Details
Overlay themes: communication, stigma and recovery. The plan template is to include data sources and methodology and a lingering-issues section.
Adopted the strategic plan timeline and reviewed the template; public emails became a standing agenda item; the three-month report to Council (no city template) is due around mid-November.
The chair presented a draft Homelessness Response System Roadmap. Members suggested adding recovery, affected neighbors, transitions, regional coordination, policy barriers and a mission statement, and agreed the plan should focus on the city's own role with measurable deliverables. The plan is due to the Council in about seven months.
Reviewed three plans submitted by community members (a broad framework, a survey-based plan with a 24/7 triage hub idea, and an implementation road map deferred to a later meeting); no votes.
