A
All
right,
it's
nine
o'clock
called
meeting
of
the
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee
to
order
I'm,
David,
Nash
and
we'll
start
with
a
roll
call
we
have
just
before
we
do
that.
We
have
two
new
members,
one
of
whom
is
here
today
glad
to
introduce
Trisha
Killian
from
within
hospital
and
it's
the
last
doorway
has
also
been
appointed.
A
She
was
in
the
audience
last
last
month
and
she's
she's
from
via
health,
so
David
Nash,
present
Lance
Crawford,
present
David
Bartholomew
absence
Jamie
benchoff
here,
Sarah
Copley
present
Elvia
Diaz,
not
here
Rick
Freeman,
president
Claire
Hubbard,
absent
Trisha
Killian,
president
Marcus
laws
present
Dustin.
B
C
D
So
I'm
Emily
ball,
I'm
in
the
homeless
strategy,
division
at
the
city
of
Asheville-
and
you
all
know,
Charles
young,
who
is
also
in
our
division
of
data
and
compliance
specialist.
You
don't
yet
know
that
we
now
have
a
third
team
member
Debbie
Alford
just
joined
our
team
on
Monday.
You
may
know
her
from
Community
work
before
this.
She
was
at
Trinity,
Place
and
prior
to
that
was
a
rebound.
So
it's
coming
to
us
a
really
great
experience
in
our
community
and
we're
excited
to
have
her
all
right.
Thank
you.
Welcome.
A
So
we
have
the
the
minutes
of
the
November
meeting
in
front
of
us.
We
have
anybody
want
to
make
a
motion
on
that.
A
All
right,
we'll
vote
on
the
consent
agenda,
minutes
David
Nash,
yes,
Lance
Crawford,
yes,
Jamie
benshoff,
yes,
Sarah
Copley,.
G
A
Okay,
committee,
mechanics
I'm,
not
sure
if
everybody
got
it,
but
apparently
our
past
practice
of
sending
proxies
for
this
meeting
is
not
allowed
under
the
under
the
city,
boards
and
commission
rules.
So
I
would
say
we
know
that
some
people
are
going
to
be
out
of
town
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
and
certainly
we
would
encourage
you
to
send
co-worker
or
or
representative
to
the
meeting
to
to
listen
and
and
ask
any
questions
or
be
part
of
any
discussion,
but
they
will
not
be
able
to
vote
at
the
future
meetings.
A
A
Any
other
questions
about
committee,
Administration
or
anything
I
forgot
to
say,
Emily
all
right.
So
we
have
staff
from
the
clerk's
office
here
that
talk
about
public
participation
and
give
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
hybrid,
the
hybrid
option,
which
we
would
love
to
have.
H
So
if
I
could
I'm
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
background
where
we're
at
and
where
we're
going,
which
is
the
exciting
part
and
then
I'll
be
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
today.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
background
prior
to
covid
per
state
statute,
we
were
unable
to
hold
virtual
meetings
at
all.
All
meetings
were
held
in
person
with
the
state
of
emergency
that
came
with
covid.
H
We
were
given
the
option
to
hold
remote
meetings
for
obvious
reasons
and
the
city
pivoted
very
quickly
to
set
up
the
Google
Groups
and
with
public
input
as
our
platform
to
hold
these
meetings
remotely.
We
we
learned
a
lot
from
that,
especially
that
it
was
more
accessible
and
convenient
for
members
in
the
community
members
to
follow
along.
H
So
when
the
state
of
emergency
ended
by
by
the
governor
we,
the
city,
we
created
a
policy
that
would
enable
us
to
have
the
option
to
still
hold
those
remote
remote
meetings
or
in
person.
So
it's
one
or
the
other
right
now,
that's
where,
where
we
are
at
now,
where
we're
going
again,
this
is
the
exciting
part.
H
Council
and
staff
has
named
accessibility
to
these
meetings
to
be
a
priority.
Last
year
the
council
granted
arpa
money,
I,
don't
know
the
dollar
amount.
I
can't
remember
to
our
Communications
and
public
engagement
Department
to
fund
what
we're
calling
the
inclusive
and
accessible
government
project.
H
A
big
piece
of
that
is
going
to
be
hybrid
meetings,
so
where
we
are
that
with
that
with
that
the
cape,
Department
community
and
public
engagement
has
recently
hired
a
new
staff
member
who
will
be
spearheading
that
projects
so
he's
already
hitting
the
ground
running
his
name's
Logan
Smith
he's
in
the
cape
Department
and
touching
base
with
him.
