A
This
is
a
joint
meeting
between
the
community
development
block
grant
committee
and
the
mental
health
board,
and
it's
wonderful
to
have
everybody
here
and
I'm
thinking
to
start
off.
Why
don't
we
go
around
and
each
introduce
each
other
ourselves
and
say
which
committee
you're
on
and
maybe
while
you're
on
there,
I'm
ann
rainey,
I'm
the
alderman
of
the
eighth
ward
and
I'm
just
found
out
yesterday.
I'm
chairing
this
committee
thanks
thanks
for
the
late
notice,
all
right,
so
I'm,
let's
I'm
gonna,
go
this
way
all
right,
so
derek.
B
A
Excellent
excellent:
sarah,
could
you
call
people
because
they
people
keep
moving
around
and
you're
managing
this
sure.
C
D
Irene,
yes,
hi,
a
pardon,
the
and
the
color
in
this.
My
camera
here
today
is
weird,
but
I'm
with
the
mental
health
board.
I've
been
on
it
for
about
six
years
now
and
very
involved,
I'm
a
social
worker
by
training
and
still
involved
in
that
professionally
and
have
done
a
lot
of
work
with
persons
with
mental
concerns,
mental
illness
and
mental
health
issues.
And
so
that's
where
a
lot
of
my
commitment
comes
from.
C
Thank
you,
hugo.
E
Thank
you,
sarah
hugo
rodriguez.
I
am
also
a
resident
of
the
eighth
ward
and
proud
to
be
an
evanstonian
for
the
last.
Almost
20
years
now
I
love
the
community.
I
love
to
serve
in
this
committee
and
hopefully
with
time,
make
a
difference
to
benefit
the
less
fortunate
within
our
communities.
F
I'm
sorry
I
apologize
that's
fine.
My
name
is
archna.
I've
been
on
the
mental
health
board
for
about
a
year
now
so
a
little
over
a
year.
Actually
I
started
through
as
part
of
nathan
who
I'm
not
seeing
here
right
now,
I'm
a
psychiatric
nurse
and
presently
I'm
in
school
for
my
psych
mental
health
nurse
practitioner.
So
I'm
hoping
to
be
more
involved
in
the
mental
health
needs
and
development
in
evanston
community.
F
I'm
doing
my
clinicals,
so
I
was
wire
zoom.
We
were
seeing
patients
with
my
preceptor,
who
is
a
psych
nurse
practitioner,
so
we
were
all
on
zoom
doing
patient
care
via
that.
A
F
A
G
I'm
I'm
melissa
wynn,
I'm
the
alderman
for
the
third
ward.
I'm
I've
been
serving
on
this
committee
for
the
last
three
years
three
years.
Yes,
traditionally
all
of
the
aldermen
who
have
target
areas
cdbg
target
areas
in
their
ward,
serve
on
this
committee
and
that
usually
fills
up
all
of
the
spots.
G
The
third
ward
doesn't
have
any
of
the
target
area
in
it,
so
there
was
an
aldermanics
seat
available
at
the
beginning
of
this
council,
and
I
was
very
excited
to
be
able
to
sit
on
cdbg,
because
I've
always
been
really
interested
in
this
subject.
So
I'm
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
and
I'm
really
interested
in
the
changes
that
we're
making
this
year
and
and
to
see
how
they,
how
this
rolls
out.
H
Sandy
johnson,
that
was
sandy
johnson.
I
live
in
the
first
ward
at
this
point
and
I'm
on
the
I've
been
on
the
mental
health
board
for
about
seven
and
a
half
years
right
now
and
I
was
trained
as
a
clinical
social
worker.
I
Thank
you,
I'm
don
wilson,
I'm
the
alderman
in
the
fourth
ward.
I
won't
have
everybody,
listen
to
my
12
years
of
reasons
for
doing
this,
but,
generally
speaking,
I
like
participating
in
this
committee,
and
I
have
been
the
entire
time
I've
been
on
the
council
because
we
do
support
a
wide
variety
of
needs
in
the
community
and
I
also
feel
like
it
helps
me
stay
dialed
into
what
those
what
those
needs
in
the
community
are.
J
Good
evening,
I'm
robin
I'm
the
ottoman
in
the
fifth
ward
and
we
do
have
an
impact
area.
I
have
been
on
the
committee
for
four
years
and
I
enjoyed
traditional
programming
that
might
have
been
funded
by
cdbg
type
dollars
in
my
upbringing.
I'm
a
product
of
family
focused
pro
programming
and
they
are
one
of
the
organizations
that
we
generally
support
so
happy
to
be
here.
K
Hi,
I'm
becky
and
I
am
in.
K
C
Thank
you,
I
think
that's
everybody
on
our
board
boards
or
commission
that
are
here.
Okay,.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
sarah
dan
wilson,
alderman
wilson.
Will
you
move
to
suspend
the
rules
and
read
the
governor's
thing.
I
G
D
Alderman
rainey,
I
derek.
B
C
D
I
A
Right
all
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
public
comment.
Last
I
heard
we
have.
No
one
signed
up
for
public
comment.
Has
that
changed.
L
A
I'm
sorry
as
participants,
if
there
are
no
objections
and
I'm
sure
there
are
none.
Yes,
please
invite
all
of
our
guests
in
and
if,
if
there
are
any
people
who
did
not
realize
I
had
to
sign
up,
please
invite
them
to
speak
and
get
their
names.
M
Okay
hi:
this
is
tina,
payton
hi,
I
hope
everyone's
well.
M
M
C
Sure
so
let
me
first
address
the
question
about
the
money
for
rapid
rehousing.
It
wasn't
it's
not
cdbg
cv,
it
is
actually
we
have
some
esg
cve
which
can
be
used
for
rapid
rehousing
and
can
be
used
for
prevention
funding.
Now
we've
allocated
50
000
dollars
for
prevention
funding,
which
is
to
help
people
who
are
in
housing,
but
who
can't
pay?
