          UM, OKAY Y'ALL, UM, SO I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU ARE AWARE, BUT THE CITY IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF ITS HOMELESSNESS, STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE. 
          THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW DIFFERENT POINTS OF FEEDBACK. 
          UM, TODAY WE'RE GONNA GO OVER IT, KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF LIKE THE ANALYSIS THAT'S BEEN CONDUCTED THUS FAR AND THE MAJOR THEMES THAT WE'RE SEEING OUT OF THIS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          UM, AND THE MAJOR GOAL OF TODAY IS REALLY JUST TO GATHER FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL, UM, ON THESE MAJOR THEMES. 
          SEE IF THERE'S ANY GAPS MISSING. 
          REALLY JUST WANNA LEARN FROM Y'ALL'S EXPERTISE IN THIS FIELD. 
          UM, AND THEN TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHERE WE'RE HEADED NEXT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN DATE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA DO BRIEF 
          [00:05:01]
INTRODUCTIONS, PRESENTA THE QUICK PRESENTATION, AND THEN WE'RE REALLY GONNA FOCUS MOST OF OUR TIME ON THE ACTIVITY. 
          'CAUSE OUR TIME IS LIMITED. 
          UM, BUT Y'ALL WILL SEE I'M GONNA KEEP THE FEEDBACK LOOP GOING AND OPEN UNTIL THE END OF THIS WEEK. 
          SO DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS NEXT 20 MINUTES IS LIKE THE ONLY 20 MINUTES YOU HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN PROCESS. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE SOME OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          AND THEN I'M GONNA ALLOCATE SOME TIME FOR NEXT STEPS AND QUESTIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          INTRODUCTIONS. 
          HI Y'ALL. 
          I'M SAVANNAH UDAR. 
          I AM WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IN THE OFFICE OF HOMELESS STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIPS. 
          UM, I TRY TO COME TO HAYSAK AS MUCH AS I CAN. 
          SO YOUR FACES ARE DEFINITELY VERY FAMILIAR. 
          AND THEN PAUL ACTUALLY INTRODUCED OUR OFFICE, I THINK SOMETIME DURING THE SUMMER 'CAUSE WE'RE RELATIVELY NEW. 
          I WANNA SAY WE'RE LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT MONTHS OLD, LOSING TRACK OF TIME. 
          UM, BUT WE'RE STILL AN INFANT. 
          UM, BUT PART OF OUR OFFICE'S RESPONSIBILITIES IS TO MANAGE THE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE AND THEN ALSO WORK ON THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CITY IN REGARDS TO HOMELESSNESS AMONGST A LOT OF OTHER THINGS. 
          BUT I'LL JUST STOP RIGHT THERE. 
          ALVIN, DO YOU WANNA WELL, YEAH. 
          AND, UH, ALVIN TANG, I THINK YOU ALL KNOW ME. 
          UM, I'M ALSO WITH THE  STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIPS AND AS SAVANNAH MENTIONED, WE, AMONG OTHER THINGS ARE HEADING UP THIS HOME IS STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE RIGHT SMACK THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT EFFORT RIGHT NOW, BUT EXCITED TO, UH, BE HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, UPDATE WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. 
          SO THE CITY IS DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE WITH ITS HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE AND PRIORITIZE INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS ACROSS LONG BEACH FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
          SO THIS STRATEGIC PLAN IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO SERVE AS A ROADMAP FOR WHERE WE'RE HEADED OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
          SO IN 2023 IS KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED. 
          REALLY WANTED TO DO AN EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT OF WHERE WE'RE AT AT OUR, WITHIN OUR HOMELESS SERVICES SYSTEM. 
          LOOK INTO SOME CASE STUDIES AND BEST PRACTICES IN WINTER OF 2024. 
          WE DID SOME PRELIMINARY OUTREACH. 
          WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE POINT IN TIME COUNT, UM, AND ARE REALLY RELYING ON THAT, THOSE DATA SETS AS WELL. 
          UM, AND WE ALSO CONDUCTED FIVE LISTENING SESSIONS. 
          SO THAT WAS REALLY THE KICKOFF OF OUR ENGAGEMENT THERE. 
          UM, WE REALLY, WE'LL GET INTO WHO WE DID OUR LISTENING SESSIONS WITH. 
          UM, SPRING OF 2024. 
          WE DID EXISTING DATA ANALYSIS AND ALSO CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEY, SUMMER AND FALL OF 2024. 
          WE DID OUR ANALYSIS ON OUR SURVEY RESPONSES AND THEN WE ALSO HOSTED A COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, WHICH I BELIEVE YOU ALL WERE INVITED TO. 
          AND I, I DO FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER SOME OF Y'ALL BEING THERE. 
          UM, AND THEN THERE'S A TYPO. 
          WE'RE STILL IN THIS PHASE RIGHT NOW, SO IT'S CARRIED INTO 2025, BUT NOW WE'RE AT OUR ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS. 
          UM, SO THESE ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS ARE REALLY MEANT TO HONE IN AND, YOU KNOW, KIND OF IDENTIFY WHERE THE GAPS ARE, UM, WITHIN OUR ANALYSIS. 
          AND WE'RE REALLY REACHING BACK OUT TO EXPERTS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN THE FIELD. 
          UM, ALSO DOING SOME CONSULTATIONS WITH THE CONTINUUM OF CARE WORK AND ALSO YOU ALL AS . 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE DRAFTING ESSENTIALLY WHAT IS A COMMUNITY VOICE REPORT. 
          UM, THAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF ALL THE ENGAGEMENT WE'VE DONE THUS FAR. 
          UM, REALLY SUMMARIZING IT INTO A FORMAL PLAN. 
          AND I FORGOT TO MENTION, BUT WE ALSO CONTRACTED WITH CITI FABRIC TO HELP US CONDUCT THIS ENGAGEMENT EFFORT. 
          ASK QUESTIONS. 
          YEAH, GO FOR IT. 
          SO IT'S A FIVE YEAR PLAN MM-HMM . 
          AND IT'S CONFUSING TO ME. 
          WHEN WILL THE FINALIZED STRATEGIC  TEAM PRESENT? RIGHT. 
          QUESTION  NEXT YEAR OR IS IT 0.8? YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT NEXT STEPS 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER PHASE OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN PROCESS THAT REALLY FOCUSES IN ON QUANTITATIVE ENG, UH, QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. 
          UM, I THINK OUR HOPE IS TO HAVE IT IN THE SUMMER OR SUMMER OF, ON THE END OF, UH, END OF THIS YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          25. 
          OKAY. 
          CORRECT. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          AND THEY UPDATE TO ITS HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE EVERYONE HOME PLAN? YES. 
          GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO YEAH, NO, THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT. 
          SO IF YOU ARE AREN'T AWARE, IN 2018, THE CITY PUBLISHED THAT EVERYONE HOME LONG BEACH REPORT, UM, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY, UH, HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN WITHIN THE CITY. 
          A LOT OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE MET, UM, BUT THIS IS KIND OF LIKE AN UPDATED STRATEGIC PLAN PROCESS TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, JUST FURTHER CONTINUE ON. 
          UM, AND EMPHASIZE, YOU KNOW, OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WITHIN THE SID. 
          IT'LL NOT BE CALLED UP. 
          IT WILL NOT BE CALLED UP . 
          SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'VE HEARD SO FAR. 
          I'M GONNA BRIEFLY GO OVER THIS SO WE CAN FOCUS IN ON THE FEEDBACK. 
          SO WE'VE DONE SIX LISTENING SESSIONS, CONDUCTED A PUBLIC COMMUNITY SURVEY, WHICH IS DONE IN PERSON AND ALSO VIRTUALLY WE CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE BACK IN SEPTEMBER. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WRAPPING UP OUR ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS AS WELL. 
          SO FOR OUR SIX LISTENING SESSIONS, WE DID ONE WITH THE CONTINUUM OF CARE BOARD. 
          WE DID ONE WITH PEOPLE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, HOMELESS SERVICES, BUREAU STAFF, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, EXTERNAL CITY STAFF, AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS IN THE PAST. 
