Nice
great
well,
then,
let's
call
the
meeting
to
order,
as
we
officially
have
a
core
now
for
everybody
who
didn't
get
the
memo
chair
holds,
for
I
will
not
be
able
to
make
it
tonight,
so
I
will
be
stepping
in
as
vice
chair
to
chair
the
meeting.
B
All
right,
I
think
we
need
a
roll
call.
Then
right,
jess.
A
Yes,
we
do
so
cherry
honey.
B
E
A
C
D
B
Guys,
let's
move
forward
now
to
the
public
comment
at
this
time.
If
there
is
anybody,
who'd
be
interested
in
either
putting
a
message
in
the
chat
as
a
public
comment
or
joining
the
panel
to
speak
to
the
group,
please
raise
your
hand
and
indicate
so.
B
B
A
B
Wonderful
all
right:
let's
move
to
item
number
five,
which
is
the
staff
report.
Zoom
grants,
reporting
working
group
update.
F
B
F
Start
off
with
one
thing:
that
is
a
frustration
to
us
all.
It
is
we're
over
one
quarter
of
the
way
through
the
fiscal
year,
2022
the
federal
fiscal
year
2022
and,
of
course,
they
have
not
yet
approved
their
appropriations
bills
or
passed
a
federal
budget
for
the
fiscal
year
22,
which
leaves
us
waiting
to
find
out
what
our
cbg
allocation
will
be
still
just
so.
The
the
continuing
resolution
that
the
government
is
operating
under
right
now
expires
on
the
18th
of
this
month.
F
Some
people
are
expecting
that
it's
more
likely
that
they
will
pass
a
full
year
continuing
resolution,
so
we
will
be
basically
getting
very
close
to
what
likely
very
close
to
what
we
got.
There's
always
some
change
in
the
formula
every
year.
F
So
I
don't
think
it
will
dramatically
affect
our
estimates
of
our
budget,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
people
aware
of
it
that
our
budget
will
still
be
lower
if
it
is
that
than
it
would
was
in
2021,
because
in
2021
we
had
that
additional
reallocation
of
2020
cdbg
to
cares
act
uses
that
gave
us
a
little
over
124
000
more
than
we
normally
would
have,
and
that
cares
act.
Reallocation
to
provide
the
ability
to
use
more
for
public
services
only
applied
to
the
2019
and
2020
cdbg
funds.
F
So
it
doesn't
apply
to
any
unexpected
2021
cd
funds
we
can't
get.
We
can't
do
that
again,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
that
and
then
jessica's
got
some
other
additional
staff
report
stuff.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
all
agencies
have
submitted
reports,
with
the
exception
of
the
housing
authority
of
cook
county
and
the
hack
due
to
the
late
release
of
funds,
is
going
to
begin
their
case
management
program,
which
was
a
partnership
to
provide
case
management
services
to
residents
of
the
hack
owned
buildings,
perlman
and
walter.
A
A
Great
agencies
really
worked
hard
in
an
incredibly
short
period
of
time
and
a
trying
period
of
time
to
provide
a
wealth
of
information,
not
only
around
the
number
of
participants
they
served,
but
also
around
those
extra
metrics
that
that
we
asked
about
service
plans
for
case
management
agencies
and
the
number
of
times.
Those
service
points
are
updated
and
referrals
and
then
for
safety
net
agencies.
Again
a
lot
of
information
about
additional
referrals
and
and
who
was
able
to
access
additional
supports
whether
it
was
within
the
agency
or
externally.
A
So
I
will
have
sort
of
the
spreadsheet
of
report
information
that
the
committee
can
review
at
the
march
meeting,
but
but
really
kudos
to
all
of
the
agencies.
It
was
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
we
appreciate
it.
A
We
also
there's
been
talk
of
arba
funds,
and
the
city
is
in
conversation
with
the
evanston
early
childhood
council
to
explore
ways
that
arpathons
can
be
used
to
sort
of
help.
Our
early
child
care
providers
and
the
reason
that
I'm
mentioning
it
in
this
meeting
is
because
those
decisions
might
come
through
the
social
services
committee.
A
Some
of
the
social
service
projects
that
have
been
discussed
at
the
council
level
have
a
programmatic
component,
but
then
they
also
have
our
bricks
and
sticks
like
a
capital,
improvements
or
capital
facilities,
project
component,
and
that
would
most
likely
go
through
the
housing
and
community
development
committee,
and
so
we're
exploring
ways
to
present
good
information
to
this
committee
and
to
hcdc,
possibly
through
some
joint
meetings,
which
many
of
you
are
familiar
with.
So
we
also
have
good
news
around
esg
cv,
so
esg,
I'm
not
sure.
A
A
So
the
city
is
on
track
to
reach
its
expenditure,
deadlines
for
esg
cv,
the
city
partnered,
with
connections
for
the
homeless
and
the
bulk
of
our
esgcv
funding,
went
toward
rapid
rehousing
a
little
bit
toward
prevention
and
and
then
funding
for
case
management.