Rapid
rehousing
is
what
we
use
to
put
people
who
are
homeless
into
housing.
So
just
so
everybody
understands
the
difference.
C
The
there
is
need
for
more
prevention
money
than
our
500
000
or
anything
else.
To
tell
you
the
truth,
and
we
have
the
reason
we
were
thinking
of
seeing
if
we
should
move
it
to
rapid
rehousing
is
during
the.
C
One
of
the
things
about
esg
prevention
funding
is
it
can
help
tenants
for
a
much
longer
period
of
time
than
the
500
000
of
cdbg
funding,
cdbgcv
funding
that
is
being
used,
so
cdbgcv
can
be
used
for
only
up
to
six
months
of
assistance
for
rent
assistance
and
esg
can
actually
technically
be
up
to
24
months.
I
don't
think
we've
ever
used
it
for
that
long,
but
but
it
really
can
help
bridge
people
who
need
more
than
three
or
six
or
some
of
the
shorter
term
subsidies.
C
If
we
can't
use
that
chicago
waiver,
because
the
moratorium
seems
to
be
being
extended
time
and
time
and
time
again,
then
we
will
come
back
to
council
and
recommend
that
we
switch
it
to
rapid
rehousing,
but
we're
trying
to
take
care
of
that.
One
thing
about
the
city
manager,
saying
of
that
five
hundred
thousand
fifty
thousand
was
for
repairs.
C
I
I'm
not
aware
of
that
of
of
the
city
manager
saying
anything
about
that.
It
is
not
it
it's
not
how
any
of
the
money
is
allocated
of
that
500
450
000
is
allocated
for
direct
assistance,
in
other
words,
rent
assistance
that
goes
to
landlords
and
up
to
50
000
is
allocated
for
connections
to
use
for
staffing
costs.
Obviously,
when
you're
running
a
program
like
this,
you
have
to
do
intake.
C
You
have
to
do
case
management
and
there
is
a
lot
of
financial
management,
and
so
they
have
to
have
the
ability
to
implement
the
program.
So
that's
what
the
other
50
000
is
for.
M
Well,
that's
what
I
thought
and-
and
I
said
that
and
when
she
said
that
at
one
of
the
other
ward
meetings
I
was
confused
about
it.
Can
I
ask
another
question:
how
many
people
are
still
at
the
hotel
and
what
is
the
plan
for
that
and
are
you
taking
any
more
people
at
the
hotel
and
what
hotel
is
that.
C
C
and
there
are
different
people
there
who
need
different
types
of
subsidies
and
assistance,
and
so
some
are
actually
in
the
queue
for
permanent
supportive
housing.
For
example,
some
are,
will
be
eligible
or
could
be
housed
with
rapid
rehousing
or
something
like
that.
If
we
get
more
of
those
funds
and
there
can
be
rapid
rehousing
funding
that
comes
through
the
city,
there
can
also
be
rapid
re-housing
funding
that
comes
from
the
county
or
through
the
continuum
of
care.
C
So
there
are
multiple
sources
for
this,
so
anybody
on
that
in
the
hotel
is
on
the
waiting
list.
If
you
will
for
different
of
those
sorts
of
funding
sources
through
the
continuum
of
care,
it's
kind
of
complicated-
and
you
know,
quite
frankly,
there
aren't
enough
resources
fast
enough
for
all
the
needs.
So
it's
really
to
prioritize
the
people
with
the
needs,
the
deepest
need
to
get
them
to
the
services
they
need
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
it
isn't
as
quick
as
it
should
be.
A
Thank
you
tina
for
your
questions.
Are
there
any
more
people
in
the
in
the
waiting
for
questions.
L
E
Right
and
the
question
is,
since
this
funds
are
cdbg,
funds-
are
those
disbursements
to
rent
aid
following
the
guidelines
of
the
cdbe
funds
that
we
have
for
any
other
monies
that
we
use.
C
Not
exactly
this
is
cdbg
cv.
Through
the
cares
act,
they
made
a
bunch
of
changes.
Specifically,
they
used
the
federal
government
used
cdbg
as
a
mechanism
to
get
money
out
to
a
lot
of
communities
that
who
they
figured
would
need
help
because
all
of
the
popular
all
of
the
communities
that
get
cdbg
and
it's
about
12
about
1200
nationwide,
have
low
and
moderate
income
populations
that
are
that
qualify
for
it,
but
they
made
some
changes
to
the
regulations
for
this
cdbg
cv
money.
So
it's
normally
with
cdbg.
C
We
would
not
be
able
to
do
rent
assistance
for
six
months.
We
could
perhaps
do
rent
assistance
for
three
months,
but
it's
not
a
very
effective
mechanism
for
it,
and
I
gotta
tell
you:
there's
some
really
annoying
things
like
the
way
it
doesn't
fit.
Cdbg
is
first
and
foremost
of
was
designed
as
a
bricks
and
sticks.
You
know
community
development,
source
of
funding
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
The
way
it
works
for
services
is
not
as
flexible
as
a
lot
of
the
other
grants.
N
E
Thank
you,
and
it
is
that
you
know
my
concern
is
that
this
funds
then
get
allocated
to
areas
that
are
not
cdbg,
elected
or
conforming.
E
I'm
concerned
that
this
money
is
then
because
they're
under
a
bigger
umbrella
that
will
go
to
landlords
that
have
more
funds
than
the
the
landlords
that
are
within
the
the
cdbg
areas
that
we
have
already
designated
in
evanston,
that
that
would
be
my
concern
with
that.
Sarah.
C
Well,
cdbg,
when
you're
using
it,
for
what
we
have
to
do
is
use
it
for
income
eligible
households
in
this
case,
so
they
don't
have
to
be
restricted
to
our
target
area.
However,
the
way
we're
allocating
the
money-
we've
prioritized
three
census
tracts
that
at
for
the
first
phase
of
this
that
are,
in
fact
all
in
the
cdbg
target
area
and
so
we're
trying
to
we're
still
trying
to
target
our
money.
