All
right
we
have
the
I
think
we
have
two
sets
of
minutes
from
meetings
in
January
that
were
in
your
packets.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
those
or
any
discussion.
A
A
No?
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes
say
aye
all
right,
any
opposed
all
right.
The
minutes
are
approved,
homeless
strategy,
division
updates,
Emily.
D
Great
good
morning
wanted
to
share
a
few,
a
few
operational
updates
with
you
all
from
our
staff
team
here
at
the
city
in
the
homeless
strategy
division.
Thank
you.
So
we'll
go
over
the
point
in
time.
Count
that
event
happened
recently,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
recap
of
that.
Tell
you
about
the
federal
reports
that
are
have
just
been
submitted
and
are
coming
up
and
then
also
talk
about
a
new
process
for
letters
of
support
from
the
Continuum
of
Care
for
partner
agencies.
D
D
The
count
is
a
federal
requirement
from
HUD
for
every
Continuum
of
Care
and
by
Federal
Regulation.
That
count
is
specifically
looking
at
folks
who
meet
the
literal
homelessness
definition.
So
that's
people
who
are
in
Emergency
Shelters,
transitional
housing
and
folks
who
are
unsheltered,
and
so
our
Emergency
Shelters
and
transitional
housing
programs
will
submit
their
data
either
through
hmis,
homeless
management
information
system
or
through
paper
surveys.
D
The
unsheltered
account
was
conducted
with
volunteer
teams,
the
night
of
the
31st
and
then
also
the
following
day
at
day
service
locations
across
the
community,
so
ahope
and
Haywood
Street,
for
example,
data
entry
is
already
underway,
I,
it's
just
so
exciting
to
me
to
have
a
team
we
have
capacity
now
to
be.
You
know
much
faster
in
our
data
entry
than
in
the
past,
and
so
our
goal
is
certainly
to
to
do
that.
As
quickly
as
possible
and
submit
early
and
Report
out
early,
we
know
this
data
is
important
for
our
community.
D
We
will
also
be
working
on
the
housing
inventory
count,
which
is
the
other
part
of
the
federal
requirement
that
accompanies
the
point
in
time.
Count
housing
inventory
account
tells
us
how
many
beds
are
available
on
the
same
night
as
the
point
in
time
count
by
bed
type
and
by
population.
D
D
Particular
thanks
to
staff
from
abccm
Homeward
balance
sunrise
and
the
VA
Medical
Center,
who
we
had
a
ton
of
participation
from
those
folks
and
it's
really
beneficial
when
we
have
people
on
those
Street
Count
teams
who
are
working
in
homeless,
Services
themselves-
and
so
are
you
know,
familiar
with
vote.
They
may
run
into
people,
they
already
know.
D
That's
that
really
helps
in
that
kind
of
relationship
and
Rapport
when
you're
asking
people
for
that
pretty
sensitive
personal
data
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
community
and
economic
development
staff,
so
our
team
in
the
homeless
strategy
division
all
went
down
Sick
at
the
last
minute,
and
so
we
were
not
there
for
the
point
in
time
gal,
and
so
we
passed
that
ball
to
our
colleagues
in
the
department.
So
big
thanks
to
them
for
stepping
in
and
pulling
that
off
and
big.
D
Thank
you
to
Jamie
benshoff,
who
spoke
at
the
event,
to
really
help
folks
understand
what
that
experience
is
like
and
sort
of
ground
them,
and
what
the
what
the
point
is.
You
know
what
they're
here
to
do
and
how
to
how
to
remember
that
we're
just
talking
about
human
beings
and
we
want
to
just
talk
to
people
like
their
people.
So
thank
you
for
for
doing
that.
D
Yeah
federal
reporting,
so
HUD
requires
Continuum
continua
of
Care
to
submit
four
reports
annually
to
the
federal
government
and
those
again
are
the
point
in
time
count
and
the
housing
inventory
count.
Hud
has
not
given
us
a
deadline
for
those
yet,
but
they
are
traditionally
in
the
spring.
So
we'll
we'll,
let
you
know
when
that's
been
published.
D
The
third
is
the
longitudinal
systems
analysis
report
and
that
was
submitted.
January
4th
real
shout
out
to
Charles
young
for
making
that
happen
a
week
before
the
deadline.
This
is
excite
we're
on
an
exciting
path,
around
data
in
our
community,
so
great
job
on
his
part
in
getting
that
done.
That
informs
Hud's
annual
report
to
Congress
on
National
progress
in
the
work
of
ending
homelessness.
D
All
of
this,
of
course,
sort
of
trickles
back
down
to
resources
that
are
available
at
the
local
level
and
then
the
fourth
is
system
performance
measures
and
that
report
is
due
February
28th.
So
it's
underway
right
now
that
looks
at
how
efficient
our
homeless
service
system
is
in
ending
homelessness
through
a
handful
of
metrics.
If
you
were
part
of
Hayek
last
year,
we
did
a
report
on
that.
D
To
really
deep
dive
into
what
those
data
are,
and
so
we
will
do
that
again
at
the
March
meeting
to
share
with
you
what
our
system
performance
measures
look
like.
I
will
say
that,
as
our
data
are
improving,
you
know,
there's
always
the
data
lag
so
we're
reporting
in
a
in
the
prior
Federal
fiscal
year.
So
that's
October
1st
to
September
30th.