There
was
also
money
for
hmis
the
homeless
management
information
system,
which
we,
which
is
managed
by
the
alliance,
to
end
homelessness
in
in
suburban
cook
county,
which
is
the
city's
continuum
repair.
A
A
Our
original
the
original
deadline
was
the
end
of
march
and
the
extension
is
through
september
of
this
year,
but
we
hope
we
don't.
We
don't
think
we're.
Gonna
know
that.
F
March
is
the
eighty
percent
expedition,
so
the
it's
a
little
more
time
than
that,
but
some
of
you
may
not
really
be
familiar
with
esg
cv.
That
was
one
of
the
cares
act,
funding
things
normally
just
to
give
you
perspective.
Normally
we
get
about
150
000
in
esg
every
year
our
normal
esg
grant
our
esg
cv
was
966
thousand
three
hundred
and
fourteen.
I
have
some
of
these
numbers
really
ground
into
my
head.
F
I've
seen
them
so
many
times,
so
it
was
a
huge
additional
amount
of
funding
and
the
primary
purpose
was
to
because
of
the
impact
of
kovid
on
increasing
the
homeless
population.
F
You
know
it
was
all
of
this
was
released
to
address
the
threat
of
coven
and
most
of
it,
as
jessica
said,
was
used
for
rapid
rehousing,
which
is
really
a
rent
subsidy
to
put
people
into
their
own
housing
into
apartments,
and
so,
in
a
number
of
cases,
individual
households
are
getting
up
to
two
years
of
rent
subsidy
while
they
get
back
on
their
feet,
but
it
was
a
pretty
major
part
of
the
early
response
to
program
19.
A
Thank
you
meetings
and
ramble
on,
so
I
appreciate
sarah
kind
of
bringing
me
back
so,
but
I
think
that's
all
we
have
for
staff
report.
My
craft.
B
B
Okay,
we
can
move
on
then
to
item
number
six,
which
is
support.
Services
sounds
like
sarah
jessica
there's.
Some
receipts
get
some
direction
for
the
allocation
of
this
200
000
for
support
services
that
correct
item
a.
E
So
sorry,
no,
so
this
is
only
a
comment
because
child
care
was
mentioned
so
you
know
we
councilman
reed
and
I
have
talked
a
lot
about
the
idea
of
supporting
family
members
who
are
providing
child
care
for
other
family
members
to
to
to
be
a
eligible
to
receive
arpa
funding
of
some
sort
to
support.
So,
basically
broadening
how
we
view
you
know:
child
care
providers
and
obviously
there's
there's
other
things
that
that
they're
going
to
that.
E
So
with
somebody,
you
know
for
someone
to
qualify
to
to
be
a
official
private
works
child
care
provider.
But
that
is
something
that
I
would
love
to
to
learn
more
about.
If
we
could,
if
I'm
not
sure
what
what's
the
agency
again,
that's
that's
working
on
that
on
bringing
back
some
recommendations
for
arbor
funding.
I
can't
recall.
F
There
are,
I
think,
26
child
care
providers
in
that,
and
I
you
know
I
would
be
very
happy
to
talk
with
both
of
you
about
this
idea.
You
know
because
it's
something
that
one
of
the
things
is
there
are
a
lot
of
needs
and
services
that
aren't
necessarily
completely
covered
by
just
that
council
and
the
members
of
it,
although
they
do
an
amazing
amount
of
work
and
and
yeah,
but
so
maybe
three
of
us,
you
know
jessica
could
set
up
time
to
talk.
E
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
burns,
councilman
burritas,
so
you
had
your
hands
up
too.
C
C
If
there's
an
itemized,
you
know
somewhat
itemized
list
of
the
expenditures.
That'd
be
really
helpful.
F
We
are
in
the
process
of
putting
together
the
absolutely
we
can
get
that
to
you.
That
is
one
of
the
things
that
is
in
will
be
in
the
consolidated
annual
performance
and
evaluation
report
that
we're
working
on
for
hud.
That's
part
of
our
of
every
year.
We
do
these
reports
and
the
cares
act.
Funding
will
be
included
in
that.
I'm
sure
we
can
get
you
something
simpler,
because
you
don't
necessarily
need
that
huge
document,
but
absolutely
we
can
get
you
information
on
that.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
reid,
actually,
sarah,
that's
an
interesting
I'd,
be
interested
in
seeing
that
document
too.
Is
that
something
that
you
could
share
with
the
broader
committee
as
well,
or
is
it
something
that
would
potentially
be
quickly
with
you
at
the
next
service.
B
All
right,
so
that
was
that,
was
we
circled
back
quickly
to
item
number
five
for
the
staff
report,
so
I
think
there's
there
are
no
other
comments
at
this
time.
On
that
we
can
now
move
forward
to
item
six,
which
is
support
services,
sarah
jessica
I'll.
Let
you
take
it
away
with
item
number
eight.
B
A
A
This
is
just
a
brief
overview
of
the
working
group
that
was
established
in
december.
The
working
group
was
composed
of
council
member
burns
and
chair
oldspray.
