now
that
we
do
have
a
forum,
I'm
gonna
have
a
roll
call
on
the
consent
agenda.
I
would
make
a
motion
to
adopt
the
consent
agenda,
I'll
open
the
floor
for
any
comments,
questions
or
concerns
about
those
meeting
minutes.
A
C
G
A
Yes,
thank
you
all
right.
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
agenda
item
five.
Word
groups:
I'm
actually
going
to
turn
this
over
perfect
time
for
jennifer
t
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
nominating
committee
and.
F
A
Also
like
to
take
this
time
to
acknowledge
amy
hobson's
service
to
hayak-
I
don't
know
if
you
all
know,
amy
she's
worked
with
caring
for
children
since
2009.
She
started
as
the
director
of
programs
for
10
years
and
then
she
moved
into
her
current
position
now
and
amy.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
to
hayek.
I
hope
that
we
can
rely
on
your
expertise
going
forward,
especially
with
today's
presentation.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
do
just
want
to
mention
if
this
is
a
nokia
and
sarah,
that,
even
though
trinity
plays
has
shut
down
caring
for
children
and
effort,
are
still
here
active
in
our
community
as
we
have
been
for
45
plus
years,
and
we
are
really
focusing
on
expanding
our
emergency
respite
stays.
D
So
we
are
partnering
with
blue
ridge,
pride
and
youth
outright
to
really
focus
on
our
lgbtq
plus
youth
for
those
emergency,
respite
stays
as
well
as
all
children.
So
that
really
is
our
focus
and
if
people
are
interested
in
getting
involved
in
those
emergency,
short-term
recipes
I'll
put
the
email
address
in
the
chat,
so
folks
can
kind
of
reach
out
to
us,
and
just
thank
you
all
for
all
of
the
work
that
you've
done.
A
Thank
you,
amy,
and
the
staff
member
that
presented
last
month
also
really
encouraged
a
solution
of
becoming
foster
parents,
so
this
is
directly
related
to
that.
I
would
encourage
our
committee,
as
well
as
any
neighbors
and
community
members
watching
to
please
engage
in
the
foster
care
system.
If
you
are
able
to
provide
shelter,
safe
shelter
in
space.
D
C
D
D
The
emergency
respite
stays
are
in
licensed
homes,
so
the
idea
is:
if
anybody
in
the
community
wants
to
become
a
parent,
a
foster
parent
kind
of
an
emergency
rested
parents,
that's
how
we're
terming
it
they
could
do
it
for
just
one
or
two
days,
but
they
receive
all
of
the
state
sanctioned
trainings
and
support
24-hour
supports
of
case
managers.
B
I'm
happy
to
to
do
one.
I
see
that
councilwoman
rony's
hand
is
up.
I
didn't
know
if
we
wanted
to
get
to
her.
E
B
E
You
thank
you
for
my
own
notes,
who
made
the
second
on
the
consent
agenda
in
the
minutes.
G
B
Great
so,
yes,
I'm
happy
to
give
an
update
on
the
nominations
committee,
and
I
am
our
work
group.
I'm
first
really
excited
that.
We
have
a
nominations,
work
group
and
I
really
want
to
say
thank
you
to
sarah,
emily
and
jason,
who
have
also
expressed
their
interest
and
willingness
to
serve.
B
We
had
or
have
six
open
seats
on
hayek
at
the
present
and
five
of
those
are
within
the
county
and
one
of
those
was
at
the
city.
We
have
made
a
recommendation
on
one
individual
that
we
have
sent
to
emily
forded
it
on
to
the
clerk
with
this
city.
I
believe
this
week
and
I
think
the
city
council
will
vote
on
that.
Emily.
Do
you
happen
to
know
what
date
that
vote
will
take
place?
B
I
believe
it's
june
14th.
B
Okay
and
again,
while
we
don't
make
the
official
appointment
to
this
committee,
we
are
making
recommendations
and
I
really
want
to
also
give
another
shout
out
to
emily,
who
drafted
a
document
for
us
to
send,
along
with
these
nominations,
in
relationship,
to
kind
of
why
different
people
are
being
nominated
or
recommended
for
appointment
to
this
board,
really
based
on
the
the
areas
that
we
need
representation
from,
and
so
I
appreciate
her
doing
that
and
sending
that,
along
to
the
clerk,
we
have
again
five
open
seats
with
the
county.
B
The
application
process
is
currently
open.
We
prioritized
the
areas
of
representation
that
we
needed,
and
the
committee
members
for
the
work
group
went
out
to
different
groups
in
our
community
and
asked
to
see
if
anybody
is
interested
in
applying
and
then
once
we
get
those
applications
we'll
review
those
applications,
make
recommendations
to
the
county
clerk
and
then
see
about
who
will
actually
ultimately
be
appointed
to
serve.