D
D
Lastly,
letters
of
support-
so
you
know,
as
you
all
know,
it's
common
for
agencies
who
are
seeking
funding
for
programs
to
request
letters
of
support
common
for
funders
to
expect
letters
of
support
to
accompany
those
funding
applications
and
in
the
past,
when
letters
of
support
have
been
requested
from
the
COC.
Those
have
come
through
the
the
staff
team,
but
we've
not
had
a
clear
process
for
the
Continuum
of
Care
board,
which
is
you
all
to
approve
those
letters,
and
so
I
want
to
shift
that
going
forward.
D
D
So
I
want
to
I'm
hoping
to
establish
a
clear
process
today.
We'll
share
this
information
out
with
partner
agencies,
certainly
want
to
give
everyone
good,
advanced
notice
and
set
this
up
for
Success.
We'll
publish
this
on
our
website,
but
the
the
process
as
I
Envision
it
is
that
requesting
agencies
would
submit
a
form
to
staff.
D
We
would
share
that
with
you
all
in
advance
of
an
actual
vote
again,
all
that
information
and
process
would
be
shared
out
publicly
and
then
your
opportunity
is
to
support
programming,
that's
in
alignment
with
the
the
strategies
of
the
Continuum
of
Care,
and
then
we
would
facilitate
execution
of
those
letters
based
on
your
decision.
D
So
I
am
hoping
for
a
little
discussion
right
now
about
what
you
would
like
to
see
in
that
process.
What
kind
of
information
you
want
to
be
sure
We
Gather
in
that
form,.
D
I,
the
the
information
that
I
would
propose,
we
want
is
the
funder,
the
funding
program,
the
amount
requested,
whether
it's
newer
renewal.
If
it's
renewal,
are
there
any
changes,
the
project
type,
meaning
you
know-
shelter,
rapid
rehousing,
Etc
population
to
be
served,
scope
of
the
project,
outcomes
projected
and
implementation
timeline
and
then
also
looking
at
Continuum
of
Care
participation.
So
is
the
agency
an
active
participant
in
the
work
of
the
Continuum
of
Care?
Will
those
data
be
entered
into?
D
Hmis
will
be
project,
participate
in
coordinated
entry,
and
does
the
agency
have
someone
with
lived
experience
on
the
board
of
directors?
This
is
this
is
content
that
makes
sense
to
me,
but
I'd
love
your
input
on
whether
whether
there
are
any
of
those
pieces
you
don't
want
and
whether
there
are
any
additional
pieces
that
you
do
want.
F
D
I
would
well
I
would
think
that
best
case
scenario
which
we
won't
always
have,
but
that
best
case
scenario
would
be
that
that
certainly
requests
are
submitted,
that
there's
maybe
a
monthly
deadline,
so
that
those
requests
can
then
be
part
of
your
meeting
materials.
At
the
upcoming
meeting.
A
F
A
G
I
think
that's
really
important
as
to
how
we
even
proceed
as
a
country,
so
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
really
important
to
to
really
take
a
fine
tooth
comb,
because
it's
not
being
done
so
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something.
That's
not
being
done
yet.
I
can
take
our
time
with
this.
A
Okay,
I
I
would
encourage
us
not
to
make
it
a
essentially
another
full
application
process
for
people
to.
If
they're
asking
for
a
letter
of
support,
it's
different
than
asking
for
funding
that
we
distribute
but
but
I
understand
that,
and
maybe
that
can
be
part
of
the
some
aspect
of
the
form
so
that
we
can
see
it.
G
A
Okay,
David.
A
D
So
I'll,
if
it
works
for
you
all
I'll
draft
something
I'll
draft
a
form
and
then
circulate
that
to
you
for
input
and
then
we'll
finalize
that
and
then
get
that
shared
out
with
our
Community
Partners
and
published
on
the
website.
F
A
All
right
any
other,
so
we
don't
need
action
on
this.
You're
gonna,
take
it
back
and
we'll
group
the
form
next
time.
Okay,
anything
else
from
the
staff.
A
We
have
a
permanent
Supportive
Housing
project
update
Arthur
Murray
from
Step
Up
is
here
to
to
talk
about
the
Ramada
Inn
project,
dear
River
Ridge.
Well,.
H
Thank
you
David
good
morning,
everyone
Arthur
Murray
from
Step
Up
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
the
regions,
so
I
oversee
all
our
Southeast
projects,
I'm
happy
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
projects
of
the
Ramada
Inn.
Unfortunately,
the
construction
hasn't
yet
started,
we're
still
working
through
the
initial
contract
phases
and
that's
going
through
the
normal
processes
that
it
takes
with
purchasing
and
to
start
construction.
H
What
we
have
done,
though,
is
that
we've
started
to
meet
with
Community
leaders
in
Asheville
to
start
looking
at
what
the
services
would
look
like
at
the
site,
considering
what
the
Staffing
plan
would
be.
For
instance,
I've
met
with
the
VA
representative
at
charity
and
we've
looked
at
types
of
clients
that
they
would
want
to
refer,
and
how
would
the
two
teams
work
together
because
since
the
VA
would
like
to
have
staff
on
site,
which
is
really
amazing
in
one
of
these
projects,
that
that
would
happen.
H
So
you
know
my
goal
for
the
next
months,
while
we're
waiting
on
construction
to
start
and
finish
is
just
to
come
to
Asheville
meet
with
as
many
providers
as
possible
to
start
building
a
coalition
of.