A
They
met
briefly
in
december
to
review
the
report
structure
for
case
management
and
safety
net
services,
and
then
they
met
with
agencies
in
january,
so
they
met
with
the
case
management
agencies,
january
5th
and
the
safety
net
agencies
january
7th
to
hear
any
concerns,
thoughts,
challenges
with
the
new
report
structure
and
since,
even
though
we
did
not
have
quorum,
that
meeting
was
recorded
and
the
work
of
the
working
group
was
discussed.
B
B
No
okay
jessica.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
yeah,
put
putting
the
side
up
to
help
kind
of
jog
my
memory
here,
or
was
this
and
the
last
time
we
didn't
have
an
official
meeting,
and
I
don't
remember
if
the
meeting
minutes
were
tracked
but
in
january,
but
was
this
the
one
where
we
were
discussing
kind
of
the
data
elements
and
we
were
talking
about
adding
like
the
education
education
layer
asking
about
education
later
for
those
seeking
support
services?
And
I
think
there
are
a
couple
other
follow-ups.
A
Yes,
yeah,
so
I'm
happy
to
go
over
the
report
components
as
they
stand
now.
I'm
sorry.
I
did
not
make
any
changes
to
the
reports
based
on
any
discussion
that
happened
in
january.
I
apologize,
but
we
can
revisit
that.
B
Yeah,
could
we
and
then
I
don't
know
if
we
yeah
if
we
have
the
whole,
since
we
have
a
courtroom
with
the
committee,
maybe
that's
something
we
can
quickly
review
again
and
for
anybody
who
was
not
on
last
time.
B
Reviewing
the
data
set
so
for.
A
Case
management,
those
report
components
include
numbers,
served
service
plans
created
updates
to
those
service
plans.
The
number
of
contacts
that
case
managers
had
with
participants
and
again
that
was
a
rough
estimate
for
some
agencies
is
not
necessarily
specific
down
to
the
number
referrals
and
the
referral
partners,
outcomes
successful
and
then
you
know
voluntary
exits
programs
and
for
safety
net
services.
A
The
report
components
included.
The
number
served
the
number
of
service
hours
and
types
of
services,
any
referral
types,
whether
those
were
internal
to
deeper
services
within
the
agency
or
external
referrals
to
partners
and
information
about
those
partners,
information
about
and
again
successful
and
voluntary
exits
of
services.
A
So
and
I'm
happy
if
committee
members
had
questions,
I
do
have
sort
of
a
brief
overview
of
you
know:
agencies
and
the
numbers.
They've
reported
it's
kind
of
a
lot
of
information,
which
is
why,
after
review,
sarah-
and
I
thought
it
would
be
better
to
present
this
information
in
more
depth
in
march.
But
agencies
really
really
did
a
great
job
and
came
through
with
with
pretty
consistent
numbers
and
data.
B
A
Were
there
and-
and
I
apologize
for
not
having
this
off
the
top
of
my
head
if
there
were
components
that
committee
members
wanted
to
add
to
reporting
around
education
gains
or
anything
else,
I'm
happy
to
start
taking
notes
and
and
chatting
it
up
with
agencies
about
that
moving
forward.
B
Yeah
I
thought
that
would
be
an
interesting
component
to
capture
just
to
see.
If
that
is
there
any
impacts
or
any
trends
that
can
be
spotted.
That
way,
I
I
don't.
I
thought
there
was
some
one
other
one
that
somebody
else
recommended
last
time.
It's
it's
escaping
me
right
now,
but
yeah
we
did
talk
about
education.
There
was
one
other
thing.
E
And
sure
I
may
have
missed
this
for
a
second
but-
and
I
know
you
had
some
good
demographic
additions
that
we
wanted
to
capture
moving
forward.
Did
we
get
those
in
there.
A
Yes,
we
did
so
the
demographics
that
we
captured.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
looking
for
those
notes
that
that
was,
I
believe,
about
successful
completions
of
service
plans
and
then
voluntary
exits.
B
Yeah
yeah,
just
I
think
it
was
that
now
I
remember
we
wanted
to
also
see
if
we
could
capture
it,
if,
if
somebody
exits
a
program
or
an
agency
and
then
goes
to
another
agency
trying
to
see
if
there's
that
that
transfer
of
services
and
potentially
to
understand
to
understand
why
that
would
happen
or
why
that
would
be
the
case.
I
think
that
was
the
other
data
element
that
we
were
thinking
about.
E
F
We
do
we
do
have
to
capture
income
information,
that's
one
of
the
requirements,
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
clarity,
because
on
levels
of
educa
with
on
education,.
F
I
don't
know
how
easy
it
would
be
to
get
in
all
safety
net
programs
we
can
well,
I
you
know,
I
think,
that's
something
that
we
can
certainly
look
at,
but
levels
of
education
obviously
could
be
useful
to
us
to
see
who's
being
most
impacted
and
stuff
like
that,
and
I
I
think
that
that's
something
probably
we
should
discuss
with
the
agencies
and
try
to
get
figure
out
where,
when
and
how
to
capture
that,
because
it's
not
as
easy
as
some
of
the
other
ones
to
do.