He
did
tell
me,
there's
he's
you
know,
analyzing
thinking
about
a
process
and
the
equipment
to
hold
hybrid
meetings
is
you
know
already
being
thought
of,
and
we
have
the
funding
now.
So
that's
exciting.
H
So
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
the
details
of
what
that's
going
to
look
like
other
than
to
say
that
it
is
being
worked
on
and
for
for
a
more
thorough
update,
dawahitch,
who
is
the
director
of
community
and
economic
I'm?
Sorry,
community
and
public
engagement
will
be
given
an
update
to
the
council
committee.
Our
newest
Council
committee,
which
is
equity
and
engagement,
so
she'll,
be
given
a
full
update
of
where
we're
at
where
we're
going.
H
H
That
I'm,
aware
of
I
I
think
that
meeting
will
learn
more
and
if
there
is
but
but
I'm,
not
aware
of
a
timeline
right
now,
I
I
can
reinforce
that.
It
is
a
priority.
H
Prior
to
the
February
meeting,
the
so
I'm
that
Council
committee,
it
would
be
more
or
less
an
update,
as
with
all
Council
committee
meetings
there,
you
know,
you'll,
see
the
agenda
and
be
able
to
make
comment,
live
and
or
before.
So
that
would
be
an
opportunity,
but
I
anticipate.
There
will
be
more
updates
and
opportunity,
as
we
are
able
to
unroll
some
of
the
technical
aspects.
B
A
F
I
was
I
was
just
thinking
that
it
would
be
great
if
that
project
took
into
account
the
ability
to
set
up
these
meetings
wherever
it
was
convenient
for
the
board.
You
know
so
not
necessarily
needing
to
come
to
this
room,
but
to
have
equipment
on
loan
or
whatever
is
appropriate
so
that
we
could
return
to
where
we
were
holding
the
virtual
meetings
before
you
know,
so
that
we're
not
all
backed
up
by
one
location
as
everybody's
trying
to
fit
into
and.
H
H
As
you
can
see,
the
the
mics
are
being
fed
directly
to
that.
We
don't
have
that
capability
in
other
conference
room
at
this
time.
I
believe
I,
don't
want
to
get
ahead
of
myself,
but
I
believe
upfitting.
Other
rooms
is
a
part
of
that
big
project
as
well
to
allow
to
be
able
to
live
stream
in
different
places,
but
right
now
this
is
the
only
room.
F
Well,
I
had
to
do
this
for
the
Coalition
of
Asheville
neighborhoods
when
we
started
to
go
away
from
full
of
your
virtual
and
basically
you
need
some
speakers
and
microphones
that
will
cover
a
large
table,
so
people
can
be
heard
and
those
are
not
horrifyingly
expensive
if,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
group
and
how
big
the
tables
are.
Okay,
but.
F
With
the
live
stream
part,
so
I
don't
know
yeah,
we
just
we
use
zoom
and
and
we
hand
out
the
zoom
address,
rather
than
the
way
it's
done
here.
Yeah
and-
and
we
put
only-
the
members-
are
able
to
comment
during
the
zoom,
so
you
don't
run
into
the
problem
of
people
interrupting
the
flow
that
that's
software
has
the
ability
to
put
the
other
people
in
waiting
on
where
you
can
just
watch
yeah.
A
We
have
met
historically
at
the
Housing
Authority
office,
because
parking
is
easier
and
cheaper,
but
but
so
if
it's
possible
to
you
know
I
think
a
microphones
are
some,
certainly
something
we
could
look
into.
J
B
J
To
share
I
have
shared
this
with
others
at
the
city,
but
I
I
personally
believe
that
the
Cobb,
the
Council
of
government
tier,
has
one
of
the
best
hybrid
systems.
So
everybody
hasn't
checked
that
out
having
been
both
a
participant
in
the
room
and
also
on
a
virtual
platform
truly
being
able
to
hear
it
allows
for
the
camera
to
be
able
to
be
moved,
it
can
focus
in
it
can
focus
out.
I've
found
that
to
be
a
really
wonderful
system
set
up.
H
A
Our
Council
liaison
Cameron
he
just
came
in
to
entrepreneur
presence.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
So
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
annual
report,
which
is
due
to
city
council
I.
Think
on
the
21st
I
am
I,
have
prepared
a
draft
and
run
it
by
Emily
and
I'm
open
to
any
questions,
comments
or
additions
to
that
document.
A
Okay,
so
it's
not
fresh
on
anybody's
mind.