H
How
would
we
have
services
at
the
site,
it's
usual
for
us,
that
we
partner
with
Community
agencies
to
do
that,
so
agencies
Not
only
would
be
providing
services
to
clients
that
they've
already
worked
with
and
they're
familiar
with,
for
instance,
medical
or
mental
health
treatment,
but
agencies
such
as
such
as
ones
that
do
harm
reduction
and
those
things
with
compensate
trained
staff
and
work
with
them
in
that
way.
H
So,
I'm
looking
forward
to
you,
know
continuing
my
work
with
Emily
and
her
team
I've
already
met
with
her
a
few
times
to
discuss
things
from
the
COC
side.
So
if
you
guys
have
any
questions
for
us,
please
let
me
know
and
we'll
be
happy
to
you
know,
keep
this
moving
along.
Thank
you.
H
I
think
as
of
right
now,
construction
is
looking
to
start
sometime
in
March,
so
possibly
at
the
end
of
the
year.
It'll
be
great
if
this
could
actually
happen
before
Christmas
I
was
love
moving
people
in
around
that
time.
It's
a
great
feeling
to
go
into
your
your
you
know
your
new
place
and
the
holidays,
so
we're
hoping
for
that.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
I
H
Have
not
yet,
but
they
are
on
my
list
of
bomb
agencies
that
I'd
like
to
connect
with
so
the
first
persons
I've
met
with
were
with
the
VA,
since
they
will
have
a
presence
on
site
I've
met
with
Emily
and
today,
I'm
also
meeting
with
Jenny
from
Homeward
bounds
and
some
such
a
large
agency
in
the
area
so
I'm
starting
to
go
down
the
list
of
agencies
that
I
meet
with
and
start
building
those
relationships.
H
A
You,
the
other
thing
I'll
mention.
Thank
you
for
reminding
me
Jamie.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
a
coordinated
entry.
A
Work
group
hopefully
started
as
soon
as
we
finish
this
meeting
and
and
that
group
will
be
refining
our
coordinated
entry
system,
making
sure
that
referrals
for
things
like
permanent
Supportive
Housing
go
through
a
review
and
prioritization
process
and
that
that
process
is
is
both
efficient
and
and
Equitable,
so
that
you
know
we're
we're
not
using
a
tool
that
that
is,
has
a
discriminatory
impact,
so
yeah
that
we
are
trying
to
remember
how
to
think
as
a
system
after
covid
and
and
we
would
encourage
you
to
also
think
of
the
Continuum
of
Care
as
a
system,
not
just
individual
agencies
that
that
you
need
to
reach
out
to
definitely.
A
Okay
goal
adoption:
the
National
Alliance
recommended
that
we.
A
2025
point
in
time
count
compared
to
last
year's
point
in
time
count
is
there
any
looks
like
the
projector
is.
Is
there
it
is
okay,
any
discussion
about
this
or
emotion.
A
A
F
A
A
A
Create
second,
is
create
accountable
and
transparent
governance.
Structures.
L
Way
that
or
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
talking
about
the
quality
of
the
services
that
that
are
being
provided
because
that's
come
up
in
a
lot
of
conversations.
Lately
is
to
make
sure
that,
while
we're
collecting
data
that
we
don't
become
solely
focused
on
what
the
data
represents,
but
make
sure
that
it's
quality
data
driven
by
quality,
work.
C
E
I
also
feel
like,
and
maybe
I'm
missing
it
in
here,
but
oh,
a
commitment
to
equity,
both
in
funding
and
practices
in
access
to
services.
A
L
I
just
want
us
to
you,
know,
remain
and
bring
to
the
Forefront
just
to
push
for
Quality
better
than
what
we've
done
before.
D
L
I
mean
I,
think
I'm
I'm,
fine
with
the
word
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
part
of
our
process
and
thinking
moving
forward
and
then
maybe
when
it
comes
to
actually
putting
policy
structure
and
procedures
in
the
place
that
that
be
a
focus
area.
For
us.
E
C
L
A
L
For
me,
I
think
it's
both
yeah
I
think
it's
quality
services.
The
data
will
reflect
exactly
what
that
is.
M
If
we
get
really
detailed
in
that
quality
means
different
things
for
different
people,
so
I
think
we.
We
have
to
be
careful
with
that.
A
A
A
Do
do
do
we
feel
like
we
need
to
do
it
by
committee
right.
The
second
I
think
we
can
add
a
sentence
around
quality
and
bring
it
back
next
month
and
make
sure
everybody's
comfortable
with
it.
B
A
Jen's
question
about
Equity
both
for
the
bipoc
community
and
lgbtq
plus
Community.
Where
would
that
fit
best?
I
think
under.
A
E
C
N
Romney.
Thank
you
for
this
point
of
privilege.
I
am
your
city
council
liaison
I
have
requested
a
County
Commission
liaison
as
well
so
I'll
be
sending
a
report
from
this
meeting,
with
your
recommendations
to
both
the
city
and
the
county
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
some
clarification:
I
Heard
a
conversation
happen
around
quality
of
data
and
quality
of
service
and
I'm
wondering
how
you
do
the
measuring
part
is.
A
I
think
it's
going
to
come
through
the
performance
measures
that
that
we
adopt-
and
that's
that's
not
spelled
out
here,
but
it
certainly
will
fit
into
those
and
I
think
we're
going
to
talk
about
racial
Equity
with
one
of
the
work
groups
in
just
a
few
minutes.
But
I
think
that
Emily
you
may
have
something
to
add
to
that.
But.