F
You
know,
or
it's
an
extra
thing,
shall
we
say
so,
but
I've
made
a
note
in
that,
and
the
changes
between
shifts
between
primary
service
agencies
for
case
management
was
the
other
one.
We
were
talking
about,
yeah.
F
My
impression
was
that
the
idea
was
to
capture
people's
levels
of
education,
so
we
can
see
the
impact
on
you
know
as
a
demographic
thing.
Obviously,
one
of
the
things
that
we
frequently
you
know
that
that
I'll
use
the
case.
E
E
A
Yeah,
that
is
something
that
I
think
the
staff
is
hoping
to
bring
back
to
the
committee.
When
reviewing
the
report
structure,
the
report
structure
it.
It
was
our
hope
to
keep
this
report
structure
and
we
can
add
things
potentially.
I
need
to
work
with
zoom
grants.
I
think,
to
a
certain
point
once
we
start
making
changes
to
the
zoom
grants
reports.
A
There
are
challenges
with
the
information
that's
already
been
entered,
but
we
can
ask
agencies
to
include
like
separate
narratives,
so
there
are
works
workarounds,
but
but
staff
was
hoping
to
keep
this
report
structure
through
2022
and
then
look
at
revisiting
and
changing
the
report
structure
for
2023,
because
it's
in
2023
that
we
will
be
opening
up
a
new
application
cycle.
B
Does
the
video
have
any
other
recommendations,
potentially
our
thoughts
around
now?
It
sounds
like
for
data
data
components
that
we
can
capture
in
the
2023
cycle,
if
any
other
thoughts
at
this
time,
if
not,
I'm
sure,
we'll
well,
we
have
the
discussion
in
march
sounds
like
jessica
and
sarah
about
the
overview.
Potentially
some
other
thoughts
or
ideas
may
come
up
at
that
time.
A
Yes,
you
know
staff
has
always
given
the
the
reviewing
committee
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
application
and
the
report
structure.
A
This
committee
has
not
had
as
much
time
to
to
do
that,
given
our
condensed
cycle,
but
this
committee
will
definitely
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
moving
forward
and
I'm
so
sorry
it
was
just
our
condensed
cycle,
but
that
was
the
goal
of
the
working
group
to
to
take
one
more
look.
The
report,
structures
for
case
management
and
safetynet
were
reviewed
by
the
mental
health
board
prior
to
that
board's,
dissolving
and
social
services
reforming.
B
B
B
A
Okay,
so
there
are
two
components
in
this
one
memo
and
the
first
is
forming
a
working
group.
Again,
it
would
be
two
members
of
the
committee,
ideally
people
who
would
volunteer
to
generate
ideas
for
procuring
mental
health
services.
We've
heard
from
agencies,
and
not
just
our
case
management
agencies,
but
sort
of
all
of
the
agencies
that
mental
health
services
were
a
need.
The
committee
expressed
interest
in
focusing
the
support
services,
funds
on
mental
health
and
perhaps
specifically.
A
So
this
this
would
be
the
applications
for
trilogy
northwest
casa
shore,
community
and
youth
job
center
and
and
the
committee
can
either
discuss
how
we
want
to
move
forward.
With
these.
These
applicants
or
the
committee
could
ask
the
working
group
to
to
consider
that
and
finally,
under
those
sort
of
additional
applicants,
we
have
impact
behavioral
health
partners.
A
They
had
other
sources
of
funding
for
for
their
case
management
services,
and
they
did
not
believe
that
they
fit
under
case
management
or
safety
net,
but
felt
that
they
would
be
best
under
support
services
and
because
they've
been
working
with
the
city,
we
didn't
want
to
to
not
bring
them
before
the
the
committee
without
some
discussion,
because
you
know,
as
I've
said,
they
do
provide
services,
and
they
do
feel
like
believe
that
they're
a
good
partner,
it's
just
they.
B
And
jessica,
the
working
group
that
that
first
bullet
that
would
capture
that
would
consider
both
the
questions
right.
The
classifications
for
some
of
these
some
of
these
agencies,
as
well
as
the
additional
generating
ideas
for
procuring
mental
health
services.
Additional
partnerships
right
that
working
group
can
focus
on
both
of
those
the
working.
A
Group
could
or
the
committee
could
discuss
those
additional
applicants.
The
second
bullet
point
tonight
as
a
as
a
full
group.
E
Well,
as
always,
I'm
happy
to
volunteer
my
time.
This
is
obviously
an
important
issue
to
the
fifth
ward,
so
I'm
always
available
for
these
type
of
discussions.
G
B
E
Of
a
a
regular
discussion
or
a
discussion
of
in
one
of
our
regular
meetings
or
if
we're
going
to
hold
a
special
meeting.
F
Council
member
burns,
I
think
that
this
is
an
important
topic.
We
have
three
committee
members
interested.
I
I
think
that
we
should
make
that
work
to
have
a
working
group
that
has
three
and
I
we
have
flexibility
in
time
I
mean
we
have
to
notice
it
and
everything
like
that,
and
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
night
meeting.
It
could
be
a
day
meeting.