C
C
So
it's
pretty
much
all
the
south
side,
from
the
metro
tracks,
along
howard
and
and
between
howard
and
oakton
west,
to
the
west
side
of
town,
then
up
the
west
side
roughly
on
dodge,
but
not
exactly
to
about
maine
and
then
from
church
street
east
to
from
the
canal
to
green
bay
and
then
up
to
where
the
canal
and
green
bay
road
meet
so
the
heart
of
the
fifth
ward.
C
So
we
really
are
prioritizing
our
lowest
income
areas,
even
if
hud
didn't
make
us
do
it.
C
In
the
first
phase,
it's
it's
just
in
those
census,
tracts
where
there
are
more
small
landlords.
But
if
we
move
to
second
phase,
then
it
will
specifically
prioritize
small
local
landlords.
Yes,
we
just
don't
know
if
we'll
have
enough
money
to
get
to
that
second
phase.
C
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
real
quick
update,
because
if
I
can
find
it,
it
was
emailed
to
me
by
one
of
my
co-workers,
but
we
had
we've
gotten
40
people
had
contacted
through
the
city's
portal,
so
that
isn't
even
including
to
connections
directly.
We
have
city
staff
that
are
helping
with
this
and
we
had
more
than
I
think
we
had
40
people
who
who
contacted
us
on
the
first
day.
A
Anything
unfortunately,
hugo
anything
else
all
right,
so
let
me
clarify
the
the
agenda,
so
sarah
would
you
say
this
is
mostly
a
staff
presentation.
I
went
through
this
carefully
the
packet
and
I'm
I'm
not
certain
that
there's
any
action
on
the
part
of
the
committee.
A
Is
there
any
any
any
approvals
or
just
consensus.
C
A
There's
no
no
motions
to
approve
correct,
correct.
C
It
doesn't
require
action
and
we
also
we
didn't
want
formal
action.
We
also
didn't
do
things
like
put
an
approval
of
minutes,
because
we
didn't
want
to
have
separate,
because
then
we
would
have
to
convene
each
body
separately
to
approve
its
minutes
and-
and
that
didn't
seem
like
the
best
use
of
everybody's
time.
So.
A
E
B
A
All
right,
so
the
first
item
is
allocation
process
for
mental
health
board,
cdbg
public
services,
funds
etc
and
who's
going
to
take
on
that
presentation.
So.
L
And
bear
with
me:
hopefully
everyone
can
see
and
hear
so.
Yes,
thank
you.
Alderman
rainey,
this
joint
meeting
of
the
housing
and
community
development
act
committee
and
mental
health
board
is
to
update
everyone
on
the
new
unified
process
for
allocating
city
funding,
both
mental
health
board
and
cdbg,
to
provide
services
needed
by
evanston
residents
that
the
city
doesn't
provide
or
doesn't
need
to
meet
the
total
need
for
in
our
community.
L
L
L
So
this
started
with
our
social
services
corps
committee.
The
remaining
steps
in
the
social
service
corps
committee
recommendation
was
to
align
funding
for
external
agencies,
cdbg
public
services
and
mental
health
board
to
the
same
purpose,
to
provide
equitable
opportunity
to
residents
who
face
systemic
barriers.
L
I
I
can,
can
we
hold
questions
until
the
end?
I'm
so
sorry,
I
don't
want
people
to
lose
questions
and
you
know
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up,
because
people
can
type
questions
into
the
question
box
and
then
staff
can
address
them.
L
Okay,
so
the
social
services
core
committee,
the
city
city
staff,
has
sought
input
from
community
partners
as
represented
in
this
slide,
and
some
of
them
are
here
tonight.
So
that's
great.
L
These
partners
also
serve
many
of
the
same
underserved
populations,
as
indicated
by
their
responses
in
our
community
needs
assessment
survey.
L
L
L
The
single
biggest
barrier
to
accessing
services
was
the
lack
of
financial
resources
combined
with
unstable
housing,
no
health
insurance
and
the
inability
to
afford
child
care
or
not
having
education
or
training
for
higher
jobs.
The
people
with
complex
needs
and
fewest
resources
also
can't
navigate
our
fragmented
system
to
get
the
resources.
L
So
it's
heightened
the
need
for
an
equity
lens
over
three
times
as
many
black
respondents
than
white
respondents
report
that
they
are
not
sure
that
they
can
meet
average
household
expenses
and
over
twice
as
many
latina
latinx
households
as
white
households
are
finding
it
difficult
to
pay
for
basic
households
needs.
This
is,
according
to
the
us
census
pulse
survey
from
december
2020.
L
L
So
how
will
this
restructure
help?
The
goal
is
to
provide
robust
case
management
services
for
individuals
and
families
with
complex,
multi-faceted
needs.
These
services
would
be
funded
using
grants
support
services
identified
by
people
working
with
their
case.
Managers
would
be
accessed
rapidly,
even
if
the
client
doesn't
have
insurance
or
doesn't
meet
ccap
requirements
for
funding
assistance
that
these
services
would
be
provided
and
paid
for
on
a
fee
for
service
basis.
L
We're
also
looking
at
safety
net
services
like
providing
food
to
people
unable
to
afford
it
or
who
can't
shop
and
prepare
meals.
Domestic
violence,
services,
emergency
shelter,
street
outreach
and
drop-in
services
would
also
be
grant
funded.
These
services
meet
the
immediate
needs
and
work
to
connect
clients
with
case
management
for
deeper
services,
as
appropriate.
L
Case
managers
are
known
for
developing
a
holistic
case
management
plan
and
meet
meeting
regularly
with
the
participants
they
work
with.
To
assess
progress
towards
these
goals,
goals
could
include
increased
income
to
maintain
stable
housing
or
getting
training
to
qualify
for
higher
wage
jobs
or
even
getting
child
care.
L
Children's
outcomes
would
also
be
tracked.