D
Thank
you,
I
I,
think
part
of
where
this
lives
is
in
the
written
standards
for
the
Continuum
of
Care,
which
is
the
charge
of
every
Continuum
of
Care.
We
do
have
some
written
standards,
but
they're,
very
outdated,
haven't
been
sort
of
reviewed
and
updated,
and
since
before
we
knew
a
pandemic
was
coming,
and
so
so
I
think
I
think
where
quality
really
gets
spelled
out
is
in
those
written
standards.
A
N
I
I
had
an
observation
during
the
grant
process.
Many
of
the
applicants
include
their
Staffing
policies
and
their
numbers
regarding
that,
and
many
of
the
applications
include
what
would
fall
under
quality
where
they
measure
staff,
turnout
and
staff
burnout
and
doing
specific
strategies
to
keep
staff
level.
Particip
excuse
me
participation
as
quality,
driven
as
they
can.
A
A
E
Yeah
I
just
want
to
make
sure
to
kind
of
councilman
Roni's
comment
and
then
also
kind
of
comment.
I
just
heard
around
disabilities
too,
and
so
access
so
I've
kind
of
said
that,
in
regards
to
the
equity
piece
in
my
world
or
whatever
I
utilize,
the
Dei
language
I
also
add
that
a
that
accessibility,
piece
and
so
I
just
want
to
continue
to
lift
that
up.
We
can
build
services,
but
if
people
can't
access
them,
it's
it's
empty
space
for
individuals.
A
I
agree
with
making
sure
that
disability
is
covered,
I.
Think
a
lot
of
our
work
is
around
people
with
disabilities
of
different
kinds.
I
personally
want
to
make
sure
that
we
often
other
categories
tend
to
outweigh.
A
If
you
were
fewer
people
of
color
rise
to
the
top
of
that
assessment
in
proportion
to
their
percentage
of
the
population
of
the
homeless
population.
So
so
we
need
to
keep
all
those
things
in
mind,
but
we
need
to
particularly
focus
on
that
one.
I
I
have
an
observation:
is
it
pronounced,
be
that
the.
I
H
A
Worry
I
would
prefer
to
be
bold
and
adopt
these
today
and
add
to
them
next
month.
If
we
need
to.
A
G
G
A
C
G
G
A
We
approve
these
Community
Values
and
direct
staff
to
draft
some
additional
language
to
be
voted
on
next
month.
Related
to
Quality
and
equity.
N
A
All
right
so
now
to
the
nitty-gritty,
so
the
goals
that
are
the
key
priorities
that
an
aeh
recommended.
A
Their
way,
eight
of
them
one
is
to
improve
system
governance,
specifically
by
at
least
restructuring
our
governing
body,
so
that
we're
not
all
appointed
by
the
city
or
county.
A
Second,
one
is
to
implement
an
encampment
resolution.
Policy
third,
is
to
build
the
capacity
of
Street,
Outreach
and
I
would
say.
Capacity
and
coordination.
A
A
First
one
is
a
governance
work
group
and
before
we
start
talking
about
membership,
this
is
a
draft
charge
for
that
work.
Group.
A
C
A
A
K
E
Yes,
I'm
in
agreement
with
the
governance
work
group.
However,
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
that
person.
It's
saying
that
it's
based
on
one
of
the
models
I
think
part
of
it
is
to
see
what
model
fits
fits
in
our
community
and
not
that's.
The
only
wordsmithing
that
I
would
do
is
not
limit
us
to
only
the
three
options
that
were
presented
by
the
alliance.
A
Sure,
at
least,
can
it
say
considering
the
models
recommended
by
naeh,
yes
and
and
I
would
encourage
this
governance.
Work
group
could
easily
go
down
a
rabbit
hole
of
talking
for
months
about
governance.
A
There
are
some
good
models
there
that
and
obviously
we
need
to
customize
them
to
fit
Asheville,
but
I
think
we
need
to
there's
going
to
be
more
work
for
this
group
to
do
when
we're
done
with
the
governance
piece,
so
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
we
want
to
be
in
the
position
of
trying
to
approve
this
this
time
next
year.
I
think
we
want
to
move
quicker
than
that
as
possible.
A
All
right,
I,
don't
we'll
come
back
to
the
membership
in
just
a
minute,
but
let's
go
to
the
next
charge.
Unless
there's
any
other
comments,
Miss
Ronnie.
N
Thank
you
for
a
moment
of
consideration
before
you
get
into
the
membership.
N
I
did
have
some
curiosity
after
the
three-hour
meeting
that
we
had
of
the
the
County
Commission
in
the
city
council
together
and
then
the
six
hour
Hayak
meeting
that
we
had
the
very
next
day
and
I
saw
all
of
you
in
both
of
those
meetings,
and
it
was
clear
to
me
that
we
had
some
folks
that
were
had
some
compensation
for
their
time
there
and
some
folks
that
didn't
and
we
say
that
we
we
desired
to
have
people
with
lived
experience
at
the
table.
So
my
question
to
my
peers.
N
At
the
city
and
the
county
level,
the
electeds
was:
are
we
prepared
to
support
with
the
stipend
to
address
the
ability
for
people
to
show
up
and
to
honor
the
experience
that
they
bring
to
the
table
as
a
not
unlike
a
consultant,
and
we
would
be
paying
for
a
consultant,
so
paying
for
lived
experience
seems
appropriate
and
I
wondered
if,
if
we
might
invite
a
recommendation
around
that
and
I've
I've
been
told
to
ask
if
you
might
consider
it
in
your
recommendations
regarding
membership,
so
that
more
folks
might
feel
like
they
could
sign
up
to
do
additional
work
outside
of
already
these
meetings
of
being
volunteer
efforts.