I
won't
go
through
the
whole
thing,
but
the
accomplishments
listed
are
reinvigoration
of
the
Hayak
membership,
with
renewed
and
new
membership
to
focus
on
thinking
as
a
system,
monthly
coordination
and
education
meetings
with
the
National
Alliance
and
homelessness
study,
team,
timely
and
effective
allocation
of
more
than
2.1
million
in
federal
Continuum
of
Care
and
emergency
solution.
E
K
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
make
a
point.
I
know
some
of
you
personally
and
I'm
getting
to
know
others
of
you
better.
I
know
the
important
work
you
do
in
your
organizations
in
our
community
and
I
noticed
the
intention
to
do.
K
Let's
see,
four
permanent
solutions
for
people
and
I
wondered
if
it
might
meet
the
spirit
of
this
group
to
include
with
people,
because
I'm
thinking
about
the
people
that
we
work
with
in
our
community,
who
need
to
be
at
the
table
to
have
seats
at
the
table
and
I
know
the
work
that
y'all
do
so.
I
wondered
if
that
might
better
reflect
the
work
of
this
group.
A
I
A
Yes,
Lance
Crawford,
yes,
Jamie
venchoff,.
A
Just
recommendation
we're
voting
on
the
whole
report
final
and
submit
it
to
council.
K
E
D
I,
don't
know
Kim,
do
you
know
I
know
that
it
is.
It
is
submitted
to
the
clerk's
office
to
be
provided
to
all
all
we're
all
boards
and
commissions
on
January
21st.
K
Yes
and
a
package
of
all
the
advisory
boards
documents
will
come
to
the
boards
and
commissions
level
and
then
to
the
council
level
for
review.
So
we
can
see
the
work
and
the
full
list
of
recommendations
that
are
coming
from
our
advisory
boards
is
another
way
to
have
a
touch
point
of
to
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
from
our
advisory
boards
and
reviewing
the
scope
of
the
work.
J
K
So
my
understanding
is
this
document
is
a
reflection
of
the
previous
year's
work,
so
that
would
be
included
in
the
following
Year's
work.
When
this
group
makes
recommendations,
I
do
as
liaison
to
council,
send
it
to
the
council
level.
It
has
come
to
my
attention
that
I
might
also
send
it
to
the
County
Commission
because
it
informs
their
work
as
well.
F
Have
another
comment
to
make
on
that?
We
inquired
from
the
noise
Advisory
Board
whether
the
only
time
that
we
could
make
a
recommendation
was
in
the
annual
report
and
we
were
told
by
the
clerk's
office
that
no,
we
could
make
a
recommendation
anytime.
It
passes
through
the
legal
system
and
everybody
votes
for
it.
Now
that
may
create
Upstream
headaches,
because
it's
coming
in
out
of
the
time
that
everything's
being
prioritized,
but
that's
how
we're
operating
in
that
board.
F
We
have
some
things,
we're
done
with
and
have
strong
recommendations,
and
we
have
some
things
that
were
in
the
middle
of
and
we
won't
have
recommendations
until
the
spring
and
so
we're
writing
up
the
recommendations
and
Advising
that
other
things
are
in
progress
and
those
recommendations
will
come
later.
So
that's.
K
Exactly
right
so,
each
month
that
you
have
a
public
meeting,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
make
recommendations
to
the
council
and
commission.
Those
recommendations
would
go
directly,
usually
in
the
form
of
agenda
or
staff.
For
me,
as
your
liaison,
this
is
not
an
established
system,
but
it's
a
personal
practice
that,
when
you
make
recommendations
instead
of
waiting
until
the
next
month's
agenda,
just
to
go
ahead
and
send
them
forward
to
the
council,
and
now
that
you're
going
to
be
adding
that
to
the
commission
as
well.
K
A
K
About
the
retreat,
so
right
now
addressing
homelessness
is
a
top
six
priority
of
council
and
that
that
came
out
of
our
last
budget
Retreat.
It
informs
our
budget
plans
and
policies
and
where
it's
sort
of
like
a
internal
legislative
agenda,
whether
or
not
it
will
continue
to
stay
we'll
be
part
of
the
budget
Retreat.
K
A
A
All
right,
we
have
a
voter
that
approved
the
annual
report
with
additions
mentioned
and
I
think
we're
ready
for
a
report
on
the
point
in
time.
Count.
D
So
you
all
have
a
memo
in
your
meeting
materials
about
the
point
in
time,
count
and
I'll,
just
briefly
review
kind
of
the
highlights
of
that
and
then
happy
to
have
any
discussion
or
answer
any
questions,
as
hopefully,
you
all
know
and
as
I
think,
a
lot
of
folks
in
our
community
know.
The
point
in
time
count
is
an
annual
event
in
our
community.