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
specific
questions
or
sarah,
if
you
had
any
more
details,
you'd
like
me
to
share.
A
No
thank
you.
That's
really
excellent.
I
did
want
to
tie
the
timing
of
this
for
the
community
just
with
the
consultant
that
emily
described,
I
believe
the
timing
is
going
to
be
perfect,
we'll
appoint
the
new
members
we'll
have
time
for
onboarding
in
june
when
the
consultant
starts,
and
then
our
work,
I
think,
will
really
take
off.
So
I
appreciate
the
nominating
committee
meeting
so
quickly.
They
met
a
week
and
a
half
after
our
last
kayak
meeting
and
we're
very
efficient.
A
That's
actually
with
jennifer's
leadership,
she's
being
pretty
humble,
but
giving
that
moving
was
this
acute
will
have
a
huge
impact,
and
particularly
the
recruitment
and
for
community
members
who
are
watching.
If
you
are
interested
in
the
areas
of
selection
that
the
community
actually
desired
to
have
represented
on
this
committee,
you
can
look
at
the
bylaws,
it's
very
specific
on
page
three
through
five,
we'll
go
through
the
different
areas
of
the
community
that
we
are
selecting
from.
So
thank
you
so
much
jen,
I'd
like
to
give
an
update
about
code
purple.
A
We
have
selected
the
members
for
that
and
we
will
be
meeting
in
june.
We
will.
Our
first
goal
is
to
develop
a
timeline
so
that
we
are
working
with
potential
partners
also
that
we
can
engage
philanthropy.
A
Last
year
we
started
a
little
behind
where
we
needed
to
be
so
we're
trying
to
get
ahead
of
that
this
year.
I'm
excited
we're
also
looking
for
members
of
the
finance
committee.
I
mentioned
this
at
our
last
meeting.
Most
importantly,
you
can't
have
a
conflict
of
interest.
So
if
you
currently
receive
funding
from
any
of
the
areas
that
we
manage
through
the
continuum
of
care,
you
would
be
conflicted
out.
We
will
be
meeting
to
meet
soon
to
develop
performance
standards
that
the
application
evaluations
will
be
based
on.
A
We
believe
emily
believes
that
the
rfa,
the
esg
rfa,
is
expected
in
july
and
the
continuing
care
notice
the
funding
opportunity
may
be
sooner
so
we
will
need
to
meet.
You
have
any
interest
desire
to
serve
on
the
finance
committee.
Please
let
myself
or
emily
know
and
ellie
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you
for
agenda
item
six
systems,
performance
measures
and
point
in
time
count
results.
C
Great,
I
want
to
just
really
echo
what
sarah
said
and
put
in
a
real
plug
for
finance
work
group
participation.
C
I
know
that
is
not
always
the
most
glamorous
sounding,
but
it
is
so
important
and
what
I
am
really
hoping
that
we
can
do
is
form
that
work
group
quickly
and
meet
quickly
so
that
we
can
develop
some
performance
standards,
meaning
meaning
really
craft
some
messaging
for
folks
in
our
community,
who
would
be
interested
in
applying
for
esg
or
coc
funding
about
what
the
expectations
are
of
when
you're
using
those
funds,
so
having
kind
of
baseline
performance
expectation
for
funded
partners,
hoping
to
develop
that
and
publish
that
well
in
advance
of
the
application
cycles,
so
that
prospective
applicants
can
be
really
aware
of
that
and
informed
as
they're
putting
together
their
applications.
C
So
so,
please
consider
participating
in
the
finance
worker.
C
All
right
so
last
month
we
reviewed
the
system
performance
measures
and
talked
about
looking
at
one
of
them
in
depth
monthly,
as
we
go
forward
to
really
just
sort
of
ground
ourselves
in
what
those
data
are
partly
what
the
data
are
in
our
community
right
now,
but
partly
just
what
you
know,
what
are
the
metrics
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
as
we
make
decisions
and
develop
strategies
going
forward.
C
C
C
Will
try
not
to
be
as
long
today
but
certainly
interrupt
me
at
any
point,
as
you
have
questions,
and
then
so
I'll
start
by
going
through
the
point
in
time
and
then
we'll
end
with
that
system
performance
measure
to
look
at
how
how
those
things
go
together
next
slide
overall
in
the
2022
point
in
time
count
which
was
the
end
of
january.
Of
course,
this
year
we
identified
637
people
who
were
literally
homeless
by
hud's
definition
on
that
night.
C
That
is
a
21
increase
in
the
number
of
people
who
are
homeless
compared
to
the
2021
count,
and
the
majority
of
that
increase
came
in
the
unsheltered
population
in
particular,
so
our
unsheltered
population
doubled
since
the
2021
count,
and
you
can
see
on
the
slide
that
I've
also
included
2020
data,
which
is
our
pre-pandemic
baseline.