N
N
Way,
Durham
structures,
their
Advisory
Board
stipends
is
around
just
addressing
Equity
seats
at
the
table,
so
that
folks
might
apply
based
on
different
needs.
It
could
be
Transportation
Child,
Care
time
away
from
their
daily
obligations,
so
there
are
models
in
North
Carolina.
For
that
I
think
the
question
is
whether
or
not
it
would
be
an
hourly
stipend
or
a
per
meeting
stipend
I.
Think
the
question
for
from
us
for
y'all
today
is
if
you
would
recommend
that
we
pursue
something
at
all.
N
And
I
think
that,
even
before
we're
getting
ready
to
ask
this
body
to
do
such
a
labor
intensive
work
that
it
might
include
a
stipend
for
the
work
group
work
as
well,
so
I
think
it.
My
suggestion
would
be.
N
A
Do
we
generally
support
developing
a
compensation
structure
for
people
with
lived
experience
and
others
who
may
need
support
in
attending
meetings
and
that
sort
of
thing.
A
E
A
So
that's
that's
one
option
to
consider.
On
the
other
hand,
maybe
you
know,
maybe
it
should
be
an
hourly
and
then
people
would
just
have
to
report
that
if
they're
on
a
subsidized
rent,
so
I
think
in
terms
of
developing
the
specifics,
there
are
some
other
considerations
to
take
in
mind
and
to
account
the
question
is:
do
we
generally
support
the
idea
of
compensating
people
who
are
not
otherwise
employed
to
do
this
work
way
for
participation
in
our
committee
and
in.
C
A
N
And
so
the
model
from
Durham
also
is
you
apply,
one
would
apply
and
you
could
choose
to
apply
or
not
apply
for
that
stipend
if
you
needed,
for
example,
funds
for
child
care
or
funds
for
transportation
or
you
are
in
between
two
different
jobs
and
had
to
pick
up
something
on
the
way
to
work
to
sustain
you
know
for
dinner
or
something
like
that
it
could
be
applied
or
not
applied.
C
N
The
closest
that
we
have
here
is
the
community
reparations
commission
does
have
a
stipend
for
participants,
and
that
goes
through
the
project
manager.
So
we
do,
we
don't
have
to
start
from
scratch
on
this.
We
could
look
at
that
model
as
a
way
for
people
to
apply
for
stipends
I.
Think
the
pursuit
I'm
looking
at
for
today
is,
if
there's
a
if
there's
a
barrier
to
participating
in
the
work
groups,
whether
in
this
body
or
outside
of
this
body,
and
you
need
support
for
that
end.
A
I
think
we
are
expressing
that
to
the
other
things.
P
A
One
is
to
develop
and
Implement
an
encampment
resolution
policy
about
how
we
approach,
people
who
are
in
encampments
and
and
what
services
we
offer
to
them
and
how
much
time
we
give
them
to
respond.
Things
like
that
and
the
other
is
to
build
the
capacity
and
I
would
say
coordination
of
Street
Outreach,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
agencies
in
this
city
and
county,
providing
Street
Outreach
in
a
very
uncoordinated
way.
A
At
this
point
so,
and
we
in
some
of
our
discussions
at
The
Retreat,
we
identified
eight
or
so
I
think
of
those
agencies.
A
So
this
is
a
big
charge
for
this
group,
but
and
and
if
we
find
out
it's
too
much,
we
might
decide
to
split
it
into
two
different
work
groups,
but
it
seems
like
they're
related.
So
this
is
that's.
This
is
the
suggestion
for
the
charge
for
the
second
work
group.
I
I
do
it's
kind
of
a
Segway
I
thought
there
had
been
a
suggestion.
I
think
you
made
it
about
unfolding
Homeless
Coalition,
because
with
that
work,
group
211
would
be
a
really
vital
contribution.
A
Yes
and
that,
actually
so
once
we
get
through
these
charges,
we're
going
to
try
to
identify
the
core
Hayak
members
of
each
work
group
today
and
make
those
appointments,
but
invite
them
to
include
others
from
the
community.
We
want
the
work
groups
to
remain
somewhat
Nimble
and
not
you
know
not
be
huge,
but
also
to
have
full
full
participation,
certainly
by
folks
in
the
Homeless,
Coalition
and
others,
people
with
other
people
with
lived
experience.
Besides
the
two
of
you
all,
so,
yes,
I
think
the
work
groups
will
be
more
than
just
Hayak
members.
C
E
We
want
to
add
a
sentence
about
you
know
paying
specific
attention
to
the
recommendations
from
the
alliance,
because
they
were
pretty
clear
about
the
number
of
beds
per
type
of
individual
that
were
needed,
not
just
30,
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
anything
that
we
want
to.
A
G
Were
you
I'm
sorry,
were
you
alluding
to
population
types
in
shelters
why
there
aren't
particular
population
types
in
shelters
as
for
criteria.
E
No
that's
a
good
point,
but
no
I
was
alluding
to
the
alliance
earmark
specifically
what
those
beds
should
be.
They
I
think
it
was
60
for
adults
that
are
not
veteran,
linked,
I,
believe
25
of
our
families
and
10
for
10
beds,
with
Supportive
Services,
25
and
10.
I'm.
Sorry,
I
didn't
have
it
right
in
front
of
me
10
for
families,
I'm
25.