I
I
you
know.
I
think
that
it's
an
important
topic
and
we've
got
interesting
committee
members
and
I
I
really
don't
want
to
start
out
telling
anyone.
F
Well,
we
gotta
boot
somebody
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
have
millions
of
subcommittees.
That
are
three,
so
we
have
our.
You
know
entire
life
taken
up
with
open
meetings
acts,
but
but
I
don't
think
that
we
want
to
either
just
say
we
can't
do
it.
That's
we're
not
trying
to
be
that
adamant,
so
I
think
we
will.
We
will
work
out
a
working
group
subcommittee
almost
because
it
is
with
the
three
of
you.
If
everybody
else
agrees
that
that
makes
sense.
E
E
F
You
know
I
mean
honestly,
I
I
think
it
may
be
more
effective,
sometimes
to
have
a
smaller
group,
because
you
can
really
get
discussions,
but
we've
got
a
lot
of
practitioners
who
are
have
a
great
deal
of
knowledge,
and
I
would
I
would
hate
to
not
take
advantage
of
that
knowledge
in
this
situation.
A
F
F
So,
if,
if
you
want
to
have
a
discussion
of
it
at
the
committee
level
and
then
ask
this
the
working
group
to
continue
and
come
back
with
the
recommendation
that
I
think
that
it
just
seems
like
a
lot
to
try,
we
don't
necessarily
have
all
the
information
you
might
need.
It's.
E
I
B
No
well
do
we
do
we
need
to
do
a
roll
call
vote
to
form
this
committee
or
to
set
a
time
for
a
special
meeting,
or
is
that
something
like
that.
F
C
Have
it
yeah
we
can.
We
can
vote
to
form
the
subcommittee
right,
but
we
don't
have
to
vote
to
set
the
meeting
of
that.
B
Wonderful,
so
can.
C
I
move
that
we
move
that
we
create
a
subcommittee
or
a
yeah.
A
subcommittee
slash
working
group
to
focus
on
the
item
at
hand.
A
All
right
I
apologize,
I
can't
see
anyone.
So
can
I
stop
sharing
my
screen
momentarily.
Okay,
all
right,
cheryl,
hanion,.
B
A
Amanda
nagola
hi
archna.
I
you
demeter
cravens
hi
councilmember
burns.
H
B
So
then,
just
so
I'm
clear,
then
for
the
new
subcommittee
that
was
created,
you
will
take
on
the
procurement
of
additional
mental
health
services
as
well
as
the
item
number
two,
which
is
the
additional
applicant
classifications.
Is
that
correct,
sorry
to
make
sure.
F
B
E
H
E
I
couldn't
hear
who
was
on
who's
on
the
committee
who's,
the
finalist,
though,
before
we
get
into
that
sarah
or
jessica
who's,
a
part
of
the
new
subcommittee.
A
I
have
to
say
I
was
having
trouble
seeing
also
because
I
was
sharing
my
screen.
I
couldn't
see
any
of
you.
I
think
that
reed
and
council
member
burns
requested
and
then
I
believe,
sheree
lackey
also
requested
and.
F
Quorum,
that's
all
right.
I
mean
I
really
do
think
this
is
an
important
topic
and
I
really
think
the
knowledge
that
all
of
you
who
are
actually
in
the
field
can
bring,
can
provide
a
can,
inform
decisions
that
we
wouldn't
have
without
that.
F
So
all
right
so
jessica
and
I
will
follow
up
with
the
subcommittee
members
to
figure
out
a
time
for
a
meeting,
and
then
we
will
let
the
whole
committee
know
and
also
then
do
whatever
publishing
and
notifications
of
the
of
the
special
meetings,
because
in
essence
I
don't
know
is
it.
F
I
also
remember,
read:
I'm
going
to
have
to
appeal
to
your
much
better
knowledge
of
robert's
wheels
because
it
is
actually
a
quorum.
I
mean
it's.
What
would
be
a
quorum?
Is
that
something
that
we
have
to
do
anything
differently
with.
B
All
right
well,
then,
yeah
with
some
of
the
time
that
we
have
left.
We
should
discuss
the
applicant
classifications
that
jess
had
on
our
last
slide.
The
second
bullet,
who
were
the
or
do
you
want
to
share
the
screen
reader?
Anyone
the
names
again
of
the
agencies
that
we
were
talking
about.
A
Okay,
so
yep
here
are
our
current
applicants
under
case
management
and
safety
net,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity.
All
agencies
were
invited
and
knew
that
this
was
going
to
be
an
agenda
item
and
the
reason
it's
an
agenda
item
is
because
agencies
might
want
to
change,
but
also
committee
members
might
feel
that
agencies
were
were
misclassified,
and
so
this
is
our
our
chance
to
bless
this
or
change
it
as
I'll
see
fit.
E
A
A
F
So
it
could
be
an
opportunity
to
invite
any
of
the
agency
representatives
who
aren't
present
if
they
want
to
speak
to
this
for
their
agency
to
raise
their
hand,
and
we
could
hear
from
them.
E
Yeah,
you
read
my
mind,
sir.