So
you
know
because
the
count
is
always
in
january.
C
A
C
C
Has
also
increased,
I
don't
have
the
number
from
2021,
but
33
of
our
count
this
year
were
folks
who
are
chronic,
so
people
who've
been
homeless
for
at
least
12
months
and
have
a
disability
which,
just
to
me,
the
fact
that
we
have
an
increase
in
chronic
homelessness,
just
means
that
people
are
staying
homeless,
longer
that
it
is
more
difficult
for
people
to
get
out
of
homelessness
and
into
permanent
housing.
C
Our
veteran
subpopulation
was
about
24
of
the
account,
that's
a
that's
a
little
lower
than
normal.
For
us.
I
think
that
is
probably
related
to
pandemic
protocol
at
service
providers,
particularly
at
the
vrq.
I
know
they
had
significantly
fewer
folks
in
this
year's
count
than
they
typically
have
because
of
a
code
protocol
and
then
our
youth
subpopulation,
relatively
small
number
for
us,
so
29
people
identified
and
that's
4.5
percent
of
the
total
and
youth
meaning
up
to
age
25.
So,
following
that
transition
h,
youth
definition
next
slide.
C
Here,
race,
gender
and
ethnicity,
and
these
are
are
relatively
in
line
with
the
demographic
characteristics
that
we've
seen
over
the
past
several
years
in
our
community
in
the
homeless
population.
So
majority
of
folks
who
are
homeless,
who
were
counted
as
homeless
this
year
were
white.
We
certainly
still
are
seeing
an
over-representation
from
people
here,
black
or
african-american,
also
folks,
who
are
american,
indian
or
alaska
native
over
representation.
C
There,
gender
majority
of
people
in
our
community
who
are
homeless
are
male,
191
females
were
identified
and
four
people
who
are
transgender
and
then
ethnicity,
vast
majority
of
folks,
are
non-hispanic
non-latino
33
people
identified
as
hispanic
or
latino
next
slide
this
year,
as
I
think
you
know,
we,
we
added
some
additional
questions
to
the
survey
specifically
for
folks
who
were
unsheltered
so
wanting
to
to
capture
some
additional
data
in
that
population,
and
I
think
the
results
from
this
were
really
great,
really
interesting.
We
haven't
done
this.
C
We
haven't
done
this
set
of
questions
for
unsheltered
folks
in
the
past,
so
we
don't
have
any
comparative
data
and,
of
course,
participation
in
the
point
in
time.
Count
is
voluntary,
so
some
people
declined
to
answer
these
questions
or
may
have
declined
to
answer
some
of
them.
But
this
is
a,
I
think,
a
really
useful
data
set
for
us
to
look
at
next.
One.
C
So
our
first
question
was
when
you
last
had
housing.
Where
was
it?
You
know
a
lot
of
community
conversation
about
where
folks
are
coming
from,
if
they're
coming
from
out
of
the
area
or,
if
they're
becoming
homeless
in
our
community.
So
this
question
is
really
trying
to
get
at
that
when
you,
when
you
had
housing
and
lost
your
housing
and
became
homeless?
C
Where
were
you
living
is
the
objective
of
this
question
and
you
can
see
that
57
of
people
said
asheville
13
of
people
were
from
other
counties
in
western
north
carolina,
just
under
5
percent
of
people
were
elsewhere
in.
D
C
Carolina
and
then
24
of
people
were
coming
from
another
state
or
became
homeless
in
another
state
before
they
came
to
asheville.
So
excuse
me
so
majority
of
folks
who
are
who
were
unsheltered
and
responding
to
this
survey
were
coming
from
majority
from
asheville,
but
kind
of
larger
majority
from
the
region.
C
Certainly-
and
you
can
see
at
the
bottom
left
corner
there,
that
we
had
166
responses
to
this
question
so
again.
This
is
just
for
people
who
are
unsheltered,
so
our
our
total
data
set
could
have
been
232
people.
We
had
166
people
who
responded
to
this
question
so
pretty
pretty
good
response
rate
next
slide.
C
We
also
asked
what
brought
you
to
asheville
and
you'll
see
in
the
bottom
corner
there
that
we
only
had
57
responses
to
this
question.
So
this
is
our
our
least
responded
to
question
in
this
data
set
of
those
folks.
People
are
coming
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
They
had
family
and
friends.
Here,
14
of
people
had
a
just
got
stuck
here:
their
vehicle
broke
down,
they
weren't
able
to
continue
on
people
came
seeking,
resources
came
seeking,
employment
came
for
health
care,
some
people
came
because
they
like
asheville
and
then
another
category.
C
We
also
asked
what
is
the
main
reason
you
aren't
staying
at
a
shelter
right
now
and
you
can
see
kind
of
a
long
list.