E
A
Okay,
so
this
one
I
did
edit
or
incorporate
some
additional
language
from
the
report.
Obviously,
coordinated
entry
is
very
important.
It
is
the
place
where
either
we
have
flow
through
our
system
or
we
don't
not
always
the
fault
of
the
people
who
are
sitting
in
the
coordinated
entry
system.
But
this
is
a
you
know,
a
focus
of
our
our.
A
Continuum
of
Care
as
a
system
to
make
sure
that
people
are
prioritized
and
served
in
a
reasonable
way
and
that
they
end
as
quickly
as
possible-
and
you
know
the
this
I
specifically
added
that
this
work
group
will
focus
on
the
coordinated
entry
system,
assessment
tool
and
utilize
emerging
emerging
best
practices
to
ensure
racial
and
gender
equity
and
transparency
in
permanent
housing
placements.
A
So
we
know
now
that
the
vulnerability
index
but
alone
standing
alone
discriminates
against
people
of
color
or
has
a
discriminatory
impact.
It's
a
structural
system
that
we
need
to
change,
so
part
of
this
committee's
work
will
be
to
make
sure
that
we
that
we
develop
our
assessment
tool
or
our
process
so
that
we
don't
have
those
racial
disparities.
G
D
Can
I
suggest
I
I
think
where
that
would
live,
is
not
with
coordinated
entry
but
is
related
to
the
quality
of
service
that
Mark
has
talked
about
earlier
and
where,
where
I
would
suggest
that
would
live
is
in
those
written
standards
that
again
we
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
developing
those.
But
that's
exactly
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
that
you
know
the
Continuum
of
Care
board
ought
to
be
insuring
as
part
of
our
structure.
E
E
I
feel
like
I'm,
also
not
seeing
here,
is
about
maybe
recruiting
additional
members
to
the
coordinated
entry
system,
if
or
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding
but
Mark
is
based
on
some
conversations.
We've
had
I'm
wondering
if
everybody
who
could
or
should
be
utilizing.
This
platform
is
utilizing
it
here
in
Bunco.
L
I
would
say
they
may
not
be,
and
that
goes
back
to
how
we
utilize
data,
how
we
make
recommendations
for
Sheltering
and
what
their
Sheltering
looks
like
and
and
actually
being
able
to
provide
quality
like
we
talk
about
is
you
know,
am
I
am
I,
sending
somebody
to
an
appropriate
housing
intervention,
or
are
they
going
to
return
to
the
streets,
because
it's
not
it's
not
beneficial
for
them
to
be
there.
L
So
I
think
part
of
what
coordinated
entry
would
be
doing
and
looking
for
key
Partners
would
be
reaching
out
to
folks
in
the
community
to
see
if
they
want
to
participate,
especially
if
they're
agencies
that
have
shelters
that
can
be
provided.
Hopefully
some
of
the
shelter
placement
would
come
through
that
coordinated
entry
process
and
I.
Think
I
would
also
look
at
some
type
of
mechanism
for
understanding
that
and
I
think
that
falls
under
education.
L
Is,
you
know,
are
our
providers
understanding
what
what
the
assessment
is,
what
it
does,
what
it's
meant
for,
how
to
actually
utilize
it
in
the
folks
who
are
receiving
the
assessment?
Do
they
understand?
What's
being
next
to
them?
I
think
those
were
two
of
the
biggest
criticisms
with
the
be
asked
for
that
is
understanding
on
both
sides.
A
A
A
As
we,
so
we
need
core
membership
in
these
work
groups.
We
did
get
some
volunteers
at
the
at
the
retreat
and
James
I
mean
Emily
and
I
have
kind
of
done
a
little
bit
of
brainstorming
but
I.
A
Well,
do
you
want
me
to
suggest
names,
or
do
you
want
to
volunteer
again
at
this
point.
J
No
but
I
do
have
a
comment
on
the
governance
or
request
for
the
governance
committee
members.
If
we
could
have
a
City
attorney
and
County
attorney
check
of
conflict
of
interest,
we're
going
to
be
you
know,
dismantling
a
large,
structured,
remanteling,
a
large
structure,
so
it'd
be
great
to
be
transparent
with
who's
on
that
committee.
K
A
A
I
think
we
can
try
to
identify
any
conflicts
of
interest
that
exist,
but
I'm
not
sure
why
we
need
the
city
and
county
attorney
to
do
that.
J
In
the
interest
of
transparency,
particularly
because
we're
dismantling
a
large
governance
committee
and
remantling
I
mean
you
know
reconstituting
one,
those
are
really
major
decisions
about
millions
of
dollars,
also
and
policy.
So
I
would
just
feel
comfortable
having
an
external
check
for
the
CDA
attorney
and
the
county
attorney.
A
A
A
For
the
coordinated
entry
we
we
didn't
try
to
double
assign
you
all,
but
if,
if
anybody
and
and
we
certainly
need-
if,
if
our
two
Hayak
members
who
are
people
with
lived
experience,
don't
have
time
to
participate
in
multiple
work
groups,
we'll
need
to
identify
somebody
else.
Who
can
do
that
for
coordinated
entry.
A
K
A
A
You
Helen
so
okay,
so
Ellen
Hyatt
I
mean
we
won't
make
that
appointment.
But
we'll
make
a
note
in
the
minutes
that
that
you're
interested
as
a
as
a
neighborhood.
A
E
A
L
A
I'll
talk
louder.