          SO SOMETHING YOU'LL NOTICE WHEN I'M WALKING THROUGH A LOT OF THIS ENGAGEMENT, WE REALLY TRIED TO FOCUS IN ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST IMPACTED BY HOMELESSNESS, WHICH IS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING 
          [00:10:01]
HOMELESSNESS THEMSELVES. 
          WE REALLY WANTED TO UNDERSTAND FROM THEM WHAT THE GAPS ARE IN OUR SYSTEM, UM, AND HOW WE COULD BETTER SERVICE THEM THROUGH THIS PROCESS. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          HOW DID YOU REACH OUT? YEAH, WE DID. 
          UM, FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE MOVED THROUGH OUR DIFFERENT SERVICE. 
          WE MOVED THROUGH THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER TO HELP US IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS. 
          UM, WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO OUR SHELTER PROVIDERS AND THEY HELPED US ALSO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LISTENING SESSIONS AS WELL. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND, UM, USERS OF THE MSC AS WELL WERE, UM, WERE INCORPORATED INTO THESE SAME SESSIONS, THANK MM-HMM. 
          UH, THIS CLEARLY WAS NOT A PART OF THE  THAT NO, IT WASN'T. 
          SO WE KNEW WE WERE GONNA REVISIT THE COC AND HAY SO BOARD OR COMMITTEE. 
          UM, BUT WE WANTED TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE FOCUSING IN ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND THEN ALSO EXTENDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR Y'ALL TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT COMMUNITY SURVEY AND ALSO THE OPEN HOUSE. 
          AND WE KNEW WE WERE GONNA COME BACK TO THIS GROUP AT, UM, NOW, SO YEAH. 
          UM, THEN WE CONDUCTED A COMMUNITY WIDE SURVEY. 
          WE RECEIVED 998 RESPONSES. 
          I DON'T WANNA SAY A THOUSAND, BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO. 
          UM, WE CONDUCTED IT IN MAY AND JUNE OF 2024. 
          IT WAS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, ENGLISH, SPANISH, KA, TAGAL. 
          AND WE DID SIX IN-PERSON CANVASSING EVENTS. 
          SO WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE TRYING TO ENGAGE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 
          AND WE KNEW THAT KIND OF MEANT THAT WE HAD TO GO OUT INTO THE FIELD. 
          SO OUR, UM, CONSULTANT AND I AND US CITY FABRIC, UM, WENT TO DIFFERENT, UM, SERVICE LOCATIONS. 
          WE WENT TO THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER, DID SOME CANVASSING THERE. 
          THEN WE ALSO TAGGED ALONG WITH OUR MOBILE ACCESS CENTER AT THEIR DIFFERENT, UM, STOCK POINTS IN LONG BEACH TO GATHER SOME RESPONSES. 
          AND THROUGH THIS EFFORT THEY COLLECTED 136 WRITTEN SURVEY RESPONSES. 
          BUT IN TOTAL, UM, WE RECEIVED 998 RESPONSES. 
          UM, WE HAD 242 PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE. 
          580 OF THOSE RESPONDENTS HAD SOMEBODY CLOSE TO THEM WHO HAD LIVED EXPERIENCE. 
          AND THEN 305 OF THOSE PEOPLE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 
          SO THEY MIGHT BE A SERVICE PROVIDER. 
          UM, WE REALLY WANNA MAKE SURE WE ARE JUST AGGREGATING THE DATA, UM, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES, WHETHER THEY'RE A SERVICE PROVIDER, A RESIDENT, UM, OR HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCE THEMSELVES. 
          SOME PEOPLE ARE BOTH . 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SOME PEOPLE WOULD FALL INTO BOTH GROUPS. 
          YES. 
          SO THEN WE DID A COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE, WHICH WAS ANOTHER POINT OF, UH, FEEDBACK COLLECTION. 
          IT WAS ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2024. 
          THERE WAS AROUND A HUNDRED PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. 
          AND AGAIN, OUR GOAL HERE WAS TO REALLY UPDATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT OUR PROGRESS AND OUR PROCESS AND FUTURE PLANS FOR THE HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE. 
          AND ALSO, AGAIN, TO COLLECT THAT COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. 
          UM, WE HAVE SOME COMMUNITY PARTNERS THERE. 
          SO, UH, CATH, MHA LA THE 1736 CRISIS CENTER AND THEN ALSO OUR HOMELESS SERVICES BUREAU WAS THERE PRESENT. 
          UM, JUST TO DISSEMINATE MORE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES AS TO THE HOMELESS FOR THE HOMELESS SERVICES SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. 
          WE REALLY WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP, RIGHT? LIKE HOMELESSNESS IS NOT GONNA BE SOLVED BY ONE ENTITY. 
          IT REALLY IS THE ONE TO TAKE ALL OF US. 
          UM, AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY RESOURCE FAIR PART WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO FROM ALL OF THIS AND FROM ALL OF THAT, UM, LAST PAST YEAR OF ENGAGEMENT, IT HAS INFORMED THESE REALLY BIG BUCKETS OF THEMES. 
          AND WE CAME OUT WITH SIX THEMES THAT YOU'LL NOTICE ARE QUITE BROAD. 
          UM, SO THE FIRST THEME IS ENHANCE THE CITY'S EXISTING SUPPORTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM, IMPROVE THE COORDINATED SERVICE SYSTEM, EXPAND TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS, INCREASE HOUSING ACCESS, INCREASE SAFETY, PREVENT FUTURE HOMELESSNESS, AND INCORPORATE EQUITY AND INCLUSION. 
          YOU INCLUSION. 
          DO Y'ALL FEEL LIKE ANYTHING IS MISSING FROM HERE? THINK, YEAH, NO, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE EXPERIENCE . 
          THEY'RE, I I WHERE TO WORD NOT TRUE. 
          LIKE SOMETIMES IT'S JUST BASIC NEEDS. 
          YEAH. 
          WHERE WOULD THAT BE? YEAH, THAT'S A BIG QUESTION. 
          I THINK THAT COULD FALL UNDER MANY OF THEM. 
          BUT LIKE ONE THAT STICKS OUT TO ME IS LIKE ENHANCING THE CITY'S EXISTING SUPPORTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          SO IF THERE'S SOME CERTAIN BASIC NEEDS OR RESOURCES THAT ARE NEEDED BY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, THE CITY IS NOT MEETING, I THINK IT WOULD FALL UNDER A CATEGORY LIKE THAT. 
          THIS ISN'T A COMPREHENSIVE LIST. 
          SO TODAY IN OUR ACTIVITY, LIKE THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THAT LIKE MUCH MORE NICHE AND DIRECT FEEDBACK. 
          UM, BUT JUST WANTED TO ASK IN THESE OVERALL BUCKETS OF THEMES, DO WE FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S MISSING? MM-HMM . 
          I GOT A THEME OF A DESIRE TO PROVIDE MORE SHELTER. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT IS A GREAT ONE. 
          THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN ENHANCING SERVICES, WHICH IS VERY BROAD. 
          YEAH. 
          WHATEVER. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IN 
          [00:15:01]
INCREASING HOUSING ACCESS RESOURCES FOR HOMES AND THEN SHELTERING THOSE THAT ARE ON STREETS YEAH. 
          THAT ARE SHELTER. 
          THAT IS A GREAT ONE. 
          I THINK. 
          UM, I'M GONNA PLUG INTO OUR, MY MIRO BOARD. 
          ARE Y'ALL FAMILIAR WITH MIRO? OKAY. 
          IT'S QUITE A COMPLICATED APPLICATION. 
          SO I'M GONNA DO IT. 
          UM, I'M GONNA WALK THROUGH IT, BUT I'M JUST GONNA, JUST A TEMPLATE FOR US TO FACILITATE THIS FEEDBACK SESSION. 
          WHAT I'LL ALSO SAY IT'S GETTING THAT SET UP. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, AS YOU SAW THERE WAS EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF, UH, SORT OF SURVEY INPUT AND THAT'S ALL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALL THAT RAW DATA THAT'S BEING ANALYZED. 
          UM, AND THAT WILL BE ALL PART OF THE COMMUNITY VOICE REPORT THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT, UH, IN THE NEXT LIKE MONTH OR TWO. 