There
174
responses
to
this
question,
so
I
think
this
is.
This
is
useful
data
for
us.
The
the
largest
answer
was
related
to
rules
at
shelters.
Also
too
many
people
a
sense
of
anxiety
and
shelters,
feeling
unsafe
in
shelters,
separated
from
people,
meaning
can't
stay
with
my
partner
or
my
friend
or
my
family
member
can't
have
pets.
Shelters
are
full.
C
We
also
asked
if
folks
had
had
a
coping
vaccine,
so
we
didn't
specify
you
know
how
many
shots
or
which
vaccine
or
boosters
or
any
of
that,
but
just
a
yes
or
no
have
you
had
a
covered
vaccine
and
47
percent
of
people
said
yes,
22
of
people
said
no
and
then
30
percent
of
people
we
didn't
have
a
response
for
so
this
is
for
that
full
232
people
so
close
to
half
I
want
to
just
I
I
feel
very
proud
of
that.
C
We
worked
very
hard
with
public
health
at
the
county
in
particular,
and
mayheck
was
a
really
strong
partner
mission.
Hospital
is
a
strong
partner
in
making
vaccines
available
to
people
early
on
and
really
prioritizing
the
homeless
population,
especially
the
unsheltered
population,
really
a
concerted
effort
to
put
together
some
vaccine
events.
C
In
addition
to
the
point
in
time
count,
the
other
report
that
we
share
with
hud
for
the
same
night
in
january
is
the
up.
The
housing
inventory
account
and
I'm
saying
we
share
as
in
as
if
we're
being
generous,
but
this
is
a
requirement.
So
let
me
clarify
that,
so
the
housing
inventory
count
is
a
picture
of
the
number
of
beds
available
in
our
community
by
bed
type
and
also
by
utilization
rates.
C
We
know-
I'm
sure
all
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
this.
Covet
has
had
a
really
significant
impact
on
the
shelter
inventory
in
our
community
on
all
dead
inventory,
mostly
negative,
and
some
positive,
so
shelter
capacity
has
decreased
really
substantially.
During
the
pandemic.
C
We've
had
some
programs
that
closed
entirely
some
programs
that
really
decreased
their
bed
numbers
significantly
to
allow
for
social
distancing
between
bunk
beds
and
that
kind
of
thing
and
then
shelters
implementing
a
lot
of
covet
screening
protocols
that
just
meant
that
the
inflow
into
those
programs
was
much
slower
because
of
quarantine
periods
and
the
need
to
have
a
quarantined
space
and
or
requiring
cova
testing
or
covered
vaccinations
and
and
that
being
a
challenge
for
some
folks
to
meet
so
decrease
in
shelter,
capacity
related
to
the
pandemic,
somewhat
offset
by
non-congregate
shelters.
C
So,
of
course,
the
the
red
roof
inn
in
the
beginning
and
then
the
ramada,
as
well
as
a
non-congregate
shelter
that
homer
bound,
has
been
operating
for
veterans,
so
non-congregate
shelters
have
created.
Some
additional
did
create
some
additional
capacity
during
the
night
at
the
point
in
time
count
to
somewhat
offset
the
decrease
in
other
shelter
beds.
C
We
know
that
the
acuity
of
need,
particularly
around
behavioral
health,
has
increased
and
the
other
very
positive,
contra
positive
contribution
of
kobit
on
to
our
inventory
is
that
the
cares
act.
Resources
really
prevented
a
lot
of
homelessness
and
created
new
capacity
in
housing
programs
between
cdbg
cv
and
esg
cv.
C
C
This
again
is
looking
at
pre-pandemic
mid
pandemic
and
then
the
2022
inventory
count.
So
you
can
see
in
shelter
beds
in
particular
that
we've
had
a
really
significant
decrease.
Our
shelter
capacity
has
been
cut
almost
in
half
during
the
pandemic
and
that's
across
the
community
across
the
continuum
of
care.
C
Non-Congregate
beds,
of
course,
didn't
exist,
pre
pandemic.
Here
2021
we
had
the
the
red
roof
inn
and
homeward
bound
va
program.
2022
we
had
the
armada
and
homer
bounce
ca
program
code
purple.
We
had
75
beds
in
2020,
50
beds,
operated
by
the
rescue
mission
2021
and
then
78
beds
in
2022
between
salvation
army,
avccm
and
trinity,
united
methodist
and
then
in
transitional
housing.
You
can
see
that
we
that
that
number
did
not
fluctuate
very
much
at
all
and
some
slight
changes,
but
really
stayed
pretty
steady
during
the
pandemic.
C
C
In
the
housing
inventory
count
is
utilization
of
those
beds
in
our
2022
inventory
again
we
had
560
beds
that
were
available
across
all
interventions,
so
shelter,
non-congregate,
shelter,
go
purple
and
transitional
housing
beds,
560
beds
in
existence
on
that
night.