This
is
a
federal
requirement
for
every
Continuum
of
Care
to
conduct
account
once
a
year
at
the
end
of
January.
D
The
federal
requirement
is
that
the
account
occurs
within
the
last
10
days
in
January
in
our
community.
Historically,
we've
done
that
the
last
Wednesday
of
the
month
last
year
we
moved
that
to
Tuesday
so
that
we
could
connect
with
Folks
at
Haywood
Street,
since
that
happens
every
Wednesday
and
is
such
a
large
Gathering
of
people
who
are
unsheltered
in
particular.
So
we
will
do
that
again
this
year,
so
that
means
the
count
will
be
January
31st
this
year.
D
The
the
purpose
of
the
count,
the
count,
has
a
number
of
purposes
and
also
a
number
of
limitations,
first
of
all
federal
requirement,
and
secondly,
the
federal
government
uses
that
information
to
report
to
Congress
on
progress
being
made
across
the
country
in
the
work
of
ending
homelessness.
That's
aggregated
with
other
communities
helps
helps
the
federal
government
and
policy
makers
understand
Trends
in
population
change
year
after
year
and
provides
that
same
information
for
us
locally
so
that
we
understand
in
our
community.
Are
we
making
progress?
Are
we
not?
What
are
the?
D
D
The
account
works
as
a
single
night
census,
where
we
aim
to
connect
with
as
many
people
as
possible
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
on
that
one
night.
That
has
very
obvious
limitations.
So
certainly
it
is
not
possible
that
we
will
identify
every
single
person
who
is
unsheltered
in
our
community,
but
we
will
do
our
level
best.
We
have
a
strong
volunteer
effort,
going
volunteer
recruitment
effort
going
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
in
general
the
work
is
to
connect
with
folks
who
are
in
shelters
and
transitional
housing.
D
If
those
programs
are
already
participating
in
hmis,
our
homeless
management
information
system,
we're
able
to
pull
that
data
directly.
No
additional
efforts
happen
there.
If
those
programs
are
not
participating
in
hmis,
then
we
ask
staff
and
volunteers
to
work
with
folks
there
to
complete
paper
survey
forms
for
the
unsheltered
count.
We
we
look
to
service
providers
into
our
community
to
volunteer
for
that
effort,
would
welcome
all
of
you
to
participate
in
this
this
year.
I
know
we
have
some
committee
members
who
are
already
signed
up
to
do
that.
D
So
we,
the
our
volunteer
effort,
is
to
develop
teams
of
volunteers
who
are
assigned
a
particular
geography
in
our
community,
and
we
all
leave
on
the
same
night.
That'll
be
the
night
of
January
31st.
We
will
gather
at
Haywood
Street
for
the
unsheltered
count.
Get
our
teams
together
send
teams
out
from
that
location
to
their
specific
geography
where
they
will
just
seek
to
Canvas
folks
who
may
be
experiencing
homelessness
in
that
area.
D
Ask
them
to
participate
in
a
survey
to
collect
that
data,
so
the
hmis
data,
the
sheltered
and
transitional
housing
data
and
the
unshiltered
data
will
all
come
back
to
our
team,
where
we
will
I'm
saying
we,
but
I
I
mostly
mean
Charles
right
now,
where
we
will
compile
that
data
and
work
through
our
homeless
management
information
system
to
be
sure
that
we
de-duplicate.
So
if
we
have
folks
who
were
surveyed
multiple
times,
we
want
to
be
sure
to
to
de-duplicate
that
that
will
also
help
us
understand
kind
of
big
picture.
D
But
for
me
it
is
our
most
complete
data
set
in
the
community
because
we
don't
yet
have
full
hmis
participation
across
all
of
our
programs,
and
so
we
are
I
think
we
do
have
a
very
thorough
methodology
in
the
point
in
time
count
because
we
are
doing
this
year
after
year.
It
does
give
us
comprehensive
data
about
our
homeless
population.
For
that
single
night
we
will
follow.
I
will
follow
up
with
an
email
to
you
all
with
the
volunteer
registration
link.
D
D
So
we
will
of
course
complete
the
count
on
the
31st
the
day
after,
at
both
a
hope
and
Haywood.
Street.
We'll
also
be
surveying
folks
to
ask
where
they
slept
the
night
before
to
be
sure
that
that
we're
able
to
connect
with
as
many
people
as
possible
and
then
past
that
point,
we
will
work
to
to
collate
all
that
data
enter
all
of
that
into
hmis.