Motion
buys
the
last
second
by
Marcus,
all
in
favor
I,
any
opposed.
E
David
can
I
ask
one
clarifying
question
or
just
to
reiterate:
electeds
are
able
to
join
any
meetings
that
they
would
like.
Is
that
true?
Yes,
okay,.
A
A
I
think
this
is
our
time
to
be
bold
and
to
to
take
leadership.
I
think
we
should
not
look
at
this
from
a
scarcity
mentality.
We
should
look
at
it
from
an
abundance
mentality
that
we
have
resources,
that
we
need
in
our
community
to
solve
these
problems
and
just
need
to
bring
them
all
in
a
coordinated
way
to
to
address
our
goals,
both
our
work
group
goals,
but
our
overall
system
goals
and
our
overall
system
goals,
and,
let's
remember
the
the
pandemic.
A
A
A
A
Marcus,
can
you
or
Joelle
convene
the
coordinated
entry?
Yes,
and
we
still
need
to
work
a
little
bit
on
encampments,
but
we'll
talk
about
that
and
then
I'll
convene
the
shelter
group,
but
not
necessarily
serve
as
the
chair
of
that.
M
Just
one
question:
for
the
purpose
of
minutes:
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
having
a
standard
Charter
for
each
work
group.
Is
that
something
we
can
have
before
our
next
meetings
or
sometime
this
month.
B
M
Direction
so
whether
that's
you
know
actionable
items
from
each
work
group
timelines
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
certainly
can
be
done
in
each
work
group.
But
we
may
want
to
set
a
tempo
as
a
larger
group.
O
O
Say,
thank
you,
David,
for
putting
this
together.
I
think
it's
really
difficult
to
move
forward
with
these
big
goals
and
get
them
started
immediately
and
put
this
together
for
us.
I
think
there'll
be
plenty
of
time
for
us
to
try
to
adjust
the
language
work
on
our
goals.
It's
an
ongoing
process
and
just
getting
these
things
formed
and
started
on
the
work.
I
think
is
really
important.
So
thank
you
for
for
doing
that.
O
A
A
I
guess
did
we
establish
a
timeline?
It
would
be
good
to
I
think
we
need
to
report
back
from
each
work
group
at
every
IAC
meeting.
You
know,
let
us
know
where
you
are
and
and
again
we're
gonna
try
to
achieve
concrete
results.
So
for
governance
that
would
be
at
least
a
draft
governance
Charter
of
some
kind
within
the
next
three
months.
A
For
encampments
and
Outreach,
it
would
be
in
a
drafts
encampments
policy
for
coordinated
entry,
I,
don't
know,
maybe
some
revisions
of
the
current
process
and
for
shelter,
a
strategic
plan
or
a
draft
strategic
plan
of
how
we're
going
to
go
about
it
and
then
for
the
other
goals.
Just
so
everybody's
thinking
forward.
A
The
high
utilizer
initiative
and
the
housing
surge
could
be
next
action
items
for
coordinated
entry
and
we're
going
to
have
a
good
opportunity
for
a
housing
surge
later
this
year
or
early
next,
with
the
permanent
Supportive
Housing
opportunities
coming
online,
so
that
we
need
to
sort
of
keep
that
in
the
middle
of
our
minds
and
then
moving
on
strategies
there
is
we
can
that'll
that'll
need
to
be
something
we
take
up
next.
D
Can
I
actually
can
I
add
one
thing
before
sorry.
Sorry,
public
I
I
just
want
to
name
for
you
all
and
also
for
Community
folks.
That
I
would
anticipate
that
that
governance
work
group
will,
as
they
build
out
that
structure
that
will
include
some
standing
committees
that
we'll
need
to
attend
to
the
the
work.
The
ongoing
work
of
the
Continuum
of
Care.
In
addition
to
kind
of
topical
work
groups
that
may
form
you
know,
may
get
formed
and
dissolved
over
time.
D
So
that's
to
say,
there's
some
some
of
the
things
we
need
to
look
at
like
written
standards
and
performance
measures
and
those
those
kinds
of
preparation,
work
for
the
Continuum
of
Care
application
and
ongoing
data
evaluation.
Monitoring
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
build
out
some
of
that
structure,
which
is
also
to
say
for
Community
folks
I
think
that
there
will
be
many
opportunities
to
participate
as
the
structure
develops
further.
Q
Yes,
I
have
two
Christians,
so
Michael
Woods
tells
me
he's
got
110
people
that
have
gone
through
his
system.
They're
sober
they're,
you
know
really
they're
working,
but
he
has
no
way
to
put
them.
So
what
how
does
the
community
think
about
addressing
a
person
who
was
homeless
went
to
the
mission
did
everything
they
were
supposed
to
do
and
now
there's
no
way
to
put
them
and
then,
with
the
largest
rental
apartment
rental
place
no
longer
taking
vouchers,
that's
a
huge.
Q
We
now
have
another
massive
Gap
in
our
community
that
I
don't
really
know
what
we're
doing
to
address
it.
So,
even
if
we
do
all
this
stuff,
we've
still
got
this
huge
hole,
and
my
other
question
is
I
understand
that
neither
the
rescue,
medicine
or
abccm
will
cooperate
with
the
HCM
hmis
system.
So
how
do
you
ever
collate
data
to
know
like
what
capacity,
what
beds
what's
going
on
and
I?
Q
Don't
know
if
there's
a
way
that
you
can
force
them
to
cooperate
if,
like
Michael
is
100
privately
funded,
he
doesn't
have
to
do
anything
your
eyes
ask.