I
was
thinking
the
same
thing
I
didn't
know
if
there
were
any
desires.
If
any
of
our
organization
agencies
had
desires
to
be
reclassified
or
classified
differently,.
B
H
Okay,
so
we
wanted
to
first
of
all
thank
jessica
for
all
of
the
hard
work
it
has
taken
to
help
us
fit
into
this
new
category,
and
although
we
do
provide
case
management
services
to
a
great
number
of
evanston
residents,
we
do
also
understand
that
our
def,
the
way
that
we're
understanding
case
management
might
not
be
the
same
as
the
way
the
committee
is
and
that
because
of
the
nature
of
the
people
that
we
work
with
once
somebody
becomes
a
client
of
north
shore
senior
center,
they
usually
stay,
so
they
continue
to
get
the
same
services
year
over
year
and
don't
necessarily
make
progress
on
a
service
plan.
H
The
way
that
the
expectation
is
for
the
reporting
of
case
management
and
to
be
honest,
most
of
the
people
who
leave
north
shore
senior
center's
service,
it's
because
they
die
or
like
most
of
them.
That's
the
main
reason.
You
know
some
people
move,
but
most
people
stay
with
us
and
they
don't
progress
in
their
service
plan
in
the
way
that
they
would
need
to.
H
E
You
know
I
I
don't
know
if
there's
if
you
need
to
have
new
clients
and
different
clients
in
annually
in
order
to
qualify
as
case
management,
but
I
would
hope
even
our
kind
of
senior
members
of
our
community
could
still
kind
of
set
goals
and
achieve
them
while
they're,
while
they're
in
case
management.
So
I'm
just
I
don't
know
kim
if
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
more
on
that
on
what
I'm
missing.
H
I
am
not
at
the
service
provider
like,
I
don't
provide
direct
service
myself,
but
we
do
make
plans
with
our
clients
and
we
do
assess
their
needs
on
a
great
on
kind
of
all
aspects
of
life.
So
what
are
your
spiritual
needs?
What
are
your
nutrition
needs?
What
are
your
self-care
needs?
What
are
you
know?
E
D
H
C
E
Health,
nutrition,
you
know
exercise.
I
think
there
are
some
areas
where
you
know
they
could
see
some
continued
growth,
but
but
I
I
better
understand
what
you
mean.
So
thank
you
good.
F
I
don't
see
any
other
agency
members
who
have
their
hands
raised,
so
I'm
taking
that
as
everybody
is
staying
in
their
current
lane.
F
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
may
also
find
is,
as
we
get
farther
along,
I
mean
a
lot
has
changed
in
the
world
of
kovid
and
as
we
get
hopefully
farther
toward
a
recovery,
and
we
may
see
changes
in
services
that
are
the
focus
of
things
as
we
move
into
toward
2023.
F
So
one
of
our
big
challenges
is
really
2021
wasn't
functioning
under
this
whole
system
because
we
just
didn't
get
going
early
enough.
So
I
I
agree
with
jessica
going
away.
We
want
to
not
disrupt
agencies
any
more
than
this.
You
know
at
this
time
and
knowing
that
we're
going
to
potentially
want
to
look
at
we'll
look
at
that
in
the
next
cycle.
So
I
think
that
that
could
be
beneficial.
If
that's
how
they're
all
feeling
too
so.
F
Everything's
moving
forward
in
the
best
format
to
get
us
the
data
and
the
results
both
to
help
our
residents
and
to
get
the
ultimate
information
to
help
inform
decisions
in
the
future.
F
G
I
This
is
lori
flanagan,
calling
I'm
the
director
of
development
at
impact,
behavioral
health
partners.
I
don't
know
that
any
of
my
colleagues
are
on
the
line,
but
it
appears
that
impact
did
not
submit
an
application.
I
As
I
understand
it,
from
what
you
said
jessica
is
was
because
we
were
not
sure
that
we
fit
within
either
of
the
parameters
correctly
and
I'm
just
wondering
would
it
be
possible
for
us
to
submit
something
to
this
new
ad
hoc
committee
so
that
we
could
share
the
work
that
we
do
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
that
would
be
a
possibility.
F
Lori
I
could
address
that.
I
think
that
the
reason
we
have
impact
listed
here
is
in
spite
of
not
having
put
in
an
application,
is
exactly
because
your
organization
had
been
in
discussion
all
along
about
being
a
support
service
provider,
in
other
words,
we're
recommending
from
jessica's.
In
my
standpoint,
it
would
be
to
certainly
consider
you
as
one
of
the
potential
organizations
that
could
be
providing
some
of
the
support
services
that
that
is,
that
money
that
has
not
yet
been
allocated
for
2020
of
the
2021
money,
even.
E
F
I
think
that's
what
I
think
we
might
want
to
do
with
that
is.
Have
the
subcommittee
meet
talk
about
what
we
need
and
decide
how
to
how
to
format
requests
so
that
we
get
consistency
and
have
something
that
we
can
look
at?
I,
I
really
am
not.
I
don't
want
agencies
to
start
writing
things
without
knowing
what
we
may
be,
then
asking
them
for.