D
I
can't
overstate
what
a
laborious
process
that
is,
and
also
we
will
be
waiting
for
HUD,
to
release
some
additional
guidance
for
us
about
hmis
parameters
and
about
how
we're
able
to
report
that
to
them
there's
a
particular
submission
window
that
they
will
open,
so
we're
not
able
to
submit
that
to
them
until
they
open
that
we
don't
have
those
dates
from
them
yet,
and
that
will
also
provide
a
deadline
for
communities
to
submit
that
data.
Typically,
that
is
in
the
spring.
D
G
B
G
D
Yeah,
that's
that's
great
input.
I!
Think
that's
great
for
I!
Don't
know
if
you
want
to
speak
to
that,
but
I
think
part
of
what
we
want
to
do
in
training
with
volunteers
and
folks
who
are
conducting.
The
count
is
provide
that
exact
kind
of
input
so
that
people
are
able
to
really
communicate
with
folks
about
what
the
count
is
and
what
you
know
what
the
purpose
is.
I
I
would
only
add
to
that
I
think,
just
through
the
process,
with
the
training
that's
going
on
letting
letting
anybody
who
is
going
to
participate
know
what
type
of
verb
is
to
use
to
ease
that
type
of
process
and
to
allow
people
to
feel
more
open
and
talking
about
what
their
experience
is
and
then
I
would
also
want
to
ask.
D
Absolutely
I'll
also
say
that
for
the
most
part,
the
questions
in
the
survey
are
prescriptive:
we're
not
able
to
make
changes
to
those
at
the
local
level
and
they're,
mostly
demographic
information,
household
characteristics,
length
of
time
homeless.
D
We
did
last
year
add
some
some
questions
for
the
unsheltered
count,
in
particular
to
try
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
who's,
unsheltered
and-
and
why
and
so
we'll
replicate
that
this
year
last
year,
because
that
was
our
first
year
that
gives
us
some
baseline
data.
So
then
we
can
understand
how
or
whether
that
may
have
changed
in
the
past
year.
But
yes,
I'll
be
glad
to
send
those
questions.
Thank
you.
F
I
I
have
a
question:
I,
don't
even
know
if
it's
an
appropriate
question
or
not.
So
please
forgive
me
since
it's
so
difficult
to
survey
the
unsheltered
population.
Is
there
any
public
Outreach
to
say,
hey
I,
see
a
camp
here
or
you
know,
there's
a
tent
there
or
anything
like
that's
to
help
the
geographic
folks
is
that
even
an
appropriate
public
request
I
mean
because
because
people
are
everywhere
right
so
would
that
help
or
would
that
just
confuse
things
if
even
if
it
was
anonymous
to
help
find
the
location
for
the
unsheltered.
I
F
So
if,
if
I
could
get
language
that
was
appropriate,
I
I
could
use
the
Coalition
of
Asheville
neighborhood's
email
list
to
just
give
people
heads
up
that.
The
point
in
time
count
is
coming,
use
the
content,
that's
here,
to
tell
them
how
important
that
is
to
making
the
right
decisions
and
and
finding
people
and
if
there's
just
an
email
or
phone
number,
whatever
you
guys
think
is
best.
We
could
get
it
out
that
way,
and
maybe
cape
would
also
do
some
public
notification.
F
You
know
because
I
what
I've
seen
from
trying
to
communicate
what's
going
on
the
average
person,
the
public
doesn't
even
understand
that
there
is
a
thing
called
the
point
in
time
count
and
they
don't
know
what
it
means
and
they
don't
consume
it.
So
rumors
that
are
unsubstantiated
about
the
population
and
all
that
stuff
just
continues
to
run
around
in
the
in
the
outside.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
educate
would
be
great.
B
C
D
A
So
I'm
not
sure
about
about
the
about
Cape,
sending
that
out
as
sort
of
a
broadcast
to
every
citizen
of
Asheville
but
I
think
in
our
networks.
If
we
hear
of
a
particular
location,
it
seems
like
it
would
be
appropriate
to
send
it
to
Marcus
and
make
sure
that
he's
aware
that
that's
a
place
that
could
be
checked.
A
Okay
to
Emily
I
also,
you
have
a
question.
L
Yeah
well
more
of
a
statement
so
I
think
in
the
past,
in
in
in
doing
this
in
the
past,
we've
had
better
counts
when
it's
code
purple,
because
it
you
know,
forces
more
people
to
come
into
shelter,
the
weather
and
that
sort
of
thing.
L
I
can't
see
the
forecast
at
this
point
that
far
in
advance,
but
if
on
the
31st,
if
it
doesn't
fall,
the
weather
in
the
parameters
of
you
know
what
we
would
normally
do
for
code
purple
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
we
go
ahead
and
call
code
purple
anyway
and
have
more
people
come
into
shelter
and
that
way
it
makes
a
count
a
lot
better,
because
they're
coming
to
US
versus
us,
you
know
having
to
go
out
and
find
them.
