So,
on
april
26th,
the
housing
department
presented
on
the
proposed
expenditure
plan
for
the
third
round
of
our
homeless,
housing
assistance
and
prevention
award.
Our
application
is
due
in
two
days.
San
jose's
allocation
is
over
29
million.
We
had
submitted
a
request
for
20
of
the
initial
disbursement
of
the
award
and
which
we
received.
We
already
received
5.8
around
5.8
million
dollars.
So
this
is
this.
Application
is
for
the
remainder
of
the
total
award.
E
The
hap
round,
3
legislative
bill
requires
applying
jurisdictions
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
its
governing
body.
You
all
as
well
as
the
public,
to
offer
any
comments
to
the
local
homelessness
action
plan
and
outcome
goals
prior
to
submitting
the
full
application
statute
does
not
require
local
governing
bodies
to
take
any
action
on
or
formally
adopt,
the
agendized
content.
E
So
the
application
requests
a
lot
of
information
from
applicants.
The
state
encourages
coordination
with
other
local
applicants.
The
housing
department
coordinated
very
closely
with
the
county
office
of
supportive
housing
on
several
of
the
sections,
most
notably
on
the
sections
in
which
we
have
to
bring.
We
must
bring
forward
today
for
public
comment
which
are
actually
in
bold
on
the
slide.
E
The
local
homelessness
action
plan
provides
data
and
demographics
of
those
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
in
the
entire
county.
We
generated
the
data
from
both
the
last
homeless
census
and
survey
in
2019
and
from
the
homeless
management
information
system.
Hmis,
the
local
homeless
action
plan
also
includes
existing
programs
and
funding
which
address
homelessness.
E
E
We
also
had
to
include
some
strategies
to
achieve
those
outcome
goals.
Hapron
3
asked
us
to
provide
some
actionable
strategies
and
we
were
pretty
lucky
because
we
already
have
the
community
plan
to
end
homelessness.
To
refer
to.
So
I
aim
to
relate
strategies
in
the
community
plan
with
the
developed
outcome
goals.
For
example,
strategy
2.1
in
the
community
plan
increase
the
capacity
of
supportive
housing
programs
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
E
The
city
of
san
jose
will
increase
the
supply
of
supportive
housing
by
890
new,
affordable
units
and
500
new
rapid
re-housing
placements.
This
strategy
will
address
both
the
the
goal
to
reduce
the
number
of
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
by
four
percent
and
the
goal
to
increase
the
number
of
individuals
exiting
homeless
homelessness
into
permanent
housing.
So
that's
just
one
example
of
how
we
tied
those
two
together.
E
It's
important
to
note
that
the
progress
on
the
outcome
goals
will
be
monitored
by
the
data
in
the
state
system.
It's
called
hdis,
which
stands
for
the
homeless
data
integration
system,
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
it
may
not
directly
correlate
with
the
data.
That's
in
our
local
hmis
system.
However,
we
are
confident
we
will
meet
the
goals,
thus
resulting
in
bonus
funds
for
our
region.
A
F
G
G
G
I
would
like
to
continue
working
with
the
city
and
the
county
to
try
to
make
things
better,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
a
position
where
we
know
that
our
voice
is
actually
effective
and
not
just
being
discarded
or
you
know
put
aside,
and
I
think
if
all
of
you
up
here
made
decisions
and
then
people
just
ignored
them.
You
would
feel
the
way
I
feel
right
now.
So
thank
you.
H
H
That
will
help
a
lot
to
give
right
suggestions
from
locals
and
we
are
paying
the
taxes
and
we
are,
everybody
is
paying
the
taxes
and
everybody
should
be
responsible
towards
the
tax
money
savings
as
well
as,
at
the
same
time,
we
have
to
think
about
other
others,
growth
as
well,
so
that
right
input
in
order
to
get
right
inputs,
at
least
these
agendas
or
whatever
it
may
be,
that
one.
It
is
not
through
news
tunnels
or
the
newspaper
only.
We
will
come
to
know
a
lot
of
things,
but
it
is.
F
F
We
need
different
vendors,
we've
begged
and
pleaded
for
more
vendors.
You
can't
say
well
only
one
person
answered
so
we're
gonna,
give
them
the
contract
over
and
over
and
over
again
and
blueprints.
We
need.
I
agree
with
robert
aguirre
about
lived
experience
and
advocates
being
involved
in
things
quetzal
gardens.
There
are
a
ton
of
walkways
that
are
just
great
places
to
get
your
butt
kicked
or
for
children
to
get
molested.
I
mean
we
really
need
to
have
people
involved
in
this
and
see
things
through
their
eyes.
I
I
That
ties
into.
I
think
what
you
know
the
whole
future
of
the
subsidy
planning
that's
come
in
in
this
era
of
covid
has
really
been
meant
for
here
in
santa
clara
county,
and
I
think
it's
something
that
can
really
be
addressed,
and
so
a
real
honest,
good
luck
to
ourselves
in
those
efforts
and
what
I've
been
continuously
trying
to
mention
is
the
ideas
of
what
how
subsidy
can
be
of
help
to
ourselves.
B
B
B
J
J
B
A
A
A
Yep,
okay,
great
and
then,
secondly,
just
looking
at
the
document,
it
appears
we're
using
oh
boy.
I
gotta
pull
up
the
page.
Now.
If
we
go
back
to
the
attachment,
I
think
it's
attachment
b
that
describes
attachment
a
the
analysis
of
needs
and
demographics,
which
always
find
very
educational,
is
to
try
to
kind
of
understand
better,
what's
happening
in
the
big
picture,
because
we
all
have
anecdotal
experiences
with
unhoused
residents
who
are
in
our
own
neighborhood
or
whoever,
but
we
or
wherever
we
just
don't.
A
You
know
it's
hard
to
really
understand
in
the
big
picture,
without
seeing
information
from
the
pit
count
or
other
sources,
and
what's
the
tier
is
very
good,
but
it's
the
source
is
the
20
20
pit
count.
That
was
an
understanding.
We
didn't
have
a
pit
count
in
2020,
but
in
2019,
and
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
is
that
actually
the
2022
or
is
that.
A
A
K
K
Okay,
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
this
report
and
the
detail
behind
it,
particularly
the
demographics
analysis.
I
found
really
helpful
and
beneficial
in
in
analyzing
what
our
who
makes
up
our
unhoused
population,
how
many
are
children
and
accompanied
minors
and
members
of
the
lgbt
community
and
seniors?
I
found
that
information
really
helpful
and
and
valuable.
K
A
B
K
A
K
D
D
C
Yeah
thanks
mayor,
just
very
very
briefly,
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
detailed
report
wanted
to
say.
I
appreciate
the
success
measures
as
they're
kind
of
laid
out
in
the
presentation.
Those
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me
and
I
really
hope
that
we'll
see
those
as
often
as
possible
kind
of
integrated
into
reporting,
with
with
progress
measures,
but
really
like
the
way
that
it's
framed
up
and
that,
I
think,
will
help
me
communicate
with
my
constituents
about
where
we're
trying
to
go.
So.
Thank
you.