405
of
those
were
utilized.
So
we
had
155
open
beds
on
the
night
of
the
point
in
time,
count
again
across
all
interventions.
A
Based
on
those
numbers
and
looking
at
the
past
pit
counts,
you
know,
then
the
the
definitely
the
beds
the
shelter
beds
decreasing
is
a
really
negative
impact,
but
if
we
were
to
find
any
bright
spot,
the
increase
in
rapid
rehousing
economic
modeling
really
shows
that
that's
probably
the
most
effective
intervention
of
all
homelessness
interventions
that
we
have
so
at
least
tiny
bright
spot.
In
this
report.
C
So,
overall,
again,
homelessness
has
increased
20
21
since
2021
very
clear
connection
with
in
terms
of
the
just
the
volume
and
the
severity
of
needs
and
the
inventory
available
in
our
community.
C
And
then
again
you
know,
as
I
said
earlier,
we
do
have
help
on
the
way
we
have
the
national
alliance
and
homelessness
joining
us
soon
to
really
specifically
focus
on
the
unsheltered
population,
but
but
certainly
the
unsheltered
population
is
closely
tied
to
folks
who
are
accessing
programs,
and
so
they'll
want
to
be
looking
at
our
homeless
service
system
as
a
whole
and
helping
us
understand
the
patterns
and
utilization
and
particularly
understand
the
opportunities
that
we
have
as
a
community
to
really
to
really
change
this.
To
really
decrease
the
number
of
people
experiencing
homelessness.
C
B
Emily
I
had
a
couple
questions
if
you
could
go
back
a
few
slides
I'll
try
to
figure
out
which
one
it
was.
I
had
a
question
in
regards
to
the
shelter
inventory,
so
it
was
the
inventory,
shelter
and
trained
it's
transitional
housing.
If
we
were
to
do
a
like
a
scan
today
under
the
non-congregate
line,
would
it
be
zero.
C
Probably
I
don't
know
so
so
certainly
the
armada
has
closed,
and
that
was,
I
think,
66
of
those
71
people
on
on
the
night
of
the
point
in
time
count
and
then
the
remainder
remainder
were
folks
in
a
program
through
homeward
bound,
so
homer
bound
has
had
federal,
va
funding
for
non-congregate,
shelter
for
veterans
and
and
that's
been
true
throughout
the
pandemic
and
has
kind
of
scaled
based
on
the
need
at
the
time.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
they
have
anyone
in
non-congregate
shelter
at
the
moment.
B
B
Okay,
great
thanks
and
I
have
one
other
question:
I'm
sorry,
it's
the
next
slide
the
bud
utilization
slide.
I
just
want
to
understand
that
transitional
housing.
So
I
see
the
69
open
beds.
Is
it
that
we
don't
have
people?
Is
it
that
we
don't
have
space
I'm
confused
by
that
number?
Are
you
able
to
speak
to
that.
C
It's
not
space,
so
those
are
those
are
that
is
available,
inventory
that
people
could
have
been
using
on
the
night
of
the
point
in
time.
Count
does
that
make
sense
so
across
and
and
this
is
across
all
transitional
housing-
and
you
know
all
programs
have
certain
target
populations
and
eligibility
requirements.
So
it
is
not
true
that
just
any
person
could
have
accessed
one
of
those
69
beds,
but
is
true.
D
D
G
Okay,
the
first
is
thanks
for
this
data,
emily
I
I
was
at
the
city
council
meeting
where
I
didn't
take
notes
and.
G
Some
things
are
popping
out
at
me
that,
are,
you
know
pretty
astonishing.
The
one
that
that
really
stands
out
is
that
between
2020
and
2022,
our
unsheltered
homeless
population
almost
quadrupled,
and
I
think
we
should
be
driving
that
point
home
in
conversations
and
at
the
same
time,
our
number
of
shelter
beds
was
cut
in
half
or
almost
cut
in
half.
G
And
we've
been
experiencing
that
in
a
couple
of
our
developments
in
different
ways,
we
had
people
identifying
aston
park
tower
as
a
code,
purple,
shelter
and
coming
and
sleeping
in
the
lobby
and
the
stairwells
and
everywhere
else
we
didn't
have
adequate
security,
because
our
security
contractor
couldn't
couldn't
provide
security
during
the
hours
that
we
needed
them
and
in
pesky
view
apartments.
We've
had
a
lot
of
unsheltered
homeless
folks
openly
using
intravenous
drugs
leaving
their
needles
on
the
ground
for
kids
to
tiptoe
around
going
to
school.