          AND SO YOU'LL HAVE A LOT MORE DETAIL ON, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL SO THAT WE REALLY ABBREVIATE DOWN THAT CONVERSATION. 
          UM, AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO COME BACK AND REPORT OUT TO YOU ALL ONCE THAT REPORT GETS TO MADE PUBLIC. 
          UM, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A MORE IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS GIVEN KIND ALL THE INPUT THAT WAS TAKEN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. 
          SO THIS INPUT SUGGESTION WAS MORE FOR THE CITY THAN FOR FOR THE PEOPLE YES. 
          TO GET THEIR INPUT CORRECT. 
          THAN IT WAS TO INFORM THEM. 
          CORRECT. 
          EXACTLY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YES. 
          SO IT'S THE SURVEYS THAT WAS FIRST SEND OUT. 
          I WAS THERE AND THAT WAS MADE CLEAR FOR THE WHICH ONE? THE OPEN HOUSE. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, NO, THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION. 
          YES, YES, YES. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S HELPFUL INFORMATION. 
          I THINK IT WAS PARTIALLY TO SURE WHAT THAT WAS. 
          OKAY. 
          I NEED TO GET, BUT OH, OKAY. 
          THAT'S HELPFUL. 
          FEEDBACK. 
          FEEDBACK. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THERE WAS TWO DIFFERENT POINTS OF FE LIKE, UH, OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE FEEDBACK. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, I THINK ALVIN MENTIONED LIKE THERE IS A LOT MORE DATA ANALYSIS THAT WE WANTED TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL TODAY, BUT IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, LIKE WE'RE KIND OF JUST GOING STRAIGHT TO THE THEMES TO GATHER YOUR FEEDBACK. 
          UM, BUT IF THERE'S LIKE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO COME BACK AND PRESENT ON MORE SPECIFIC OF THE DATA POINTS TO KIND OF WHAT CAME OUT OF THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE. 
          'CAUSE WE HAVE THAT ANALYSIS. 
          I, I'D BE, I'D LOVE TO DO THAT IF THAT'S OF INTEREST. 
          BUT THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK IN THE SAME AREA. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THAT ACTUALLY IS MORE GEARED TOWARDS INFORMING PEOPLE THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE'RE, THAT THE CITY IS DOING FOR THEM. 
          YEAH. 
          INSTEAD OF JUST GETTING THEIR FEEDBACK, JUST TELLING THEM, THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN DO AND IF YOU NEED, IF YOU WANT TO HELP, THESE ARE THE OUTLETS WHERE YOU CAN HELP. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OFF, OFF TRACK, BUT WE ARE, OUR OFFICE IS PLANNING TO DO MORE PROACTIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHERE IT'S MORE OF A MIXTURE OF THAT WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO TO PROMOTE OUTDOOR THE WORK THAT THE CITY IS DOING. 
          AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, DISPELLING MYTHS ABOUT HOMELESSNESS. 
          RIGHT. 
          BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT THERE. 
          SO, UM, BUT I WOULD SAY FOR THIS EFFORT, THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS ON GETTING AS MUCH INPUT AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          SO WE DO HAVE SIX THEMES AND LIMITED TIME, BUT AGAIN, THIS IS GONNA STAY OPEN, UM, UNTIL THE END OF THIS WEEK. 
          MURAL'S A LITTLE BIT COMPLICATED, SO I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ALL MY PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          IF THERE'S JUST OPEN-ENDED FEEDBACK YOU'D LIKE TO PROVIDE TO ME, LIKE WITHIN THESE THEMES, LIKE I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO OUR ANALYSIS. 
          UM, THE COMMITTEE INDIVIDUAL WE REVIEW AS A CITIZEN. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S NOT REPRESENTING. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THERE'S NO DECISION MAKING BEING MADE HERE. 
          IT'S JUST YOUR GENERAL FEEDBACK AS EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, THERE'S A ISSUE THAT YOU WANTED RECOMMEND THAT HIGHLIGHTS ON BEHALF OF THE VOICE OF ASEC. 
          YES. 
          THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE HERE. 
          ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE PUTTING INTO MIRO WOULD BE AS AN . 
          LOVE THOSE ROBERTS RULES. 
          SO COMPLICATED. 
          UM, OKAY, WE'RE JUST GONNA DIVE RIGHT IN. 
          SO AS Y'ALL CAN SEE HERE, WE HAVE A THEME, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR SIX THEMES. 
          ENHANCE THE CITY'S EXISTING SUPPORTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          WE HAVE GOALS IN THIS DARK BLUE. 
          SO THESE ARE JUST OVERARCHING GOALS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF OUR ANALYSIS WITH OUR, WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO INCREASING AND ENHANCING OUTREACH SERVICES IS AN EXAMPLE OF A GOAL. 
          AND THEN UNDERNEATH OUR GOALS, WE HAVE SOME STRATEGIES. 
          SO THESE ARE MORE LIKE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO GET US TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL. 
          SO DOUG, I THINK YOU HAD MENTIONED MORE SHELTERS. 
          THAT'S A SPECIFIC STRATEGY THAT WE CAN, THAT 
          [00:20:01]
WE CAN INPUT HERE TO GET, TO HELP US TO GET, REACH OUR GOALS. 
          UM, SO TODAY I REALLY, THIS IS A LITTLE COMPLICATED, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL. 
          WHERE ARE SOME GAPS? SO UNDER, UM, ENHANCING THE CITY'S EXISTING SUPPORTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM, DO Y'ALL FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANY GAPS HERE WITHIN OUR GOALS OR STRATEGIES THAT AREN'T BEING MET? SO FOR GOALS, WE HAVE INCREASE AND ENHANCE OUTREACH SERVICES, EXPAND ACCESS TO, THAT'S KIND OF SIMILAR, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SERVICE LOCATION HERE. 
          UM, DEVELOP SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES, INVEST IN STAFF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA GO IN. 
          IS THIS ROLE RELATED TO THE FIRST THEME? YES. 
          YEAH. 
          WHICH IS ENHANCING THE CITIES. 
          YEAH, THAT'S TOTALLY OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, ACCESS TO GOVERNANCE. 
          MM. 
          I LOVE THAT. 
          UM, WHEN YOU SAY OTHER BASIC NEEDS, CAN YOU, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC? A SAFE, A SAFE PLACE AND I WASN'T SURE IF YEAH. 
          RESTAURANT, BUT YEAH, RESTROOMS, BATHROOM, FOOD, BASICALLY EATING AND COOLING SHOWERS. 
          YEAH. 
          COOL. 
          DANG, YOU GUYS GOT GOOD IDEAS. 
          OKAY. 
          I ALSO HAVE CHRISTIAN OVER HERE HELPING ME TAKE NOTES SO IT'S NOT JUST ME ALONE. 
          MM. 
          STORAGE. 
          THEY GET THEIR STUFF. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M HEARING STORAGE. 
          YEAH, LET'S DO 1% A TIME. 
          'CAUSE WE ONLY HAVE TWO PEOPLE TAKING NOTES. 
          UM, AND I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CAPTURING YOU GUYS' Y'ALL'S FEEDBACK. 
          UM, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE STORAGE OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS. 
          WE HAVE ACCESS TO BASIC NEEDS SUCH AS PLACES TO REST, SIT AND RELAX, ACCESS TO CHARGE THEIR PHONES. 
          ALSO, I'M AN AWFUL SPELLER, SO IF YOU CATCH THAT, I'M SORRY. 
          . 
          YES. 
          HOTPOTS. 
          HOT SPOTS LAUNCH MAYBE, UH, SOME COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR SOMETHING. 
          THEY CAN HAVE ALL THEIR BASIC THERE INSTEAD OF PACKAGE OVER TO THE MULTI-SERVICE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL THAT MULTI. 
          SO MAYBE PARTNERING WITH A CHURCH OR SOMETHING. 
          I LOVE THAT IDEA. 
          AND I THINK THAT KIND OF FALLS UNDER ONE OF OUR GOALS OF LIKE EXPANDING ACCESS AND ENHANCING SERVICES IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND NOT JUST THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER. 