B
F
Just
as
a
reminder-
and
this
was
a
long
time
ago
when
we
were
talking
about
the
whole
system-
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
was
working
out
a
fee
for
service
basis.
That
would
allow
us
to
get
people
into
services
that
are
that
financial
capacity
is
keeping
people
out
of
of
getting
and
we'd
also
talked
about
looking
at
ways
to
possibly
fund
allow
the
use
of
individual
practitioners,
not
not
only
agencies,
because
one
of
the
challenges
we
run
into
everywhere.
F
Right
now
is,
I
think
that
the
capacity
of
all
service
providers
providing
mental
health
services
is
so
strapped,
because
the
need
is
so
high,
and
so
we
need
to
look
both
creatively
at
ways
to
get
people.
Access
to
services
and
we'd
also
talked
about
the
importance
of
looking
at
new
ways
to
overcome
barriers
like
people
who
were
having
difficulty
finding
professionals
in
the
field
who
they
felt
comfortable
with
and
and
that
they
felt
would
understand
them
from
their
cultural
lens
and
coming
from
their.
F
You
know
their
personal
background
and
that
they
would
be
comfortable
going
to.
So
I
think
all
of
those
things
would
be
part
of
that
discussion.
E
And
sure
I
don't
know
if
dimita
would
mind
speaking
to
that
as
someone
who
is
is
in
the
field
just
is
there
a
shortage
right,
we're
hearing
it
certainly,
but
is
there
a
shortage
of
you
know
mental
health
professionals
and,
and
if
so,
what
do
you
think
is
kind
of
driving
that
and
also
whatever
do
you
have
any
ideas
on
how
we
can
you
know
what
what
can
improve
it?.
D
Yes,
there's
definitely
a
shortage.
The
private
practice
I
work
for
as
well
as
most
other
people
know,
are
to
full
capacity.
We
have
waiting
lists
two
years
ago.
We
didn't
have
waiting
lists.
D
I
still
think
it's
a
overflow
from
the
initial
pandemic,
as
well
as
the
other
things
that
were
going
on
in
the
beginning
of
2020
right
before
the
pandemic
as
well,
where
people
finally
realized
hey.
I
do
need
to
speak
to
someone
professionally,
and
so
now
we
have
all
these
people
rushing
in
for
services
and
not
enough
providers.
D
D
If
you
are
private
pay,
you
know
it
depends
on
whether
or
not
the
agency
wants
to
do
a
sliding
scale,
a
lot
of
them.
Don't
so
you
know
people
can't
afford
200
a
session
on
their
own
and
giving
them
a
break
only
goes
down
to
about
maybe
125
again,
unless
you're
with
the
agency,
who
does
a
flighting
scale
where
they
be
like.
Okay,
just
give
me
20
or
whatever
here,
but
that's
not
the
norm.
B
Demeta
has
the
average
cost
of
services
over
the
last
couple
years,
given
that
you're
mentioning
that
there's
a
workforce
shortage
for
providing
these
services
has
the
average
cost
gone
up
as
well
for
patients.
D
No,
it
hasn't
gone
up.
Actually
we
did
okay
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
because
a
lot
of
the
insurance
agencies
they
decided
to
waive
co-pays
so
for
a
whole
year.
It
wasn't
up.
D
It
was
up
until
maybe
december,
where
everyone
who
came
to
see
us
since
20
didn't
have
to
worry
about
paying
their
co-pay,
but
now
the
insurance
agencies
they
put
that
back
on
and
then
now,
what's
going
on,
the
insurance
companies
are
way
behind
and
paying
the
providers
for
the
for
services
we're
still
waiting
on
payments
from
december.
D
So
that
could
be
a
thing
too.
Sometimes
providers
may
not
want
to
take
on
too
many
new
people.
D
You
know
if
they
have,
if
we're
having
a
problem
of
getting
funding
coming
in
from
people
who
already
have
you
know,
so
it's
a
lot
of
different
issues,
I
think
being
able
to
help
people
with
services
really
would
have
to
come
from
the
providers
themselves
them
being
willing
to.
You
know:
maybe
do
some
things
pro
bono
or
discount
yourself.
D
B
D
D
Maybe
if
we
oh,
I
mean-
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
part
in
somewhere
in
the
city
where
we
can
just
have
just
an
agency
for
the
members
of
I
mean
for
the
residents
of
evanston
to
come
and
get
mental
health
services
like
just
a
specific
area.
Not
you
know,
we
have
a
different,
a
bunch
of
different
agencies
that
provide
mental
health.
What
if
the
city
just
had
their
own
just
umbrella
of
mental
health
service
and
hired
people?
For
that.
B
F
Well,
a
number
of
our
staff
in
the
human
services
department
are
licensed
social
workers.
In
fact
many
of
them
are,
but
we
don't
provide
clinical
mental
health
services
and
I
don't
think
the
city
is
in
a
position
to
staff
up
and
enlarge.
F
At
least
not
using
this
money,
I
think
that
would
have
to
be
a
decision
that
would
come
in
a
budgeting
and
planning
something
outside.