G
So-
and
I
don't
know
that
the
answer
to
this
is
more
shelters,
but
I
I'm
glad
to
see
the
beta
to
support
the
fact
that
this
really
has
gotten
worse
during
the
pandemic
in
a
significant
way
and
that
we
really
need
to
redouble
our
efforts
to
find
the
resources
whatever
we
determine.
They
need
to
be
and
get
people
off
the
street.
G
C
Christina,
can
you
go
back
to
that
that
same
slide
that
you're
just
at
during
jen's
question
yeah?
Thank
you
so
inventory.
I
think,
and
I'm
sorry
I
don't
have
any
of
the.
I
don't
have
the
actual
detailed
data
pulled
up,
but
I
think
inventory.
Really
it
was
it's.
It's
a
little
death
by
a
thousand
paper
cuts,
so
across
shelter
interventions
across
the
community,
most
numbers
decreased
in
terms
of
bed
capacity.
C
The
rescue
mission
was
certainly
a
big
big
part
of
that,
because
the
rescue
mission,
of
course,
is
our
largest
shelter.
So
in
normal
times,
rescue
mission
has
115
shelter
beds
in
the
2022
inventory
count
they
had
70
shelter
beds,
that's
a
really
significant
decrease,
but
also
you
know
the
homer
balance
room
in
the
end
program
closed.
C
I'd
say
yes,
and
also,
I
think,
just
the
the
operational
challenges
during
the
pandemic
were
severe
for
service
providers,
and
so
I
think,
trying
to
trying
to
manage
a
healthy
operation
healthy
being
the
operative
word.
You
know
really
trying
to
keep
their
staff
and
their
clients
healthy,
really
meant
and
following
cdc
guidance,
so
making
sure
that
beds
were
further
apart,
segregating
people
to
the
extent
possible.
C
In
terms
of
you
know,
why
do
we
have
155
open
beds?
The
best
data
I
can
point
to?
Is
that
slide
about
why
folks
are
not
staying
in
shelter,
but
I
also
would
really
expect
that
our
the
national
alliance
will
dig
into
that
and
help
us
better
understand
that
is
it
you
know:
do
we
have
opportunities
to
to
better
match
our
inventory
with
our
population?
Is
that
a
piece
of
what's
happening,
but
I
again
the
data
set
that
we
have
is
that
slide
about
why
folks
are
not
staying
in
shelter.
B
So
can
we
go
back
one
other
slide
because
I'm
thinking
about
in
relationship
yes
to
like
the
code
purple
work
group
that
was
starting,
I
think
that's
gonna,
start
meeting.
You
know
I'm
just
thinking
about
and
reflecting
on
that
the
number
of
unsheltered.
B
Potentially
will
continue
to
rise
next
year
too,
like
we're
talking
about
these
non-congregate
beds,
71
we
won't.
As
of
today,
we
don't
have
those
we
know.
Winter
will
come
again.
That
will
be
additional
people.
C
Yeah
I'd
say
potentially,
but
also
that
we
don't
we
don't
know
exactly
because
some
of
those
shelter
beds
are
starting
to
come
back
online,
so
the
red
you
know
I
mentioned
the
rescue
mission.
In
particular,
it
had
a
big
decrease
to
allow
for,
distancing
and
and
they've
been
able
to
start
increasing
those
that
are
intending
to
keep
going
in
that
direction
pandemic
is
unpredictable
and
still
with
us.
So
you
know
it's
hard
to.
C
I
think
it's
hard
to
predict
how
many
beds
shelters
will
be
able
to
bring
back,
but
in
some
of
those
shelter
beds
that
were
lost
during
the
pandemic
are
a
permanent
change.
You
know
they're
not
coming
they're
programs
that
agencies
are
not
bringing
back,
but
but
in
some
cases
that
won't
be
true,
I
I
will
say
about
code
purple.
C
We
have
really
good
data
from
this
past
year
and
I
feel
like
we
really
right
size,
the
number
of
beds
this
past
year
we
had
we
had
that
that
one
really
severe
snowstorm
in
january,
I
think,
is
the
only
night
that
that
shelters
really
filled
up
completely,
but
otherwise
we
always
had
a
shelter
bed.
A
number
of
shelter
beds
open
across
those,
but
they
were
really
well
utilized.
So
I
think
we
we
right
size
that
number
and
we'll
want
to
look
at
that
data
as
we're
planning
for
next
winter.
D
F
G
And
maple
crest
and
people
could
listen
in
and
sleeping
wherever
they
could
and
you
know
anecdotally.
We
heard
over
people
saying
that
you
know
they.
G
It
was
a
colored
purple
site
at
austin,
so
it
was
a
purple
site
with
no
no
supervision.
D
G
C
All
right
next
slide,
thank
you
and
next
slide.
Actually
so
briefly,
measure
three
in
system
performance
measures
looks
at
the
number
of
homeless
persons,
so
it
is
using
two
different
data
sets
there's
3.1
and
then
the
next
slide
is
3.2
in
3.1.