That's.
D
D
I
think
we,
if
it
does
play
out
that
way,
I
think
we'd
want
to
be
mindful
that
if
it
had
not
been
code
purple,
probably
those
are
folks
who
would
be
unsheltered
so
could
could
skew
our
unsheltered
count.
Does
that
make
sense
so
a
thing
to
for
us
to
consider
in
the
it.
L
A
Yeah
thanks
abccm
for
all
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
around
and
the
code
purple
Committee,
of
course,
but
yes,
all
right
can
we
move
on
code
purple.
We
had
a
second
round
of
funding.
A
There
is
a
document
in
your
packets.
We
had
just
under
ten
thousand
dollars
remaining
to
award
in
the
second
round,
and
you
authorized
the
the
finance
committee
to
make
the
decision
or
the
finance
work
group
excuse
me.
We
made
the
decision
to
distribute
all
of
that
to
abccm
because
of
the
way
they've
stepped
up
this
year
to
to
provide
the
service.
B
J
A
That's
the
amount
that
was
not
awarded
because
Salvation
Army
had
originally
made
a
request
and
then
decided
that
they
could
proceed.
So
we
had
two
requests,
one
from
abccm
and
one
from
Jubilee
I.
Don't
think
we
were
particularly
opposed
to
the
initiative
at
Jubilee,
but
it
didn't
seem
like
it
was
ready
to
go
this
year
in
terms
of
having
other
funding
and
stuff
that
would
be
needed,
and
so
we
awarded
it
to
abcc.
J
D
A
I
D
The
shelter
at
Jubilee
was
started
by
two
women
who
were
really
involved
in
the
shelter
at
Trinity
last
winter,
and
when
that
Trinity
shelter
closed
in
March,
they
had
a
handful
of
women
who
they
wanted
to
continue
to
provide
shelter
for
so
they've,
been
operating
that
shelter
at
Jubilee
since
April
of
last
year
and
had
had
intended
to
sort
of
wind
down
by
the
Fall
with
the
people.
D
You
know,
as
people
were
moving
out
of
the
shelter
but
then
elected
to
stay
open
for
the
winter,
just
to
be
responsive
to
the
community,
need
okay,
thank
you
and
I'll
just
say
for
you
all
and
for
the
community
that
all
three
winter
shelters
so
also
Costello
house
are
nightly,
as
opposed
to
dependent
on
the
weather,
like
code
purple
and
also
our
referral.
Only
so
for
all
three
of
these
locations
is,
there
are
not
shelters
that
folks
can
you
know
get
into
day
of
just
by
walking
in
so
all
three
are
referral
only.
D
M
Though,
all
right
is
that
even
better
I'm
trying
to
project.
M
J
A
M
M
M
Just
get
started
just
brief
introduction
that
you've
seen
this
live
multiple
times
the
alliances,
the
capacity
building
team
that
myself.
M
Just
quickly
we're
at
this
time,
I
always
want
to
tie
everything
to
the
what
makes
it
effective
and
efficient
an
equitable
Hardware
system.
That
is
the
nature
of
the
report
that
we
created.
That's
going
to
be.
You
know
the
nature
of
the
recommendations
to
ensuring
folks,
you
know
how
quickly
as
possible,
within
Asheville,
but
the
founded
COC
in
diversity
of
one
safe
and
inappropriate
to
Alternative
housing.
M
You
have
locations,
so
that's
kind
of
a
focus
of
just
like
the
basic
premise
of
kind
of
where
we
work
towards
to
try
to
create
an
effective,
efficient,
Equitable
system
parts
of
that
affected.
Some
of
the
effective
system
is
of
deep
belief
in
housing
service
right
having
Congress
prevention
and
diversion
targeted
in.
M
Services
being
available
quick
returns
to
housing
with
power,
rang
PSA,
transitional
housing
and
military
housing
and
other
mainstream
housing
options,
so
all
of
this
is
done
with
the
rich
quickly
wins
to
through
a
coordinated
entry
system
that
includes
the
access
assessment
will
follow
in
sorry,
prioritization
of
referral,
so
those
four
key
components
of
accordion
entries
that
need
to
be
in
place
in
order
for
these
things
to
work
in
a
systemically
what
they
should
also
having
data
and
being
able
to
use
that
to
make
data
driven
decisions
to
see
what's
working.
M
Homelessness,
it's
not
just
about
you,
know
eligibility
as.