Physical,
emotional,
health,
school
attendance
or,
through
you
know,
grade
achievement
or
attainment
the
relationships,
the
case
management
relationships
we
recognize
can
be
multiple
year
or
short,
depending
on
the
household's
challenges
to
achieving
self-sufficiency,
but
success
is
dependent
on
clients
having
timely
access
to
support
services.
L
L
It's
also
essential
that
we
maintain
safety
net
services,
including
homeless,
shelters,
street
outreach
and
drop-in
programs,
food
programs,
services
to
people
experiencing
domestic
violence.
These
services
are
also
critical
for
connecting
at-risk
residents
and
engaging
them
in
case
management
or
other
needed
services,
so
like
healthy
food
for
an
out-of-work
parent
who
can't
afford
groceries
and
pay
rent.
L
So
these
services
are
temporary
but
vital,
but
they
can
also
like
a
dv
shelter
that
helps
someone.
You
know
fleeing
an
abuser.
The
person
involved
in
services
might
need
a
temporary
alternative
to
returning
to
the
abuser
and
would
move
into
case
management
to
achieve
that
goal.
L
L
So
staff
met
with
35
agency
representatives
from
18
different
agencies
over
the
course
of
two
virtual
meetings
to
go
over
this
new
application
structure.
We
went
through
the
similar
presentation,
similar
to
the
one
we're
going
through
tonight,
followed
by
a
question
and
answer
session
and
discussion.
L
And
this
is
some
of
the
input
that
we've
received.
There
was
a
robust
and
interactive
discussion
at
each
meeting
we
used
jamboards,
which
is
a
visual
whiteboard
that
lets
people
comment
anonymously.
So
the
most
frequent
question
was:
how
does
my
agency
fit?
What
category
do
we
fall
under,
so
this
isn't
something
that
staff
is
going
to
dictate.
Instead,
we
are
going
to
the
agencies
are
going
to
make
those
choices
and
we're
going
to
have
smaller
group
discussions
and
one-on-one
conversations
with
agencies
to
support
them
through
this
application
process.
L
The
second
biggest
question
was
how
how
are
payments
going
to
work
and
how
does
this
affect
program,
reporting
and
measurements?
So
these
are
all
good
questions,
and
it's
important
to
you
know
include
this
information
in
the
application
which
we
hope
to
present
to
agencies
and
again
sort
of
work
work
with
the
agencies,
so
that
everybody
has
a
clear
understanding
of
the
process.
L
So
what
are
next
steps?
As
we
mentioned,
we
will
have
follow-up
meetings
with
agencies
and
we're
preparing
the
zoom
grads
applications
for
case
management
and
safety
net
services.
There
will
be
more
discussion
on
support
services,
including
identifying
key
services
and
working
out
payment
schedules
and
processes,
for
that.
L
Our
timeline
is
to
finalize
agreements
for
case
management
and
safety
net
services
by
june,
which
we
recognize
is
ambitious
and
and
then
we
can
identify
support
services
and
a
payment
system
for
those
services.
C
So
so
how
does
this
impact
our
allocation
process?
Is
the
next
question?
Well,
it's
different
from
what
we
have
done
in
the
past.
We
have
had
you
know
well
case
management
and
safety
nets
are
first,
let
me
case
management
and
safety.
Net
services
will
be
grant
funded
and
we
we're
recommending
using
a
combination
of
cdbg
and
mental
health
board
dollars.
Part
of
that
is
there's
a
cash
flow
reason.
C
Agencies
that
are
funded
entirely
through
cdbg,
even
when
we
say
you're
starting
your
work
on
an
estimated
grant
amount
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
we
don't
know
quite
when
we're
going
to
be
able
to
give
you
money,
we
frequently
end
up
giving
them
all
their
money
in
the
latter
half
of
the
year,
sometimes
in
a
single
payment,
because
of
when
we
get
our
money
from
hud.
C
That
puts
stresses
on
agencies,
and
let
me
tell
you
if
they
use
cash,
accounting
versus
grant-based
account,
I
mean
versus
accrual
accounting
and
they
have
a
july
first
fiscal
year.
It
also
leaves
them
with
a
problem
of
they
haven't
received
any
funding
at
in
the
january
through
june
period.
Then
they
they
can't
if
you're
using
cash
accounting,
you
can't
apply
any
of
the
funding
to
that
period
of
time,
so
it
also
can
mess
with
their
budgets.
C
I
think
the
cash
flow
part
is
probably
even
more
important,
but
both
parts
can
be
a
problem.
Support
services
would
be
funded
the
by
mental
health
board,
because
it's
infeasible
to
use
cdbg
on
either
a
on
a
fee
for
services,
basis
or
procurement.
You
can
do
competitive
procurement
with
cdbg
or
you
can
use
grant
agreements.
But
if
you
do
competitive
procurement,
you
have
to
open
it
to
the
world
nonprofits
and
for-profits,
basically,
whoever
we
can't
limit
the
competition.
C
C
So
we've
combined
agencies
are
applying
by
category
so
they're
not
applying
by
funding
source.
Because
of
the
way
we
have
to
use
the
funding
the
sources
to
make
this
process
work,
and
we
can't
really
have
separate
a
separate
mental
health
board
review
and
a
separate
housing
and
community
development
act
committee
review
that
staff
then
tries
to
combine
or
something
to
figure
out
who
to
fund
it
and
how
much
so
we're
going
to
need
to
have
a
cross-border
committee
group
to
deal
with
the
services
funding,
or
perhaps
it
should
be
a
committee
of
the
whole.
C
That's
something
that
I
think
is
very
much
up
to
the
board
and
the
committee
to
discuss
and
then
see
see
what
they
think
about.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
decided
at
this
meeting
necessarily
either,
but
that
I
think
you
know
it's.
It's
really
critical
and
it's
really
the
only
way
we
can
effectively
make
decisions
that
will
move
the
process
forward
and
and
focus
the
resources
on
people
of
greatest
needs
and
implement
this
new
process.