          I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S COME UP A LOT IS LIKE THE NEED FOR, UM, AND OTHER SERVICE POINTS WITHIN THE CITY THAT ARE KIND OF ALL ENCOMPASSING. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, IN, IN RELATION TO THE LOCATIONS, ONE OF THE, UM, COMPLAINTS I DO GET, UM, IN REGARDS TO THE MSC IS JUST ACCESS THERE. 
          I DO NOT THINK THAT IT'S HAD, UM, THE SHADOWS. 
          SO MAYBE, UM, JUST EXPANDING THAT SURFACE. 
          OKAY. 
          A LITTLE BIT MORE, LIKE MORE EXPANSION, MORE FREQUENCY, SO WHAT THEY CAN GET. 
          AND THAT EVEN, AND ONCE YOU EXPAND THE LOCATION, NOT JUST TO MC BUT TO THOSE OTHER LOCATIONS AS WELL. 
          OH, LOVE THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          ALSO THE BUS PATHS. 
          THE BUS PATHS  BECAUSE PEOPLE IN MY AREA CAN'T GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GO WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. 
          AND SHUTTLES AREN'T BEING PROVIDED OFTEN ENOUGH AND THEY WON'T BE. 
          'CAUSE IF THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE DOCTOR, HOW DID THEY GET THERE? YEAH. 
          THEY, THEY HAVE TO GO TO AN APPOINTMENT. 
          HOW DID THEY MAKE IT THERE IN TIME? NOT BEING SERVICED IN MY AREA. 
          YEAH. 
          SO REALLY SERIOUSLY THAT, SO MO MORE, WOULD IT BE MORE BUS ACCESS POINTS, LIKE MORE BUS STOPS OR WOULD IT BE ACCESS TO BUS PASSES? PASSES THAT USED TO BE ASSISTANCE. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS NOW, BUT WE'RE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GET A BUS PASS. 
          OH, THAT'S, THAT'S MONTHLY. 
          IS MONTHLY. 
          UH, LOADED UP WITH WHAT? LIKE SOMETHING LIKE 2025, UH, RIGHT. 
          RIGHTS. 
          RIGHTS, YES. 
          LOVE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          BUT THEY HAVE TO APPLY FOR IT. 
          AND THE APPLICATIONS AREN'T BEING GIVEN OUT IN OUR AREA AND THEN DELIVERED IN OUR AREA. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE APPLICATIONS GIVEN OUT IN OUR AREA AND THEN THE BUS PASSES BEING 
          [00:25:01]
DELIVERED TO OUR AREA OR OUR PEOPLE THROUGH THE MOBILE ACCESS UNITS. 
          THAT WOULD BE TREMENDOUS HELP TO OUR PEOPLE. 
          AND I GO BACK AND, UM, KEEP TYPING ON THIS. 
          NO, YOU'RE GOOD. 
          UM, JUST TO REITERATE ON THE STORAGE MM-HMM . 
          SO JUST AS I MENTIONED LIKE THE DIFFERENT LOCATION, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR THOSE STORAGE AS WELL. 
          NOT JUST MAYBE ONE OR TWO CENTRAL, BUT MAYBE ONCE YOU IDENTIFY THE AREAS WHERE YOU CAN EXPAND THE SERVICE AREA, THEN MAYBE HAVING, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE JUST LIKE WHAT SHE JUST MENTIONED, WHEN ONCE THEY DO THE BUS PASSES, THEY'RE ABLE TO BRING, YOU GO TO THE JOB AND YOU GO TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, THEY REALLY DO NEED. 
          SO THEY'RE STILL SOMEWHERE. 
          YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT POINT. 
          I MORE S SOMEWHERE IN THE C SERVICE. 
          OOPS. 
          THANK IN THE, IN THE HOTSPOT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S, I MEAN THEY USED TO BE AND WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN METRO, THEY DO UH, LOW INCOME BUS PASSES AND I THINK, UH, UPSS THERE'S A LOT OF AGENCIES AROUND LONG BEACH THAT I SEEN THAT WE OFFER THE BUS PASSES AND YEAH. 
          BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THEM TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COME ALL THE MEET DOWNTOWN, GET THEM. 
          SO IT'S KINDA ABOUT THAT LIKE OUTREACH AND HOW ARE WE ENGAGING FOLKS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BUS PROGRAMS, PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION ON THOSE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T DOWNTOWN. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THERE'S PLENTY OUT THERE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          NOT JUST REACHING OUT CASE MANAGER. 
          A LOT OF THEM DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRAM. 
          THEY CAN'T GET DOWN THERE, THEY JUST STAY WHERE THEY'RE AT. 
          AND THEN THERE'S STUFF FOR, AND, AND IN THAT POINT, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT SERVICES UNFORTUNATELY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THERE'S A LOT TO DO WHEN THERE'S STUFF THAT DOESN'T. 
          SO BEING ABLE TO ALSO MAYBE DO SOME, UM, NOT THAT, I MEAN YOU'RE ALREADY DOING OUTREACH, BUT I HATE TO LIKE PUT IT IN CORPORATE TERMS, BUT MARKETING YEAH. 
          WAY WHERE PUTTING BUYERS OUT AND THINGS, DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S AVAILABLE. 
          AND ONCE THESE LOCATIONS AND THINGS ARE ESTABLISHED, THEN ADDING THOSE ADDRESSES TO IT. 
          NOT LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE WITH YOUR MSC CARD. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT YOU HAVE LESS I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT ON THAT LITTLE CARD THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO WITH ALL THOSE ADDRESSES ON IT MM-HMM . 
          MOST ARE ALL DOWNTOWN. 
          NO, WHAT I'M SAYING IS THEY'RE . 
          I NEED, I NEED IT TO, WE NEED IT TO BE DIVIDED BY AT LEAST BY DISTRICT. 
          YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S WHAT I'M THAT WAY KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT THERE. 
          THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          THE LITTLE PICTURE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THEN THAT WAY EVERYTHING THERE AND MAYBE EVEN WITH THE LITTLE MAP. 
          YEAH. 
          GREAT FEEDBACK Y'ALL IN THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THE MORE, THE EASIER IT IS. 
          THE ONE THING I, I REMEMBER WORKING AT LASA IS WHEN WE HAD TO PUT THINGS OUT TO THE PUBLIC, WE HAVE TO WRITE IT AS IF WE WERE WRITING IT TO, YOU KNOW, SO JUST MAKE  YEAH. 
          BEING MINDFUL. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THAT IDEA. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          I AM GONNA MOVE US ALONG INTO A DIFFERENT THEME. 
          JUST BE IN THE INTEREST OF TIME. 
          UM, THE NEXT ONE IS INCREASING SAFETY. 
          SO I THINK THE WAY WE SOLVE THIS WITH THROUGHOUT OUR ENGAGEMENT IS INCREASING SAFETY FOR EVERYBODY IN LONG BEACH. 
          UM, FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, BUT THEN ALSO FOR OUR RESIDENTS. 
          UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HEARD A LOT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. 
          UM, HERE. 
          SORRY. 
          I WILL HOP, ACTUALLY I THINK CHRISTIAN GOT THAT COMMENT. 
          'CAUSE I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER NOTETAKER RIGHT THERE. 
          THANK YOU CHRISTIAN. 
          UM, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING AROUND SAFETY FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR FOR LONG BEACH RESIDENTS THAT YOU ALL FEEL LIKE IS IMPORTANT TO BE, TO INCLUDE? YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW BUSY WOULD BE, BUT YOU KNOW, SINCE WE HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM HAVING PAYPHONE, WHICH I REALLY HATE THAT BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY HAS SENSE, BUT KIND OF LIKE ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING AT THE EMERGENCY, LIKE YEAH. 
          OR YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE EMERGENCY STATION. 
          THEY CAN PUSH A BUTTON, THEY CAN PICK UP THE PHONE AND IT AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT TO SO THAT THEY CAN GET LIKE THIS EMERGENCY, THEY CAN GET THAT HELP. 
          SO I, THE STUDENT DOESN'T. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THAT IDEA. 
          YOU SAY ON ADDITIONAL SERVICE HAVE 
          [00:30:01]
ONE BLOCK, IT SAYS ENHANCE SUBSTITUTES AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES GLOBALLY AMBITION. 
          BUT DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THAT? YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT POINT. 