B
M
Like
Ami,
it's
about
you
know
what
are
some
of
the.
What
are
some
of
your
past
history
of
homelessness,
because
we
know
that
we,
if
we
provide
prevention
to
every
single
person,
who's
eligible
as
close
to
eviction,
prevention
and
not
homeless,
prevention,
home
interventions
and
diversion
should
be
at
the
front
door,
even
though
the
housing
Focus
pops
on
the
key
part
of
the
version
should
be
should
be
part
of
your
luck
with
the
higher
voltage
response
system.
M
M
The
duties
of
the
COC
and
just
to
go
over
it
just
again,
I'll
tell
you
why
when
I
do
the
update?
So
what
these
are?
These
are
the
core
principles
that
are
that
HUD
mandates
for
cocs
to
do
right,
so
we
have
to
adopt
the
real
processes
to
select
the
board
and
Dr
Governor's
Charter
code
meetings,
at
least
semi-annually
invitement
members,
probably
appoint
committee
subcommitting
work
groups.
M
We
need
all
efforts
through
racial
Equity
lands,
evaluate
clcbnc
projects,
establish
written
standards
for
providing
assistance,
establish
systemic
assistant
performance
goals
and
incentives,
incentivized
performance
reality
dates
and
high
performing
providers
prepare
for
federal
funding
applications
instead
of
priorities
and
establish,
operate
and
continually
improve
coordinating
entry
using
data
coordinated
entry
system
resource
to
address
the
needs
of
the
system
right
of
being
default
experiencing
homelessness.
M
A
part
of
this
should
be
included
ensuring
that
the
adequate
representation
in
the
COC
in
the
COC
Board
of
folks
who
live
in
experience,
you
know
staying
away
from
tokenism,
which
is
you
know
like
one.
What
have
you
like
one
individual
and
the
person
who
is
the
same
power
as
some
of
the
other
other
board
members?
So
I'm
just
I'm
bringing
this
up
and
I'll
tell
you
why
in
a
second?
M
So
let's
just
focus
on
you
know
the
other
one
of
the
other
functions
of
the
CLC
is
is
choosing
hmrs
and
she
was
an
organization
to
navigate,
manage
the
hmos
and
then
CLC
planning,
coordinated
housing
and
services
that
meets
the
needs
of
the
most
experience
of
homelessness
conduct.
Annual
gaps.
M
Analysis
provide
information
requirements
required
to
complete
Consolidated
employment,
consult
with
ESU
recip
clothes,
so
this
is
just
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
I
know
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
on
the
slide,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
highlighting
these
big
picture
roles
of
the
COC.
So
so
why
am
I
doing
that?
Also
I'm?
M
Sorry,
a
design
operators
process
established
priorities
for
funding
projects
in
the
area,
so
these
are
all
crucial
to
ensuring
that
there's
an
organized
and
coordinated
effort
to
utilize
any
available
funding
to
set
to
set
the
designated
system,
expectations
of
care,
standards
of
care
and
Community.
M
All
far
under
that
COC
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
going
to
recommend,
is
you
know
that
this
this
gets
fleshed
out?
A
little
bit
more
and
actually
the
board
becomes
outside
of
the
city
of
under
the
city
and
county.
M
We'll
talk
more
about
that
at
our
20
I'll,
be
here
on
the
26th,
but
we
really
want
the
board
to
be
the
focal
place
where
these
decisions
are
made
right,
where,
where
this
process
happens,
and
that's
not
all
through
the
the
executive,
I
think
through
the
subcommittees
that
is
established,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
report
has
been
finished.
M
We're
doing
you
know,
there's
a
few
edits
here
and
there
that
we'll
have
it
will
be
published
on
the
20th.
We
encourage
you
to
please,
please
read
it
as
much
as
you
can.
M
We
again,
the
COC
board
will
be
available
in
these
recommendations
moving
forward,
just
because
I
really
don't
provide
a
clear
role
of
all
folks
involved
include.
Where
should
the
decisions
being
made
stem
from,
we
will
have
an
impressed
to
meeting
in-person
meeting
with
city
and
county
on
January
25th.
We
encourage
you
to
make
that
if
you
can
I'm
sure
Emily
can
provide
you
all
with
the
the
details.
M
If
you
guys
don't
have
that
already,
and
it
is
an
in-person
meeting
which
is
going
to
be
more
of
like
a
retreat,
but
we're
going
to
do
a
deeper
dive
in
the
report
and
just
really
kind
of
flesh
out
next
steps
and
we'll
be
there
as
long
as
myself
to
just
talk
through
what
some
of
these
things
and
be
all
about.