C
Now
we
are
working
on
developing
an
estimated
dollar
amount
that
might
work
for
each
category.
But,
quite
frankly,
I
don't
believe
that
that
should
be
fixed.
I
think,
even
if
we
recommend
one
and
what
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
is
develop
a
recommendation
to
bring
to
you
in
march
before
we
before.
We
actually,
you
know,
are
in
the
allocation
process
so
that
everybody
has
that
to
frame.
C
C
How,
even
if
we
do
an
estimate
for
each
category,
how
the
board
and
committee
might
want
to
actually
allocate
it
based
on
the
applications
that
we
receive.
We
also
will
have
a
better
idea
by
our
march
meeting
from
talking
to
agencies
how
they're
planning
to
apply
which
will
help
us
do
a
better
job.
If
we
were
to
do
it
right
now,
jessica
and
I
would
be
estimating
what
different
agencies
would
apply
for,
we
think
and,
and
frankly,
one
of
our
discussions
was
well.
C
C
Yes,
and
we
also
have
told
agencies
that,
if
they
want
to
apply
in
more
than
one
category,
they
can
just
as
they've
always
been
allowed
to
apply
for
more
than
one
program
programmer
service
in
the
past
process
to
either
mental
health
or
cdbg.
So
we
may
come
up
with.
We
had
one
question.
For
example:
can
we
do
joint
presentation,
joint
requests
and
that
would
perhaps
link
case
management
with
some
supportive
services
from
a
single
provider
that
they
would
give
us
propose
a
different?
You
know
a
joint
application,
for.
C
I
really
think
we
ought
to
look
at
all
the
ideas
that
our
agencies
have,
because
many
of
them
work
very
closely
and
that
could
be
a
very
efficient
and
effective
system
to
have
a
formalized
referral
process
for
certain
clients
that
would
get
them
into
those,
so
supportive
services
that
we're
talking
about.
So
there
still
are
quite
a
few
unknowns
and
I
don't
necessarily
think
we're
going
to
get
everything
perfect
by
a
long
way
in
the
first
year,
especially
in
a
year.
C
That's
as
challenging
to
everybody
as
this
one,
because
everybody's
still
reeling
from
club
19
and
still
trying
to
deal
with
the
that
additional
factor.
But,
as
you
can
see
from
all
of
the
statistics,
the
the
need
to
really
focus
our
funding
to
help
these
residents,
who
are
of
greatest
need,
I
think,
is
huge.
And
if
we
don't
start
now,
we'll
it'll
be
much
harder
to
start
changing
later
on.
C
C
I
put
one
in
the
core
committee
was
the
social
services
core
committee
that
it
was
the
staff
cross-departmental
staff
group
that
developed
recommendations
on
how
to
improve
the
city's
delivery
of
services
on
an
equitable
basis.
C
It
was
headed
up
by
kimberly
richardson
with
kathleen,
I
can't
think
of
her
name,
a
the
she's,
the
same
person
who
is
helping
guide
our
equity
work
right
now.
She
works
she's
at
uic
and
it
involved
people
from
who
at
the
time
were
in
parks,
recreation
and
community
services,
the
youth
and
young
adults
group.
It
included
audrey
washington's
group,
which
was
also
in
parks,
recreation
and
community
services.
C
At
that
time,
the
senior
programs,
as
well
as
our
human
services
staff
that
were
in
the
health
and
human
services
department,
it
it
moved
everybody
into
that
single
department,
so
under
one
sort
of
umbrella
to
better
coordinate
services.
So
that
was
the
first
step
and
then
the
this
is
the
next
step,
which
is
to
continue
that
and
expand
that
to
the
way
we
give
out
funding
to
external
agencies.
A
C
I
mean
I'm
not
saying
that
it
would
be
absolutely
if
you
said
you
were
you
hope
to
have
x.
People
do
this,
it
has
to
be.
We
have
to
see
progress
and
we
have
to
see
tracking,
it's
very
difficult
to
say.
L
So
becky
asked
if
we
could
give
an
example
of
a
family
with
complex
needs,
using
this
new
model
of
care.
An
initial
referral
for
need.
K
Just
that's
an
example:
what
looking
for
lola.
C
Well,
one
example
is
a
family
who,
currently,
the
the
wage
earner
or
earners,
are
not
making
enough
money
to
have
stable
housing
and
they're
working,
multiple
jobs
they
may
have,
and
they
have
children
who
they
can't
afford
child
care
for,
but
they
haven't
been
able
to
access
funding
for
child
care,
or
it
may
be
something
like
their.
They
can't
find
child
care
services
that
are
at
the
time
of
day.
They
need
that
sort
of
thing.
C
C
The
driver
of
it
is,
they
simply
don't
have
enough
money
and
resources
to
get
those
needs
so
that
the
individual
needs
can
be
obviously
different
among
them.
Does
that.
K
Because
that's
my
experience
as
most
people
have
complex
needs,
it's
never
one
simple
thing
or
one
service
needed.
So
in
that
example,
that
you
gave
will
there
be?
I
mean
that
sounds
like
based
upon
what
I'm
understanding
the
new
formula
is
based
upon
her.
That
family's
need
would
be
child
care,
job
creation.
K
C
The
idea
is
the
case,
manager
will
be
making
linkages
and
actually
being
able
to.
You
know,
send
get
the
the
services
in.
Let
me
try
another
example:
situations
where
people
need
some
kind
of
health
care.
It
can
be
mental
health,
it
can
be
physical
health,
it
can
be
everything,
but
mental
health
is
is
one
of
the
most
common
ones.
They
can't
get
into
mental
health
services
oftentimes
very
rapidly
because
they
don't
have
insurance
or
any
other
way
of
payment.
C
One
of
the
things
is
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
say,
and-
and
this
is
we-
we
discussed
what
the
fee
schedule
would
be
right
with
agencies,
but
be
able
to
start
somebody
in
services
paying
for
it
and
then
the
case
managers
who
usually
work
to
try
to
get
them
onto
insurance
or
whatever,
to
sustain
that.