So
he
can.
You
know
he's
running
a
great
place,
but
how
does
he
flow
into
our
this
Grand
system
that
we're
talking
about
and
how
does
abccm
also
work
into
the
system
and
be
so
we're
all
rowing
in
the
same
back
boat?
Q
As
the
lady
at
the
Homeless
Coalition
said,
you
know,
she's
very
concerned
that
all
the
people
that
have
made
homelessness
into
an
industry-
they
don't
really
want
to
solve
it.
They
just
want
to
keep
getting
funds
doing
what
they're
doing
they're
all
there
looking
out
for
their
little
p-pad
as
she
called
it.
And
so
how
do
you
get
everybody
cooperating
to
solve
it
when
it's
so
lucrative
with
them?
Q
C
A
Not
going
to
respond
to
all
the
comments,
but
one
of
your
comments
really
reminded
me
of
something
we
have
two
elected
leaders
here
and
anybody
else
who
might
be
listening
or
talking
with
folks.
We
have
the
first
comment
about
where
permanent
housing
options,
where
are
people
supposed
to
go
when
they
graduate
from
shelter
or
transitional
or
come
in
a
housing
first
model
from
the
street?
We
have
four
approved:
low-income
housing,
tax
credit
projects
in
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County
right
now.
A
So
my
request
and
all
of
them
when
they're
built,
will
be
required
to
accept
vouchers
and
we'll
have
some
targeted
units
for
for
for
people
in
the
in
the
population
that
we're
talking
about
or
they
they
could
House
people
that
would
free
up
other
opportunities
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
So
my
request
to
both
elected
bodies
and
to
the
staff
of
those
bodies
is
that
we
find
a
way
to
fund
all
of
those
projects
this
year.
We've
never
had
this
many
opportunities
for
permanent
housing
units.
They
will
all
be
required
to
accept
vouchers.
M
A
This
economy
is
not
going
to
get
any
better
we're.
You
know
we're
seeing
unprecedented
pressure
on
our
rental
market
due
to
our
tourism
economy
and
due
to
the
fact
that
we
have
both
climate
and
pandemic
relocations
to
our
community
driving
prices
up
your
other
issue,
I,
think
in
terms
of
incorporating
all
all
providers
into
a
system
is,
is
going
to
be
something
for
the
governance
committee
or
work
group
to
to
look
at
next
or
some
other
new
subcommittee.
A
D
Just
two
two
comments
that
abccm
does
participate
in
hmis,
so
just
a
clarification
that
they
they
do
enter
their
data
into
hmis
and
the
other
about.
You
know
folks,
who
have
have
been
in
shelter
programs
and
are
in
need
of
housing.
I
would
say
that
is
certainly
the
intention
of
coordinated
injury,
that
is
a
component
of
a
coordinated
entry
system
is
as
we
as
folks
move
through
homeless,
Services
across
the
community.
D
What's
the
exit
pathway
that
will
be
most
successful
for
them,
and
can
we
streamline
that
so
that
it
is
easy
for
people
to
access
so
that
it's
right
size
to
their
particular
need
and
coordinated
entry
does
exist
in
our
community
right
now,
but
it
is
very
cumbersome
difficult
to
navigate.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
housing
resources
for
people
who
are
not
veterans,
and
so
there's
not
not
been.
It's
not
been
very
compelling
for
providers
to
participate
in
that
system
because
there
aren't
strong
outcomes
currently.
G
He
wants
to
give
jobs
to
people
who
want
to
live
on
his
property
and
he
wants
to
end
the
problem
with
health
care
and
the
elderly
getting
older,
and
he
has
all
these
great
ideas
and
I'm
like
why
do
people
know
about
what
you
want
to
do
and
I
introduced
some
ideas
about
this
and
he's
like?
G
Why
didn't
anybody
tell
me
this
people
have
been
recording
me
for
years
doing
this
work
and
he's
built
he
spent
over
a
million
dollars
on
his
project
out
of
pocket
and
he's
still
adamant
about
what
he's
doing,
and
you
know
the
problem
is
that
you're
right,
everybody
wants
the
glory
in
this
work
and
nothing's
getting
done.
So
all
right,
don't
hold
your
breath,
but
we're
still
working
on
it.
So
yeah,
it's
good
things
are
going
to
happen.
I
promise
you.
K
All
right,
thanks
for
having
me
I'll,
keep
mine
short
simple.
My
name
is
Paige
Weber
I
am
the
housing
program
coordinator
for
help
meet
I've
worked
with
helpmate
for
a
little
over
four
years.
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
that
help
me
has
requested
to
be
part
of
the
coordinated
entry
assessment
work
group,
both
as
an
active
member
of
Cam
and
also
a
significant
shelter
provider
here
at
the
community.
We
also
have
a
really
strong
and
documented
precedent
for
having
a
seat
on
Hayak
and
being
a
participant,
so
just
wanted
to
know
that.
P
My
name
is
Mary
singer
and
I
would
like
to
propose
a
contribution
to
Hayek
in
some
capacity.
I
have
well
over
10
years
of
lived
experience
as
a
homeless
woman,
mostly
in
Buncombe
County
and
all
over.
The
United
States
of
America
I
have
a
vast
amount
of
information
and
knowledge
and
experience
to
contribute,
and
I
also
would
like
to
propose
that
I'd
be
compensated
for
that
knowledge.
Thank
you
very
much.