          I THINK THE BEAUTY IN, OF THE NATURE OF A STRATEGIC PLAN IS THAT WE CAN DREAM BIG AND IT SERVES AS A ROADMAP TO HELP US AS A CITY FOCUS IN ON PRIORITIZING HOW WE GET THERE. 
          SO STRATEGIC, THIS STRATEGIC PLAN WILL REALLY LEND ITSELF TO LIKE LARGER, BIGGER BUCKETS OF WORK THAT WE WILL NARROW IN ON IN THE FUTURE. 
          UM, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO GET INTO THAT NICHE A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          BUT YEAH, WHAT I HAVE COME RECENTLY, UH, NOT JUST IN LONG BEACH, BUT THE TENDENCY OF NOT PROVIDING THOSE KIND OF SERVICES IN THE SHELTER. 
          MM. 
          THAT WAY WE HAVE A CAPTIVE BODY SITTING IN THE SHELTER EACH NIGHT. 
          WE PROVIDE EDUCATION SERVICES TO THEM AT THAT POINT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE HAD JUST SORT OF INFORMATION GROUPS THAT GAVE UP INFORMATION ON HOW, UM, RECOVERY PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND UH, OF COURSE I WOULD  PEOPLE THAT HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ADDICTION, BUT TO ME IT JUST SEEMS THAT WORTH NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE AUDIENCES SITTING THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I'VE WORKED THE CHUCK, WHICH IS PRETTY DAMN BORING. 
          NOTHING GOES ON , SO WHY NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TIME AND YEAH. 
          THEY HAVE, CAN I SHARE WITH THESE SESSIONS? MM-HMM . 
          JERRY, I I'M GONNA TAKE YOU BACK OFF OF YOU JIM. 
          I'M COMPLETELY AGREE. 
          SO WHEN I USED TO RUN THE, THE WOMEN'S SHELTER IN SOUTH LA, I HAD THAT SAME SPOT AND THAT'S WHAT I CHANGED THERE. 
          AND IT MADE A COMPLETE DIFFERENCE. 
          I GOT 73% OF MY PARTICIPANTS IN A PROGRAM, HOW, WHATEVER IT WAS. 
          SO WE CREATED DIFFERENT PROGRAMS I HAD, AND ALSO I CREATED, UM, A CONTRACT WITH CATHERINE. 
          SO I HAD AN OFFICE WHERE CATHERINE SET UP WITH JUST ONE PERSON AND I ENCOURAGED THEM TO GO AND DO THEIR THERAPY. 
          AND AT FIRST EVERYBODY AT BRANCH, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ACQUAINTANCE AVAILABLE. 
          HMM. 
          SO IF IT'S THERE, THEY WILL COME. 
          WE DID, UM, I DID MOUS WITH USC AT LOCAL UNIVERSITIES. 
          SO WE DID HAVE THE, UM, UH, WAIT, THE THIRD YEAR PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS COME IN AND THEY DID DO GROUP THERAPY INTERNS MM-HMM . 
          AND THEN, WELL THEY WEREN'T MY INTERNS, THEY HAD TO DO IT FOR, YOU KNOW, THE CLASS. 
          BUT THEY WERE THIRD. 
          AND THEN WE HAD, UM, OTHER STUDENTS, UM, UH, MOU WITH ANOTHER SCHOOL THERE WHO 'CAUSE UP, I BUILT A, UH, COMPUTER CENTER FACULTY. 
          OH. 
          SO WE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO WHAT COMPUTER SEARCH, HOW YOU, LIKE, WE DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT, THAT WAS MY POINT. 
          THEY'RE HERE, HOW CAN I GET THEM? I ONLY HAVE IT FOR NINE DAYS, SOME FOR SIX MONTHS. 
          SO HOW COULD WE USE THIS TIME SO THAT THEY'RE NOT REPEATING THE SAME CYCLE MM-HMM . 
          SEE THEM AGAIN BY THE CITIZEN. 
          HOW CAN THAT DOWN? YEAH. 
          SO THAT, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT. 
          I THINK THAT'S A DEPENDENCY. 
          I'VE COME ACROSS IT A LOT TO ASSUME THAT PEOPLE KNOW STUFF THEY DON'T. 
          VERY TRUE. 
          A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S WHERE WE'RE AT AND WE NEED TO BE GIVING MORE EDUCATION AND JUST GETTING PEOPLE STARTED. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT POINTS. 
          WE DID A ROUND TABLE A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH, UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR SHELTERS AND TRYING TO LEARN FROM THEM WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCES HAS BEEN. 
          AND I FEEL LIKE OVERWHELMINGLY LIKE THO THOSE TYPES OF RESOURCES ARE WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR. 
          AND ALSO SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT OF IT WAS LIKE PEER TO PEER LEARNING. 
          SO LEARNING FROM ONE ANOTHER. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, AS PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, THERE'S THAT LIKE INHERENT TRUST. 
          SO THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INTERESTING TOO. 
          COMMON RESPONSE. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THAT. 
          NOT TRUE. 
          YEAH. 
          THE OTHER THING TO ADD TO THAT IS THE FACT THAT THEY, UM, TO ADD INTO YOUR CLASSES, IT WOULD BE, UM, ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO PLACE SOMEONE IN A HOME OR IN THEIR, THEIR NEW APARTMENT, GIVING THEM CLASSES ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THAT HOME. 
          HOW TO BE, YEAH. 
          YES. 
          YES. 
          THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO PUT IT. 
          YEAH, I DO. 
          SO SAFETY AS . 
          YES. 
          BUT AS I'M LISTENING, IT SEEMS BE GETTING VERY BROAD. 
          MM-HMM 
          [00:35:01]
. 
          SO I'M WONDERING MORE INFORMATION YOU AND I DON'T ADDED, BUT ONE WAY IS TO JUST ASK PEOPLE, BOTH THE HOMELESS AND THE RESIDENTS, WHAT ARE THE MAIN THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL UNSAFE? YEAH. 
          FOR ME, I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN THERE IS A MENTAL GUILT PERSON NEAR ME. 
          THERE'S PSYCHOTIC AND ACTIVE. 
          THAT'S ONE CASE. 
          ANOTHER CASE IS WHEN THERE ARE GROUPS OF HOMELESS AND THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A STREET, YOU KNOW, WITH HOMELESS ALL AROUND ME WHO MADE ME BIG AND MAYBE A LITTLE AGITATED. 
          SO I FEEL A LITTLE UNSAFE IN THOSE TWO SITUATIONS. 
          AND THE HOMELESS IN THE SAME HOMELESS, WHAT MAKES THEM FEEL UNSAFE IS IF THEY NEED BUS PASSES. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          YEAH. 
          IS IT THEY, THEY SOMETIMES NEED TO GET OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY NEED A BUS PASS MM-HMM . 
          IS IT WHATEVER. 
          AND MAYBE FROM THAT YOU COULD CALL OUT. 
          WHAT ARE THE MORE IMPORTANT, UM, THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS, BUT I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S THIS SORT OF THIS QUESTION OF WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNSAFE. 
          YEAH. 
          BOTH HOMELESS AND THE NON, AND YOU WILL GET A LOT OF RESPONSES, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA GET SOME MAJOR BE YEAH. 
          BECAUSE SLEEPS MAKE THEM FEEL UNSAFE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THEM. 
          BUT GOING BACK TO WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, BASIC NEEDS AND A PLACE TO BE IF, IF PEOPLE WERE GIVEN A SAFE PLACE TO BE DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, I THINK IT WOULD IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY FOR EVERYONE. 
          BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING , THEY THEMSELVES DON'T FEEL SAFE. 
          AND CERTAIN SOME OF THE BANK CONDITIONS THAT DOUG DOESN'T FEEL SAFE, THEN WE, WE, NOBODY FEELS SAFE WHEN THERE'S SOMEBODY THREATENING WITHIN A COUPLE OF FEET OF YOU. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR ANYBODY. 
          SO IF WE COULD, UM, AND I HOPE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WHENEVER THIS DOCUMENT IS DONE. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT OUR SHELTER SYSTEM, WE'VE GOT OUR MAC BANDS, WE'VE GOT ALL OF THESE TOOLS IN, IN, IN USAGE RIGHT NOW. 
