    Several speakers name and address for me. Uh Don Anderson, [address removed]. Uh commissioners, county staff, thank you for the opportunity to uh address you regarding this uh regarding our homeless neighbors. Um I'll make my remarks brief so as not to be too redundant with what Ms. Esperg has uh presented. I think you'll agree if there's a silver lining. To the covet pandemic, it has to be. these monies that become available to address homelessness in our community. And not just homelessness, but those at risk of homelessness, which we all recognize will be a growing concern. The proposed monies, as Marcy has so emphatically stated. Will make it possible to house two hundred and twenty five homeless individuals and families. And prevent homelessness for a hundred families all in a hundred and eighty days, beginning in just weeks. These monies are are inclusive in that they cover the cost of outreach. Which brings our teams into the the streets, into the camps to identify and assess these individuals,

    Several speakers condition as well as being long-term homeless. Again, most vulnerable, we want to bring them off the streets, out of the encampments, keep them safe, and then put them in motels, surround them with case management, housing. Focus and put them into a program called Permanent Supportive Housing where they're going to get more high-touch case management in their housing journey. And then lastly, those the first three are all single adults. Again, most of our population are single adults, and the next group are 35 homeless families with the intervention of either unsheltered or from a shelter case management into rapid rehousing. Along with keeping people, bringing people into housing, we want to next also prevent people from becoming homeless. In our next slide, we talk about 100 people in 180 days preventing homelessness. And we would do this with two strategies. The first strategy is for 40 families that are recognized. As probably temporarily homeless here, and they have connection and supports in other locations. So we help them with diversion by getting back to where they have family and support so they could be housed. The second group of 60 at-risk families, we believe, is probably a very low number based on what's happening now with

    Several speakers starting with 80 unsheltered who are elderly, disabled, a longtime homeless, but not considered chronically homeless based on HUD's definition. And the plan is to do outreach, to do go ahead and identify and assess them. And for these people who are very vulnerable, we're going to be bringing them into motels for safety reasons and then surrounding them with case management, one-on-one case management with a focus on rehousing, rapid rehousing, are our H stands for rapid rehousing. The second group of people, 80 unsheltered as well, but they're not elderly or disabled or long-term homeless. And these people can be housed right from the streets and the encampments. So again, the outreach, the assessment, and then going right into rapid rehousing. The third group of people are 30 unsheltered who are chronically homeless. So those are people that have a disabling

    Several speakers to go ahead and make a plan on how to use the money, we want to make sure that this plan is data driven. So we're looking at what is the status of homelessness in our community. So if you look at the information from our twenty nineteen point time count, we find that over six hundred and eighty eight persons were unsheltered, meaning that they were living in the woods in cars in a place not fit for human habitation and 206 were sheltered. the m uh the majority of our uh of our People that experiencing homelessness are single adults with 609 single adults being unsheltered versus 53 being sheltered as opposed to the groupings in families with 77 being unsheltered and 132 being sheltered. So I know that the word unprecedented has been used a lot the last six months, but we are seeing unprecedented

    Several speakers us to create what's called a coordinated investment plan. This coordinated investment plan has four elements, and the four elements include firstly setting local rehousing goals based on the needs of the people experiencing homelessness, which is why we talked about in the beginning what homelessness looks like in our community, because we want to tailor it to what is needed in our community. The second part is to look at the um Permanent housing interventions, what types, what's needed, the amount of assistance based on people exiting homelessness or preventing it. The third part is looking at the resources that are available, and we looked at the list of all the different funding sources, not only the emergency solutions grant, but funding that comes into the continuum of care, funding that comes Into the county and funding that goes directly to the homeless coalition. And then the last part of this plan is to merge all