C
Similar
things
could
work
with
child
care,
where
a
short-term
subsidy
can
sometimes
help
when
you
have
a
family
where
isn't
eligible
for
ccap,
because
the
for
eligibility
for
that
you
either
have
to
be
in
school,
full-time
or
working,
and
if
somebody's
looking
for
a
job
and
has
children
but
could
get
a
maybe
a
three
month
period
of
time
where
they
get
a
scholarship,
so
they
can
find
a
job
and
get
established.
And
then
transition
to
ccap
is
another
idea
of
how
this
could
work.
L
K
K
C
They
could
be
because
in
many
cases
case,
managers
are
already
referring
them
to
get
other
services,
but
they
don't,
but
they
may
need
either
some
money
to
get
into
some
of
those
services
or
they
may
find
that
a
program
is
full
and
how
can
they
go
to
another
one?
They
just
go
all
over
the
you
know
they
get
routed
around
so
part
of
it
is
to
set
up
referrals
that
are
organized
in
advance.
Shall
we
say
to
try
to
get
people
into
services
and
if
okay.
K
C
G
K
Yes,
like
I,
I
know
as
being
on
the
mental
health
board,
where
trilogy
you
know
or
connections,
will
make
many
referrals
to
trilogy,
but
then
it
stops
right.
The
client
doesn't
quite
make
it
to
truly
trilogy,
even
though
they've
been
referred
so
right
this
time
there
will
be
some
resources
or
more
support
right
to
ensure,
I
think,
that's
okay,.
A
C
Well,
one
of
the
good
things
about
cdbg
when
you
work
with
external
agencies
is,
there
is
a
don't
ask,
don't
tell
they
don't
have
to
require
checking
citizenship
or
legal
status
in
this
country,
which
we
actually
have
to
do
if
the
city
implements
its
its
own
programs,
so
that
the
services
are
really
open
to
people
who
are
not
citizens
because
mental
health
board
funding
I
mean
locally.
C
We've
never
put
up
that
restriction
on
the
use
of
mental
health
board
funds
either,
but
by
giving
our
cdbg
to
agencies,
we
allow
them
that
same
flexibility.
So
we
that's.
We
don't
screen
for
that.
C
Well,
we
can't
give
our
own
ga
and
ea
to
certain
undocumented
people,
which
is
why
we
set
up
that
separate
fund
at
the
city
to
try
to
do
you
know
that's
an
example,
and
there
are
other
programs
that
have
restrictions
too.
I
don't
honestly
know
all
of
them,
but
it's
an
ongoing
challenge
to
figure
it
out,
and
the
other
thing
is:
if
you
can
do
some
things,
but
you
can't
do
all
things
through
a
single
program
or
channel
it
becomes
a
real
pain
too.
C
On
citizenship
or
legal
status
requirement
and
and
that
again
well,
that's
one
of
the
reasons
our
rent
assistance
program
is
being
implemented
by
connections
for
the
homeless.
Again,
then
they
don't
have
to
do
that.
C
E
Hugo
has
a
question.
Yes,
I
do
and
it's
a
follow-up
on
the
u.s
citizen
non-us
citizen
question:
is
there
anything
that
the
city
of
evanston
can
do
to
become
more
embracing
of
people
that
are
non-us
citizens
right
now
and
be
more
open
to
promote
that?
We
don't
ask
that
it's
like.
Don't
ask,
don't
tell
it's
like
don't
say
it
and
you
know
people
that
have
no
documentation
are
in
fear.
E
They
see
a
a
police
car
turning
the
corner
and
their
legs
start
shaking
so
it
in,
and
I
think
I
think
that
maybe
the
the
city
of
evanston
could
become
a
true
sanctuary
for
non-us
citizens.
I
know
that
we
use
that
term,
but
if
we
are
sh
about
it,
are
we
really
giving
the
right
message
with
that.
C
Well,
maybe
that
wasn't
the
best
comparison,
I
mean
we
don't
really
we
we
don't.
We
don't
ask
at
least
when
we're
doing
our
services
through
or
not
profits.
If,
if
we're
doing
general
assistance,
my
understanding
is
that
that
then
we
are
required
to
to
ask
that
we
don't
have
a
choice
because
that's
a
requirement
of
general
assistance,
so
the
the
challenge
is
how
to
convince
people
who
have
been
frankly
intimidated
and
made
to
believe
that
everybody
is
out
really
not
open
to
helping
them
by
some
recent.
C
C
I
know
you
were
help
offered
to
help
the
census
number
of
times
and
I
couldn't
connect
and
get
you
as
involved
as
I
would
like,
but
we
work
with
stephanie
mendoza
and
the
latino
outreach
latino
resources,
whatever
the
name
of
that
nonprofit
is,
is
one
of
the
groups
that
we're
working
with
and
we're
going
to
just
continue
to
do
that.
The
challenge
is
how
to
overcome
and
grain
fears
that
that
have
been
fostered
over
a
long
period
of
time.
C
I
don't
have
the
authority
to
recommend
that
we
become
a
sanctuary
city.
We
are
a
welcoming
city
and
I
think
that
that's
a
little
above
my
pay
scale
to
determine
if
we're
going
to
do
more
than
that,
so
I'll.
N
Remember,
thank
you
I'll
just
be
real
brief,
hello,
mr
rodriguez,
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
meet.
There
is,
and
I
I
apologize,
I'm
listening
on
two
meetings.
At
the
same
time.
Sarah
can
you
please
put
my
number
in
mr
rodriguez
is
so
we
can
get
in
touch.
So
there
is
a
immigrant
community
that
did
you
already
talk
about
that's
meeting
on
a
weekly
basis.
I
get
you
plugged
into
that.
In
the
past,
we've
had
meetings
at
st
mary's
church,
where
we've
brought.