          I HOPES THAT WE CAN ADDRESS, UH, BASIC NEEDS AND PUBLIC SAFE TO YOU IMMEDIATELY. 
          YEAH. 
          ON YOUR OWN DISCUSSIONS. 
          AND WE KNOW, UM, WE KNOW SOME OF THE SAFE PLACES AND WE KNOW SOME OF THE UNSAFE PLACES AND THE SHELTER, UM, THOSE, THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SHELTER, THEY WANT HELP. 
          THEY WANT SOURCE, THEY WANT CONNECTIONS. 
          THEY WANT THE BEST THING TO HAVE. 
          THEY WANT, THEY WANT ALL OF IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY BE STABLE. 
          THEY DON'T WANNA STAY. 
          YEAH. 
          MM-HMM . 
          I, I LET SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT KIMBERLY AND PAT AND ANOTHER SAID THAT WOULD  NEED FOR NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK BASIC NEEDS ARE AT THE, THE FOUNDATION OF ALL LIKE, OF EVERYTHING, RIGHT. 
          LIKE YOU YEAH. 
          YOU'RE EVEN SAYING LIKE, IF WE MEET THESE BASIC NEEDS, LIKE SO MANY OF THESE THEMES OR BUCKETS OF WORK WILL ALMOST BE CLEARED BECAUSE ONCE PEOPLE'S BASIC NEEDS ARE MET, THERE'S A LOT, THERE'S A LOT THAT HAPPENS FOR THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL. 
          SO REALLY ALSO, YEAH. 
          JUST, JUST TO BE CLEAR, LIKE I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS THAT WILL HELP US SORT OF PRIORITIZE AND THINK, YOU KNOW, MORE MEDIUM TO LONG TERM. 
          BUT AS YOU ALL KNOW, YOU'RE GETTING REPORTS EVERY, EVERY MONTH. 
          LIKE THE, THE SERVICE HAS NOT STOPPED. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE HAVE, WE'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE. 
          SO, UH, JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT LIKE ALL ON PAUSE WHILE WE'RE DOING SEPARATE, BUT WE'RE CONTINUING TO. 
          SO YEAH, I'VE HEARD, UH, STORIES ABOUT THE SECURITY IN THE SHELTERS AND THAT THEY'RE NOT ACTIVELY PROVIDING SECURITY FOR THE SHELTERED PEOPLE. 
          AND A LOT OF THEM ARE AFRAID TO GO BECAUSE, HMM. 
          HELPFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY'VE EVEN TOLD ME THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GUARDING THEM ARE THE WORST OFFENDERS. 
          HMM. 
          THEY TREAT THEM LIKE DIRT AND SO THEY DON'T WANNA GO. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT. 
          I'M GONNA MOVE US ONTO OUR NEXT THEME, UM, WHICH IS IMPROVING THE COORDINATED SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          SO THIS COULD MEAN FOSTERING PARTNERSHIPS TO ENHANCE SERVICES WITH DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVIDERS. 
          UM, SORRY. 
          IMPROVED INTERNAL SYSTEMS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN BETWEEN THE CITY OF LONG BEACH WITHIN OUR OWN DEPARTMENTS ARE ALSO EXTERNALLY WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS. 
          UM, HAVING HOUSING FOR SPECIFIC GROUPS. 
          UM, YEAH. 
          [00:40:01]
KIND OF ANYTHING UNDER THE SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          BIG THING I SEE IS THEY DON'T FEEL COORDINATION. 
          SO THE BASIC EFFORTS WE HAVE LIKE REDUCING UN SHELTER AND PROVIDING SHELTER BEDS, REDUCING HOMELESS. 
          BUT I DON'T SEE DATA FROM ALL OF THESE OTHER AGENCIES FOR WOMEN CHILDREN. 
          SO I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. 
          I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME INFORMATION AND THE MAYOR SAYS WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR TARGET. 
          CAN WE DO TO ELIMINATE CHILDHOOD LESSNESS, YOUTH , THE YOUTH HOMELESS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO MAYORS MM-HMM . 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          THAT WAS MONTHS AGO. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          MM. 
          UH, IN FACT, THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES ARE NOT PART OF SO HOW CAN YOU, UH, YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH YES. 
          AND GET DATA FROM. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE A SUGGESTION. 
          WOMEN, CHILDREN, FAMILIES, OR OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF US, WE, WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER AND GETTING DATA FROM THEM. 
          WHAT ARE THEY DOING? WHAT ARE THEIR CHALLENGES? AND ALSO THE, THE OTHER THING THAT HAVE COME TO LEARN IS THE TIP COUNT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          WILL HOLD A NUMBER AROUND THE PERSON VOLUNTEERS, I GUESS TO SAY THEY ARE SHELTERED. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT A PORTION OF THEM ARE SHELTERED BY CITY LINEAGE FACILITIES. 
          OTHERS ARE SHELTERED IN THE OTHER SHELTER. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO THAT NUMBER IS A, A BLENDED NUMBER WHICH REALLY ONLY WE CAN CONTROL CITY CONTROL. 
          IT IS SHELTERED THERE FOR THOSE SHELTERED IN THE, IN THE UNSHELTERED COUNT. 
          THE COUNT ALSO INCLUDES SHELTERED THAT ARE IN OTHER MOUNTAIN CITY SHELTER. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WE HAVE THIS HUGE NUMBER, THIS BIG NUMBER. 
          AND THE CITY HAS A PORTION THAT'S ACCOUNTABLE, BUT WE DON'T, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ARE IN THESE OTHER PROGRAMS. HOW MANY ARE, WHAT ARE THEIR SHELTER BEDS? HOW MANY ARE THEY SHELTERING? WELL IT'S JUST COORDINATE. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT IN TERMS OF LIKE THE BIG TIME DATA. 
          LIKE RIGHT NOW OR SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          COVER THAT. 
          MAYBE THERE ARE NON CITY OPERATED SHELTERS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE BIG COUNTY AND SO WE DO MORE TOWARD THEM. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT'S MORE ACCURATE THAN JUST WE'RE NOT JUST KIND OF PEOPLE IN CITY OPERATED SHELTERS AND WE HAVE A WIDER RANGE. 
          THERE WILL BE SOME THAT MIGHT NOT BE KIND OF, BECAUSE IT'S MORE NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT. 
          YOU'RE NOT SAYING THERE'S A NUMBER GENERATED FROM THAT. 
          AND I THINK THAT NUMBER IN THIS MEETING IS RELATED TO THE CITY. 
          WHAT DO WE HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR? RIGHT. 
          IT'S THE CITY. 
          IT'S NOT THE OTHER LOCATION. 
          SO THE NUMBER, IF THE NUMBER IS 1300 TOTAL, I, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW OF THE SHELTER, HOW MANY ARE, UH, OUR SHELTER, HOW MANY ARE THIS SHELTER? THAT SHELTER? IS IT, IS IT CUT UP THAT WAY? I DON'T THINK IT IS. 
          WE CAN IDENTIFY THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          IN TERMS OF WHAT WE REPORT OUT, NO, WE DON'T NECESSARILY PROVIDE LIKE A PUBLIC FACING, LIKE THIS IS HOW MANY SHELTER BEDS ARE WITHIN OUR PURVIEW AND THIS IS HOW MANY SHELTER BEDS ARE OPERATED BY NONPROFITS. 
          WE, WE DON'T GENERALLY DO THAT, BUT UM, THAT, THAT AMOUNT INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO. 
          YEAH. 
          SO AGAIN, COORDINATING, I THINK THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TOUCHING ON IS MAYBE LIKE MULTIPLE SYSTEMS TOO, RIGHT? SO LIKE, UM, WE'RE NOT DOING LIKE A FAMILY COUNT, RIGHT? SO IF THERE'S LIKE FAMILY SHELTERS STILL HERE LONG, WE CAN GO THERE. 
          ANYTHING ELSE TO BUY LA COUNTY? NO. 
          THOSE, NO. 
          IF THEY'RE, IF THEY'RE IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF LONG BEACH, THOSE ARE OURS. 
          WE COUNT THEM AND WE COUNT THEM. 
          BUT WE, YEAH. 
          WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FILLING THOSE BEDS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT IS THIS LIKE JURISDICTIONAL KIND OF QUESTION MARK THERE. 
          BUT WE DO END UP COUNTING ANYBODY WHO IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ON THE NIGHT OF THE COUNT IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF LONG BEACH IS COUNTED FOR THE POINT IN TIME COUNT. 
          WELL I GET THAT FULL. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S THE SHELTER THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE WHEN WE TALK HERE, WE'RE TALKING MAINLY ABOUT WHAT THE CITY YEAH. 
          IS OVERSIGHT. 
          SO I THINK IT, IT MIGHT BE A DISTINC BETWEEN LIKE EVERYDAY COORDINATION, RIGHT? SO IN TERMS OF WHO IS REFERRING TO THOSE FEDS, THAT'S THE CITY OR THAT'S NOT THE CITY. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF THE POINT IN TIME COUNT THAT IS YOU ARE KIND. 
          YES. 
          BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE BACK TO WHAT I SAID, WOMEN CHILDREN. 
          MM-HMM. 
          YEAH. 
          NO, THAT'S A GREAT POINT. 
          DISAGGREGATING OUR DATA TO MAKE SURE 
          [00:45:02]
MM-HMM . 
          THE SAME METRICS. 
          YEAH. 
          IF THEY'RE MEASURING THINGS THIS WAY AND THINGS THIS WAY, IT MAY BE VERY HARD TO PUT IT ON. 
          MM-HMM . 
          DO YOU, DO YOU EVER SORT YOUR DATA OUT BASED ON DISTRICT? WE HAVE THAT ABILITY NOW. 
          SO WE'VE BEEN LAYERING. 
          THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS IN MY DISTRICT. 
          SO I THINK THESE GUYS WOULD DO, WE FEEL WE FIELDED A LOT OF QUESTIONS LIKE IN THAT VEIN. 
          AND SO OUR HMIR DATA PLATFORM HAS ONLY RECENTLY LIKE EXPANDED ITS ABILITY TO CAPTURE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION IN WAYS THAT ARE USABLE FOR US. 
          WE HAVE STARTED TO CREATE MAP LAYERS AND SO WE ARE STARTING TO INPUT INFORMATION BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. 
          WE NOW HAVE AN MAP LAYER IN OUR SYSTEM THAT DOES TRACK BY DISTRICT LOCATION. 
          AND SO FOR OUR OUTREACH SPECIFICALLY WHEN FOR OUR OUTREACH CLEAN GROUND FIELD, THEY'RE NOW CAPTURING THAT GEOLOCATION. 
          YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAN, I WOULD LOVE TO DEVELOP DATA POINT OF TIME, POINT TIME, UH, DONE BY DISTRICT TO SEE IT. 
          JUST TO DETERMINE OKAY, THE SERVICES NOT ONLY THE DIS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS IN YOUR DISTRICT, BUT ALSO THE SERVICES THAT THEY ARE ACCESSING OR NOT ACCESSING. 
          WE COULD TELL A LOT BY THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          ABOUT WHAT IS NEEDED IN EACH DISTRICT IN WHICH DISTRICT IS ABUNDANT WITH PEOPLE. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S A GREAT POINT. 
          I'M SORRY Y'ALL, I'M GONNA MOVE US ALONG 'CAUSE WE ONLY HAVE LIKE, I'D SAY LIKE 10 MORE MINUTES AND THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT MORE I NEED TO COMMUNICATE TO. 
          YEAH. 
          . 
          NO, APPRECIATE THE DIALOGUE Y'ALL SURE. 
          OUR FEEDBACK THAT A GOOD SESSION IN OUR FEEDBACK, WHICH IF WE ONLY HAVE 10 MINUTES, IT MAY NOT BE TIME YOU COME BACK IF IT'S MORE LIKE REPORT WHAT YOU, THE DATA YOU GATHERED FROM THE SESSION MM-HMM . 
          WE COULD DO IT IN 10 MINUTES. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GATHER OUR INFORMATION, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE, AND I LIKE IT. 
          I AM YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK LET'S, I WOULD RECOMMEND WE KEEP DOING IT TO A POINT AND THEN IF YOU NEED TO COME BACK YOU CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE WORKING ON A TIMELINE WITH OUR COMMUNITY VOICE REPORT. 
          EXTINCT FEELING. 
          WE WEREN'T, LOOK, THEY WEREN'T, YOU WEREN'T LOOKING FOR OUR INPUT. 
          YOU WERE REPORTING TO US. 
          OH NO, I AM LOOKING FOR Y'ALL'S INPUT. 
          I FEEL LIKE THIS FEEDBACK SESSION HAS BEEN REALLY HELPFUL. 
          'CAUSE Y'ALL HAVE THAT, THAT, THAT NICHE PERSPECTIVE. 
          THAT WAS NOT CLEAR. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SORRY. 
          Y YEAH, WE'LL KEEP GOING. 
          AND AGAIN, I'M GONNA GIVE Y'ALL MY PERSONAL EMAIL. 
          SO THIS ISN'T THE LAST POINT OF FEEDBACK THAT LIKE Y'ALL WILL HAVE, UM, IF YOU HAVE OTHER IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS UNDER THOSE THEMES, WHICH I CAN SEND OUT AN EMAIL, UM, TO YOU ALL AS FOLLOW UP. 
          SO YOU HAVE THAT, UM, JUST SEE A COPY OF, OF THIS IN THE REPORTING FORMAT. 
          YES. 
          THAT WE CAN . 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THERE WILL BE THE, UM, WE WILL BE FINALIZING THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REPORT. 
          SO WE'LL GET TO NEXT STEPS IN, UH, IN A FEW MINUTES, BUT I JUST REALLY WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE FOCUSING IN ON YOUR FEEDBACK RIGHT NOW. 
          SO ANOTHER THEME WAS EXPAND TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS. 
          SO BUILDING CAPACITY WITHIN EXISTING SHELTERS. 
          Y'ALL KIND OF ALREADY TALKED ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          MAYBE MORE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS WITHIN OUR SHELTERS OR LIFE 1 0 1 SKILLS. 
          EXPLORING NEW INTERIM HOUSING MODELS. 
          UM, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF STUFF AROUND SHARED HOUSING, SO ANY IDEAS THERE WOULD BE APPRECIATED OR LEVERAGING PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTIES IS SOMETHING WE'VE HEARD AS WELL. 
          UM, ANYTHING UNDER THIS THEME THAT COMES TO MIND FOR EXPANDING TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS. 
          UM, YEAH, SO THAT'S LIKE A BUCKET OF, I THINK THAT'S, UM, ONE OF THE GOALS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THE ENGAGEMENT OF OUR ANALYSIS, OF OUR ENGAGEMENT. 
          THERE'S DIFFERENT NEW MODELS OF INTERIM HOUSING THAT HAVE KIND OF COME UP. 
          LIKE SHARED HOUSING IS A MODEL. 
          UM, I DID SOME RESEARCH LAST YEAR AROUND THIS REALLY INTERESTING MODEL OF LIKE PAIRING ESSENTIALLY COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD AN APARTMENT. 
          'CAUSE IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE WITH OLDER ADULTS. 
          SO PAIRING THEM, UM, TO KIND OF HELP THEM PREVENT FALL, PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING INTO HOMELESSNESS. 
          SO SOMETIMES THERE'S THOSE LIKE MORE INNOVATIVE FORMS OF, UM, HOUSING THAT ARE COMING UP. 
          SO WANTED TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE SEEING IN YOUR FIELDS OF WORK THAT WOULD KIND OF FALL UNDER THAT BUCKET. 
           
          [00:50:02]
AND, UM, RESTORING PEOPLE . 
          BUT I, I DID A LOT OF TIME VOLUNTEER AT THE, UM,  HOUSE AND FOR SUMMER, THE WOMEN EVEN , IT'S IT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER BEEN PART OF, AND IT, IT'S VERY THE, THE RESTORATION OF, OF SOME CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF, OF THAT COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO I THINK IT'S VERY DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HAVE CONGREGATE SHELTERS TO BUILD THAT KIND OF COMMUNITY, RIGHT. 