C
It
is
specifically
looking
at
point
in
time
counts
and
how
those
numbers
have
changed
over
time.
So
in
2020
we
had
547
people
identified
as
homeless
527
last
year
and
then
637
this
year,
so
we'll
we'll
certainly
be
reporting
an
increase
in
our
upcoming
in
the
next
fiscal
year
system.
Performance
measure
report
in
the
next
slide
measure-
3.2,
I
we
don't
have.
C
I
don't
have
2022
data
to
share,
but
measure
3.2
looks
at
changes
in
the
number
of
sheltered
people
who
are
homeless
based
on
hmis
data,
so
obvious
caveat
that
that
our
hmis
data
is
not
comprehensive.
We
don't
have
all
shelters
participating
in
hmis,
but
this
is
looking
at
people
who
access
those
programs
over
the
course
of
the
year
federal
fiscal
year.
Is
the
time
frame
for
this
and
is
also
deduplicating
to
account
for
people
who
stayed
in
multiple
programs
or
multiple
across
multiple
interventions?
C
So
what
this
tells
us
is
kind
of
a
baseline
sense
and
again
we
don't
have
comprehensive
data
here,
but
baseline
sense
of
the
number
of
different
people
who
experience
homelessness
over
the
course
of
the
year
and
stay
in
shelter
or
transitional
housing.
So
in
2021
we
had
close
to
a
thousand
unduplicated
people
accessing
those
services
across
the
community.
C
Yes,
okay,
all
right!
That
is
it
for
me,
questions
about
any
of
that
or
any
additional
discussion.
Certainly
we
we
are
experiencing
an
increase
in
homelessness
in
our
community.
We
have
seen
that
during
the
pandemic,
I
think
we've
certainly
seen
homelessness
become
much
more
visible,
but
it
is
helpful.
I
think,
to
have
the
data
to
to
really
support
that.
A
A
C
C
So,
while
she's
pulling
that
up,
we
have
received
some
feedback
from
hud
about
our
continuum
of
care,
application
that
was
submitted
last
fall,
and
I
I
think
that
you
all
are
familiar
with
us,
have
probably
seen
this
before.
But
what
we
do
not
get
from.
Hud
is
really
detailed
feedback
about
individual
questions
or
what
our
specific
opportunities
are
to
improve
our
scores.
What
we
do
get
is
our
total
score
for
each
category
and
we
also
get.
C
They
have
also
pulled
out
a
handful
of
questions
that
that
were
to
highlight
across
the
country
and
provided
detailed
scores
about
how
we,
how
we
answered
that
particular
question.
So
this
is
so.
These
are
not
comprehensive,
but
just
some
some
specific
questions
that
they
wanted
to
highlight
and
I'll
actually
ask
christina.
If
you
could
go
down
to
page
seven.
C
So
what
I've
shared
in
the
meeting
materials
is
everything
that
I
have
from
hud
and
I
clarified
with
them
that
we
won't
be
getting
any
additional
information,
but
page.
Seven
here
is
the
overview
and
summary
so
you'll
see
in
the
the
first
column
is
the
scoring
category
and
then
the
max
points
available
and
then
our
particular
score
per
category.
So
our
total
score
was
148.5
out
of
a
possible
173.,
and
you
can
see
in
those
categories
that
we
have
some
some
clear
opportunities.
C
So
our
biggest
opportunity
is
an
overall
continuum
of
care,
coordination
and
engagement,
and
that's
that
is
kind
of
the
spirit
of
the
work
of
the
coc.
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
strengthen
our
homeless
service
system,
develop
it
further
to
increase
its
efficiency
and
the
most
amount
of
homelessness
possible
for
multiple
populations?
C
C
So,
having
a
just
a
really
strong
process
in
place
in
our
application
process
for
continuum
of
care
funding
and
our
review
of
that
and
ranking
of
those
project
applications
in
hmis,
we
scored
seven
out
of
a
possible
11
points,
and
that
is
specifically
related
to
two
things.
So
the
hmis
expectation
in
the
application
is
that
for
each
type
of
intervention,
85
percent
of
beds
are
participating
in
hmis.
C
We
did
not
have
that
for
emergency
shelter
or
for
permanent
supportive
housing
in
emergency
shelter.
The
primary
reason
we
don't
have,
that
is
the
rescue
missions
they're
again
our
largest
emergency
shelter
and
don't
participate
in
hmis
michael
and
I
have
been
talking
about
some
opportunities
around
that
a
way
to
patch
their
data
from
the
system
that
they
use
into
hmis.
So
we're
exploring
the
the
technical
specs
of
that,
but
hoping
to
get
something
in
place
prior
to
the
next
continuum
of
care.