N
A
number
of
the
elected
officials,
along
with
spanish-speaking
police
officers,
just
to
explain
you
know
what
their
role
is
in
terms
of
law
enforcement.
They
do
not.
I
don't
think
anyone
that
you
could
come
up
with
has
ever
been
arrested
and
turned
into
ice
by
our
city
of
evanston
police
department.
So
I
hear
and
understand
the
concern
and
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you
outside
of
the
meeting.
Just
so
you
can
be
a
ambassador
for
all
the
wonderful
things
that
we
are
doing,
particularly
for
the
spanish
speaking
community,
so
sarah's.
I
Thank
you
thank
you
and,
and
I
think
we
kind
of
covered
it
a
bit,
but
we
you
know
the
city
council
did
pass
a
sanctuary,
sydney,
provision
and
policy,
and
not
only
that,
but
once
we
kind
of
looked
at
that
more
closely,
we
made
some
amendments
to
that
to
clarify
and
make
it
even
stronger
that
we
don't
stop
people
without
you
know
a
warrant
or
you
know
specifically
probable
cause.
I
So
we
you
know,
have
tried
to
do
that
and
in
addition,
we
also
the
attorney
general
united
states
attorney
general
made
some
threats
as
far
as
possibly
withholding
funding
from
cities
like
evanston
because
of
our
policy,
and
we
took
a
very
strong
position
on
that
and
we
were
actually
the
lead
plaintiff
in
suing
jeff
sessions.
Who
was
the
attorney
general
at
the
time?
So
we
filed
a
lawsuit
to
challenge
that
and
fight
back
against
that,
and
we
won
that
lawsuit
together
with
a
coalition
of
other
other
cities.
I
So
you
know,
peter,
you
know
kind
of
covered
that
so
it's
important
to
try
to
get
that
word
out
in
the
community
that
we
do
have
this
strong
position
to
be
supportive
and-
and
we
are
willing
to
fight
for
for
those
rights
of
of
individuals
in
our
community
who
you
know
otherwise,
might
feel
threatened.
A
Okay,
another
thing
that
was
in
the
chat
was
desperate
need
for
more
street
outreach,
especially
for
the
homeless,
and
I
don't
know,
as
far
as
I
can
see,
nobody's
doing
that
in
the
areas
that
I'm
on
the
street,
and
so
I
I
hope,
there's
some
special
attention
to
be
paid
to
that.
C
I
think
that
we're
going
to
see
different
needs
or
are
our
balance
of
needs
is
going
to
be
different
for
this
year
and
probably
next
as
we're.
You
know
seeing
how
we
come
out
of
cloven
19,
because
you're
right,
it
has
we've
had
a
huge
increase
in
our
homeless
population
that
is
and
more
problems
with
how
they
can
be
served
and
tina
pointed
out.
We,
you
know,
I
mean
just
by
asking
how
many
people
are
still
in
hotels.
C
We
can't
get
people
out
of
the
shelter
into
permanent
housing
fast
enough
for
complex
reasons
too,
but
that's
a
good
point.
Alderman
rainey.
Thank
you.
I
see
there's
another
question
in
the
chat
about
changing
this
model
to
focus
on
persons
with
complex
needs.
Not
the
agency
makes
me
wonder
if,
as
many
persons
will
be
served
thoughts,
and
will
some
persons
currently
serve
lose
service,
I
don't
it
isn't
the
intent
of
the
process
for
anyone
to
lose
services.
It
will
depend
partly
on
how
agencies
respond
and
how
they.
C
You
know
how,
because
most
agencies
serve
way
more
people
than
are
served
only
with
our
money
already
for
multiple
programs.
So
we
are
going
to
be
focusing
our
money
on
certain
or
on
fewer
people,
so
that
we
can
actually
take
care
of
their
multiple
needs
and
hopefully
move
them
to
self
sustaining
and
fulfilling
lives
in
a
way
that
we
haven't
been
succeeding
at
so
I
think
we're
going
to
count
fewer
people,
but
one
of
the
other
challenges
is
right.
C
We
will
probably
be
counting
fewer
people
as
served
specifically
by
the
funded
activities,
but
there
will
be
greater
depth
of
service,
which
is
something
that
we
talk
about.
Sometimes
when
we're
trying
to
evaluate
programs.
You
know,
if
somebody
does
a
one-time
meeting
with
somebody
versus
works
with
them
for
a
year
to
help
them
improve
their
overall
situation.
C
You
know
we're
going
to
count
more
people
for
one
time
assistance,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
really
moving
the
needle
and
making
really
fixing
people's
situation,
because
we're
not
really
counting
the
other
things
that
they
may
be
getting
and
being
able
to
attribute
the
progress
to
the
programming
that
they're
receiving
or
not.
We
they're.
You
know.
We
just
know
that
somebody
got
one
touch
point.
A
Okay,
any
more
questions
from
the
various
the
two
committees.
A
All
right,
sarah,
do
you
have
what's
your
next
step.
C
C
But
we
will
prepare
that
our
goal
is
to
open
that
application
before
the
end
of
march
and
then
be
able
to
hopefully
move
quickly
to
get.
You
know,
because
agencies
have
are
learning
about
this
process,
they're
already
thinking
about
what
they're
going
to
apply
for,
so
that
we
can
get
applications
to
the
board
and
the
committee
for
review.
I
do
think
that
we
are
our
normal
cdbg
committee
meeting
would
be
on
the
16th
of
march,
which
is
conveniently
within
our
128
day
month.
C
That
keeps
it
the
same
day,
and
if
we
could
have
a
joint
meeting,
then
we
would
take
everybody
through
where
we
are
on
everything
and
also
hopefully
get
agreement
on
how
to
structure
the
allocation
review
committee
or
the
application
review
and
allocation
committee.
B
C
I
mean
from
from
our
meeting
it
seemed
like
every
agency
we
didn't
get.
Absolutely
all
agencies
didn't
send
representatives,
but
everybody
seemed
interested
in
applying,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
have
roughly
the
same
number
of
agencies,
which
I
think
is
about
20.