M
If
you
ought
to
ask
us
questions
and
so
yeah
I
think
we'll
we'll
try
our
best
to
make
it
as
interactive
as
possible
and
really
just
think
through
any
things
that
any
questions
and
and
thoughts
that
come
up
specifically
related
to
the
report
and-
and
you
know
you
all
as
well
so
we're
excited
and
really
one
of
the
things
we're
really
excited
about
is.
Is
these
recommendations
moving
forward
and
for
some
of
the
folks
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
in
Asheville?
M
Welcome
County
CLC,
both
astral
welcome
CLC
that
there
will
be
some
some
system
in
place
to
meet
their
media
needs
to.
M
G
M
B
D
G
Hi
I'm,
Jamie
and
I'm.
Barely
new
to
this
I
bring
lived
experience.
What
is
your
relationship
with
the
ARP
funds
and
the
upcoming
Baker
Tilly
meeting.
D
And
Josh
for
your
context
and
actually
let
me
sidebar
a
minute
and
then
have
him
answer
your
question.
The
funding
that
Jamie's
referencing
is
the
home
art
funding,
which
is
home
funding
coming
through
the
American
Rescue
plan
at
it's
about
4.7
million
dollars.
That's
coming
to
our
four
County
Home
Consortium
area,
which
is
Madison,
Buncombe,
Henderson
and
Transylvania.
D
It
is
home,
is
an
annual
HUD
funding
source
for
affordable
housing
and
rental
assistance.
This
particular
pot
of
Home
funding
is
dedicated
to
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
or
fleeing
domestic
violence.
So
we
have
a
unique
opportunity-
and
this
is
a
large
infusion
of
funding
for
that
four
County
region.
Baker
Tilly,
has
been
contracted
to
help
facilitate
the
planning
process
to
submit
our
consortium's
allocation
plan
to
HUD.
D
So
the
first
step
is
that
as
a
Four
County
region,
we
identify
what
the
priorities
are
of
the
eligible
activities
and
then
submit
that
to
HUD
for
approval.
That's
well
in
advance
of
any
actual
project
applications
or
funding
decisions,
just
sort
of
phase
one
priorities
for
that
area.
You
all,
as
committee
members,
should
have
received
an
invitation
to
a
focus
group
to
gather
some
of
that
input.
Those
will
be
happening
across
those
four
counties
to
put
together
that
allocation
plan.
So
Josh,
that's
that's
Jamie's
question.
M
So
I'm
gonna
be
playing
any
part
as
far
as
how
that
is
infused
locally
I
do
hope
that
they
offer
some
of
our
recommendations
which
do
fall
under
the
eligible
eligible
cost
of
about
eight
most
home
AARP
will
be
will
be
utilized,
because
these
are
most
of
all.
These
funds
are
like
going
to
be
once
a
once
in
a
lifetime
type
fund
that
we
hope
that
are
used
to
you
know
use
address
systemic
issues.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
retreat
for
this
committee
will
be
a
public
meeting
at
the
Harris
Cherokee
Center
banquet
room,
correct.
A
What
we
want
to
advance
forward
to
the
city
and
county
and
what
we
want
to
take
on
ourselves.
As
far
as
those
things
are
concerned,
I
don't
know
if
it'll
some
of
that
may
inform
the
Hallmark
input
as
well
as
Josh
just
says,
so
we
hope
everybody
who's
on
the
committee
can
be
there
and
anybody
else
in
the
community.
Who's
interested
is
welcome
as
well.
B
A
F
D
I
would
anticipate
that
you
would
not
be
voting
on
that
day
based
on
the
need
to
publish
those
meeting
materials
in
advance
and
provide
public
comment.
Opportunity
on
any
action
to
be
taken,
but
I
would
I
would
anticipate
that
you
would
be
again
hearing
and
understanding
the
results
from
the
alliance
and
then
maybe
making
a
plan
to
make
a
plan.
D
No
so
Anna
Ann,
who
is
the
CEO
of
the
National
Alliance
and
homelessness
and
Josh,
will
both
be
here
in
person
for
the
25th
and
26th
and
we'll
be
facilitating
that
retreat.
D
A
Expect
it'll
be
up
at
the
end
if
there
is
any
public
comment,
okay,
and
if
there's
not
public
comment
that
day,
there
definitely
will
be
for
at
the
next
meeting
on
February,
9th
okay.
A
Hearing
none
we've
talked
about
these
meetings.
A
The
next
monthly
meeting
will
be
here
on
February
9th
after
the
retreat.
So
is
there
any
other
business
for
the
community
or
questions
comments
or
concerns.