C
And
then
in
permanent
supportive
housing,
we
did
not
meet
that
85
threshold
because
of
hud
bash,
specifically,
so
all
of
the
other
permanent
supportive
housing
in
our
community
is
in
hmis,
and
we
had
previously
when
I
first
came
to
the
city
had
worked
out
a
system
to
to
kind
of
for
me
to
kind
of
manually
enter
that
hud
bash
data
into
hmis.
C
Right
after
that,
the
federal
government
announced
a
plan
to
create
an
import
and
export
import
opportunity
from
the
va
system,
which
is
called
homes
into
hmis.
So
this
is
at
the
federal
level
them
acknowledging
that
that's
a
that's
a
gap
that
they're
that
those
systems
are
not
able
to
communicate
with
each
other.
So
we
have
been
waiting
on
additional
guidance
for
that
that
was
supposed
to
roll
out
in
2020
fall
of
2020.
I
believe-
and
that
has
not
yet
come
to
fruition.
C
C
Point
in
time
count
we
scored
three
out
of
three:
that's
mostly
related
to
methodology
and
then
system
performance
measures.
We
did
relatively
well
so
20.5
points
out
of
23
total
available
and
then
we
all
we
did
receive
the
10
bonus
points
for
coordination
between
housing
and
health
care.
So
again,
overall,
our
score
was
148.5
out
of
a
possible
173.
D
A
You
for
your
expertise,
go
ahead.
Jen.
B
I
don't
have
any
questions.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
sharing
this
level
of
information
and
for
putting
this
out
there
and
walking
us
through
explaining
what
the
points
were
and
how
we
can
work
to
get
additional
points.
I
think
this
is
really
helpful
to
help
guide
our
work
within
this
committee.
So
I
appreciate
that.
C
Yeah-
and
I
I
am,
if
you
all
look
back
at
your-
I
think
it
was
march
meeting
materials
when
we
included
that
spreadsheet
that
really
broke
down
what
the
points
available
were
in
this.
In
this
competition,
you
can
see
in
cse
coordination
and
engagement
in
particular,
what
the
what
the
kind
of
detailed
opportunities
are.
C
What
hud
is
looking
for
us
to
be
doing
in
terms
of
coordination
within
the
continuum
of
care,
and
again
we
don't
have
more
detail
than
what
you
see
here
about
why
we
scored
a
63,
but
that
that
spreadsheet,
that
we
shared
in
march
does
give
kind
of
a
road
map
about
what
we
need
to
be
working
on.
A
And
in
connection
with
the
point
in
time
count,
you
know
you
said
the
volume
and
the
severity
of
needs
have
grown
so
in
our
planning
for
this
next
year,
as
jen
said
the
plan,
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
what
what
is
to
come.
We're
already
experiencing
the
large
volume
that
we're
having
issues
handling.
C
I
want
to
just
add
one
more
thing,
christina
if
you'll
go
down
to
the
next
page.
C
Thank
you.
So
we
got
a
separate
debrief
document.
I've
just
combined
these
into
your.
You
know,
one
in
your
meeting
materials
for
our
bonus
applications.
So
you'll
recall
that
we
mostly
had
renewals
and
then
we
had
one
bonus
application,
which
was
from
helpmate
for
expansion
of
rapid
rehousing
for
domestic
violence
survivors.
C
So
we
did
get
a
separate
debrief
document
for
that
bonus
application,
and
you
can
see
that
we,
our
total
score,
was
just
under
81
points,
so
scored
39
out
of
a
possible
50
based
on
yeah.
Thank
you
based
on,
but
it's
its
connection
to
our
continuum
of
care,
our
overall
containing
with
your
application.
So
all
of
that
data
that
we
just
walked
through
need
for
the
project
we
scored
25
out
of
25
and
then
quality
of
the
public
applicant.
We
scored
16.5
out
of
25..
C
I
talked
with
april
to
to
see
if
they
received
any
additional
information
behind
and
they
have
not.
So
I
don't
believe.
A
A
All
right,
our
last
agenda
item
is
public
comment.
We
have
any
public
comment
on
the
line
on
the
phone
before
christine
was
submitted
to
you.
A
G
A
D
A
All
right,
it's
time
for
us
to
adjourn
our
meeting
today.
Can
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
any
other
comments
or
questions.
A
Thank
you.
So
unless
you
have
any
neighbors,
I'm
going
to
assume
that
we
have
affirmative
votes
for
jeremy
today,
our
next
meeting
will
be
june,
24th
2022.
any
questions
or
concerns.
Please
contact
emily
ball
or
myself.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
Today
we
did
meet
our
forum.
Thank
you
for
members
attending
jen.
I
know
you
came
late.
David
breath
only
usually
has
court,
but
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
again
in
june.
Thank
you.