C
Some
agencies
have
multiple
programs.
So
what
happens
is
in
my
head?
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
many
sub-recipient
or
grant
agreements
we
did,
and
sometimes
you
know
a
single
agency
will
have
multiple
programs
so
that
doesn't,
I
can't
do
doop
in
my
head
fast
enough.
One
of
the
things
we
also
think
may
happen
is
some
agencies
may
ask
for
funding
for
other
service
for
certain
services.
They
provide
that
aren't
the
ones
that
they've
always
been
funded
for
in
the
past.
Based
on
on
that.
C
Well,
those
will
be
we
want
to
open
by
the
end
of
march.
H
H
We're
and
then
they
would
have
what
would
it
be
about
a
month
to
apply
or.
C
Whatever
what
we
have
usually
we've
given?
Well,
usually
we
have
a
two-step
process.
We
have
the
letter
of
intent
and
I
don't
think
we'll
do
that
two-step
process
we'll
just
open
the
applications.
I
don't
think
we'll
need
necessarily
a
two-step
process
because
we're
going
to
be
talking
with
agencies
and
we'll
be
getting
an
idea
of
what
we
think
they're
going
to
be
applying
for
which
is
really
what
that
letter
of
intent
was
designed
to
do,
try
to
figure
out.
C
So
we
could
figure
out
how
to
structure
the
hearing
meetings
where
we,
you
know
where
the
board
and
the
committee
could
hear
from
the
agencies
and
ask
questions.
So
you
know
our
our
goal
is,
as
we
say,
to
get
applications
in
and
do
with.
The
review
meetings.
Well,
probably
would
be
the
very
end
of
april
and
then
possibly
into
may
and
then
get
the
funding
recommendations
that
can
be
taken
to
city
council.
C
H
Really
so
it
would
be
for
the
basically
july
1st
that
the
funding
would
be
available.
C
Yes,
but
we
also,
depending
on
how
organizations
apply
and
if
they're
applying
for
something
that
they
are
already
doing
and
can
track,
we
can
with
cdbg.
Technically
we
can
make
funding
retroactive
to
the
start
of
our
fiscal
year
and
one
of
the
things
we're
hearing
from
agencies
is,
if
they
can,
if
some
of
the
well
I'll
use
an
example
of
of
somebody,
who's
already
doing
case
management.
C
Now
we
want
to
be
able
to
get
new
people
into
case
management,
but
we
also
know
that
they're
already
working
with
people
who
meet
the
the
description
of
the
of
the
individuals
and
households
we're
trying
we
we
are
seeking
to
help
so
it's
possible
that
we
can
consider
whether
or
not
they
can
put
some
of
their
funding
back
to
the
pre-time.
But
that's
more
an
accounting
thing.
Do
you
know
what
I'm
saying
it's
to
try
to
help
deal
with
their
fiscal
years
and
things
like
that?
It
doesn't
you
know
we
we.
C
Can't
I
guess
that
the
ones
that
are
easiest
to
potentially
say
could
put
funding
back
to
an
earlier
point
and
could
be
more
easily
counted
which
we
did
like
in
2020.
C
We
did
that
for
actually
all
our
agencies,
with
both
mental
health
board,
funding
and
cdbg
because
of
the
all
of
our
timing
of
funding
released,
was
delayed
in
2020,
and
we
were
able
to
do
that
could
possibly
be
done
with
say,
safety
net
services,
which
are
much
more
likely
to
be
very
similar
to
the
to
the
services
that
programs
that
some
of
the
agencies
are
being
funded
for.
H
So
I
I
guess
I
missed
something:
were
the
agencies
funded
as
of
last,
you
know
we
missed
out
on
several
months,
or
at
least
we
hadn't
met
so
did
agencies
receive
funding.
H
Okay,
so
you
based
it
on
the
previous
year's
recommendations.
C
And
all
those
were
released.
Yeah.
Thank
you.
I
know
it's
really
hard
to
even
remember
what
fiscal
year
we're
in
sometimes
I
mean
that's
what
I'm
finding
we
keep
saying
last
year.
Oh
no
last
year
was
2020
not
2019.
You
know
that
I
feel
like
we
missed
a
year
almost
in
some
cases.
A
Okay,
where
are
we
right
now
we're
you
want
to
move
out
of
this
and
go
into
any
kind
of
staff
report
you
might
have?
Are
we
finished
with
the
new
changes.
C
We
are
finished
unless
there
are
any
other
questions
and
we
actually
already
talked
about
the
thing
that
I
would
have
just
provided.
A
brief
staff
update
on
which
was
the
the
rent
assistance
program.
So.
A
Anybody
last
call
anybody
have
any
other
questions.
I'm
really
interested
in
this
on
the
the
street
service
just
really
interested
just
I
I
think
our
issues
are
getting
worse
and
worse
and
more
serious,
I
mean
I'm
getting
very
concerned
that
we're
going
to
start
finding
bodies
on
our
street
and
that
that
is
going
to
be
just
a
horrific
situation.
A
Just
just
I
mean
devastating
and
you
know
there's
there's
nothing
that
an
individual
can
really
do.
We
can
call
the
police,
we
can
call
connections,
but
there
needs
to
be
intervention
before
we're
at
that
point,
and
you
know
it's
just
I
I
just
I
mean
in
the
south
end
of
town,
it's
getting
very
serious
and
there's
just
nothing.
A
You
know
people
are
knocking
on
doors
now
saying
they
need
a
place
to
sleep
and
there's
no
place
to
sleep
so,
and
I
know
we're
talking
about
a
shelter
but
very
serious,
so,
okay,
so
so
we
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
I
hate
to
leave
all
you
beautiful
people,
but
if
we
have
no
further
business,
I
will
entertain
that.
I
A
And
the
work
accomplished
to
get
to
this
point
is
very
intense
and
we
appreciate
it
very
much.
Thank
you.
Mental
health.