F
The
role
of
the
social
services
committee
is
to
determine
how
best
to
use
money
that
the
city
controls
to
help
fill
the
needs
of
our
residents
for
things
that
the
city
doesn't
provide
directly,
and
I
don't
think
you
know
that
is
something
that
could
be
talked
about,
but
it's
well
outside
my
league
to
be
able
to
determine
if
that
would
be
a
good
way
to
approach
it.
I'm
not
I'm
not
saying
it
couldn't
be.
I
just
don't
think
that
that
we
can
do
that
effectively
with
the
funding
we're
talking
about
right
now.
F
I
think
that
would
be
a
much
broader
discussion
and
involved
a
totally
different
approach
and
budgeting
and
everything
else
that
goes
along
with
hiring
additional
staff
or
creating
a
new
division
or
anything
within
the
city.
E
Yeah,
I
think
the
the
health
department,
more
specifically
the
youth
and
young
adult
development
team,
is
hiring
a
new
health,
mental
health
or
health
practitioner
mental
health
practitioner.
I
think
I
need
to
to
check
in
on
that,
but
to
meet
up.
I've
had
similar
thoughts.
E
In
fact,
one
of
the
last
times
you
spoke
you
kind
of
presented
to
this
committee
in
a
sense
about
your
your
work,
I
was
taking
notes
trying
to
think
okay,
how
many,
if
we
hired
someone
how
many
new
cases
right
could
that
person
sustain
as
opposed
to
if
we,
if
we
went
out
and
worked
with
an
agency
and.
C
E
And
both
may
work.
My
only
concern
with
all
of
this
is
we
spend
money
for
someone
to
end
up
on
a
waiting
list
that
doesn't
feel
good
to
me
like.
If,
if
we
spend
city
money,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
person
when
they
need
it,
can
can
go
somewhere
and
get
help
that
day
or
that
week,
or
at
least
in
you
know.
E
You
know
two
weeks
after
the
request
is
made
and
that's
my
number
one
concern
is
not
being
able
to
control
for
that
when
we
partner
with
outside
agencies,
and
so
with
most
everything
I
lean
towards
having
someone
that
is
city
of
evanston
staff
or
at
least
a
direct
contract
where
we
know
okay
for
this
amount
of
money,
we
get
this
many
hours
or
whatever
it
is,
and
I
know
it's
complicated
and
those
are
much
longer
discussions.
E
But
I
just
want
to
say
to
me:
I
I
typically
think
in
that
same
way,
because
I
there's
there's
a
lot
of
waiting
lists.
You
you
think
the
program
you
think
the
program
has
available
capacity
and
it
sounds
good
on
paper
and
I'm
like
yeah,
go
to
our
website
or
call
us
when
you
need
us,
but
then,
when
you
take
one
step
closer
towards
it,
you
end
up
on
a
waiting
list
and
it's
hard
for
you
to
get
connected
to
the
services.
E
That's
what
I'm
really
trying
to
address.
So
I
think
it's
something
we
can
continue
to
discuss.
Even
if
it's
with
arpa
money,
you
know
using
our
funds
to
to
try
to
pilot
some
new
approaches,
I
think
is,
is
a
possibility.
So
thank
you
for
that.
F
Well,
one
of
the
things
council
member
burns
that
the
idea
of
having
a
you
know
fee
for
service
would
be
to
get
around
that
being
at
the
wait
list,
because
in
many
cases
people
who
don't
have
funding
have
the
ability
to
pay
are
the
ones
who
are
on
the
wait
lists
and
and
there
it
seems
to
me
that
there
are
even
different
wait
lists.
It's
like
based
on
your
insurance
or
whether
you
have
medicaid
or
all
those
things.
So
the
idea
was
to
get
people
into
services,
at
least
with
you
know.
F
In
other
words,
they're
coming
with
money
on
a
you
know,
on
a
fee-for-service
basis
to
be
able
to
get
directly
into
services
was
the
was
the
goal
of,
or
it
was
the
idea
behind
this
so
you're.
Absolutely
right.
We
don't
want
to
have
people
sitting
on
a
waiting
list
when
we're
trying
to
the
whole
point
was
to
try
to
get
them
much
more
rapidly
into
services.
So
the
subcommittee
has
lots
to
discuss.
B
Thank
you
councilman
burns.
Thank
you,
sarah
and
amita.
I
wanted
to
give
one
one
last
opportunity
here
for
any
of
the
agencies
that
are
still
on
the
call
or
if
anybody
else,
just
with
a
public
comment,
I
did
say
I
wanted
to
revisit
that
before
we
do.
I
F
B
B
Okay,
well
then
that
sounds
like
jessica.
You
will
follow
up
with
the
new
subcommittee
that
was
created
tonight
and
coordinate
and
contact
their
their
first
meeting,
and
then
we
have
a
meeting
in
march,
which
we
can
potentially
just
discuss
some
of
the
thoughts
and
discussions
and
findings
from
that
subcommittee,
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
items
that
we
covered
tonight
earlier
in
the
meeting.