          LIKE THE WAY OUT THAT IF WE CAN, UM, BUILD SOME MODELS THAT HAVE COMMUNITY IN MIND AND UM, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MOVING ANOTHER TO THE WAY HOW WE NEED TO DO BETTER. 
          IF SOMEBODY IS SCREAMING IN A SHELTER, WE NEED TO THE BEST OF, WE CAN'T NUMB OURSELVES WITH WHAT WE DO ON THE STREETS AND ANOTHER LINE. 
          OKAY. 
          IT ALL HAS TO BE ADDRESS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          NOT SURE THE SHELTERS HERE , BUT, UH, IN MY MIND EXPERIENCE PEOPLE, UM, HAVE AN INTAKE AND SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT GOOD FOR SHELTERS. 
          YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY HAVE TO GET MEDICALLY CLEARED. 
          SO IF THE SHELTERS WITH THE CONTRACT FOR THE CITY, UM, I SURE THE HOMELESS DEPARTMENT  THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT ANYBODY RECOGNIZES SOMEONE THERE WITH THOSE KIND OF ISSUES, THEY SHOULD BE SCREENED BEFORE THEY'RE IN THE SHELTER. 
          HOW DO THEY SCREEN THE ISSUES IN TERMS OF LIKE MENTAL SCREAMING OR WHATEVER, NEED MORE ADVANCED CARE, THEN LET'S PROVIDE THE SHELTER. 
          UM, IS THAT HAPPENING? THAT BECOMES AN A DA ISSUE. 
          SO AS MUCH AS, YOU KNOW, IT CREATES ISSUES DENYING SOMEBODY SHELTER ACCESS,  SHELTER DUE TO A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE, A PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUE, YOU KNOW, LOSS THAT HAS GOTTEN AGGRESSIVE LAWSUITS AND HAS EVEN GOTTEN DEATH MOMENTS DUE TO DENYING SHELTER OR NOT ALLOWING FOR ACCOMMODATION. 
          I THINK THAT CREATES A LOT OF CHALLENGES. 
          THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES AND I THINK BETTER WAYS THAT WE CAN, UM, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY BEING, BEING LOOKED AT BY EXPANSION OF ENRICHED RESIDENTIAL CARE FOR PEOPLE THAT DO HAVE THE MORE SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT NEED A MORE ENRICHED SETTING. 
          HAVING RECUPERATIVE CARE BEDS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE RECOVERING FROM AN ACUTE PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITION. 
          UH, HAVING MORE NON CONGREGATE STYLE SHELTERS THAT ALLOW FOR A LITTLE MORE PRIVACY AND SPACE. 
          SO WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THAT. 
          UH, DMH PUT OUT THERE REQUESTS FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BRIDGE BEDS THAT ARE MORE MENTAL HEALTH FOCUS. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED TO BUILD OUT MORE SPECIALIZED SPACE. 
          WE DON'T RUN INTO ISSUES WHERE IT'S, AND I DON'T REALLY ACTUALLY HAVE A SPECIALIZED BED, BUT I CAN'T TURN YOU DOWN A, YOU KNOW, A PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH OR OTHER, YOU KNOW, DISABLED ION. 
          I THINK THOSE, SOME, THOSE, THE SORTING OUT OF PEOPLE, I HATE TO PUT IT LIKE THAT, BUT THE MENTAL ISSUES AND HAVING A SEPARATE FACILITY FOR THEM WOULD INCREASE THE SAFETY IN THE SHELTERS FOR MOST PEOPLE. 
          SO I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ALL OF THAT. 
          BUT , BECAUSE, UM, THAT'S WHY CONTRACT IN THAT SHELTER AND I HAD TO NOT ONLY PROTECT MY STAFF, BUT I HAD TO PROTECT MY, MY, I CALLED THE, THE PEOPLE WHO SHELTERED MY DESK. 
          AND SO I, WE HAD A CONTRACT, WHICH I DIDN'T AGREE WITH AND I DIDN'T, WASN'T A PART OF IT, BUT WE, THEY GAVE BEDS TO, UM, EXODUS. 
          AND SO I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME IN THERE BANGING THEIR HEAD ON, ON THE DOOR UNTIL THEY BLED. 
          I HAD ONE TRYING TO BOW THE EYE OUT. 
          I HAVE ONE RUN THROUGH AND HANDCUFF HERSELF TO THE BED, HAD ONE ATTACK PEOPLE. 
          SO WE WANNA SERVE EVERYONE. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LAWSUIT, BUT THAT CAN'T SUPERSEDE THE SAFETY OF THE GUESTS AND THE SHELTER AS WELL AS THE STAFF BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ORDERLIES, THEY'RE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT. 
          THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE STRAIGHT JACKETS AND ALL OF THAT. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF UNFAIR TO PUT 
          [00:55:01]
ONE TYPE ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT NEEDS MORE SPECIALIZED THINGS WITH THE OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE IT, IT'S DANGEROUS. 
          I'VE WITNESSED IT. 
          I'VE HAD TO LITERALLY PHYSICALLY IT'S DRAIN PEOPLE. 
          IT, IT IS DANGEROUS. 
          AND I, I UNDERSTAND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I GET IT ON BOTH SIDES, BUT I HAVE TO STICK UP FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE SHELTER WHO DON'T HAVE THOSE ISSUES AND THE STAFF THAT ARE NOT TRAINED IN THEIR STUFF. 
          WHAT TRYING TO DO, I MEAN, NO DOUBT IT MAKES RUNNING A SHELTER EXTREMELY, BUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT, WE SEE IT ON A DAILY BASIS WHERE IT'S LIKE, YEAH, THIS DOES MAKE HAVING A SHELTERED SPACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE SHARING SPACE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. 
          IT DOES CREATE SAFETY ISSUES, IT CREATES BURNOUT AND CHALLENGES FOR STAFF. 
          WE'RE TALKING A LOT OF THAT AND SHELTERS ARE GETTING PLAYED CLOSE TO MINIMUM WAGE. 
          SO THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT LIKE WE REALISTICALLY NEED TO ADDRESS OR WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SHELTER SYSTEMS THAT ARE, ARE CHALLENGING. 
          THERE'S SHIFTS AND THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THAT HOPEFULLY LEAD TO CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A PRETTY BROKEN SHELTER SYSTEM TO THIS THAT THAT IS REAL. 
          LIKE THERE IS NO, LIKE, WHAT'S THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING, YOU KNOW, WE WANT THE SPECIALIST RIGHT, WHO KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS. 
          WHAT'S THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING DMH INVOLVED AS FAR AS EVEN HELPING TO FUND A SEPARATE FACILITY BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR NICHE. 
          THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. 
          THAT PART MENTAL HEALTH. 
          HOW CAN WE GET THEM INVOLVED SO THAT WE CAN GET EVERYONE WHAT THEY NEED SAFELY AND SEPARATELY? AND THEY JUST CLOSED A $300 MILLION RFP OVER MULTIPLE YEARS. 
          SO THERE ARE PROPOSALS, YOU KNOW, GOING IN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. 
          THERE'S TOP ONE FUNDING THAT CAME THROUGH THAT IS TO CREATE MORE SPECIALIZED CARE SPACE. 
          UM, SO THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, THE LOSS OF GOING THROUGH THERE. 
          WERE PRE PROCUREMENT OF SHELTERS. 
          IT IS LIKELY GOING TO LEAD TO LOSS OF SOME BEDS BECAUSE THEY ARE READJUSTING THE RATES PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          RECOGNIZING LIKE SHELTERS CAN'T FUNCTION AT $50 A BED RATE OR YOU KNOW, A BED PER NIGHT. 
          LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE 24 7 CARE, YOU'RE PROVIDERS FOOD, YOU'RE PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, ENRICHMENT $50 PER NIGHT PER PERSON DOES NOT GO VERY AMAZING. 
          UM, SO ESPECIALLY WITH TODAY, UM, YOU KNOW, SO COSTS ARE BEING ADJUSTED. 
          UH, THERE ARE OTHER NEW FUNDING SOURCES COMING IN. 
          SO THERE IS ACTUALLY SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THIS SPACE AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS. 
          UM, SO I THINK THESE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT LIKE WE CAN'T JUST HAVE GENERAL SHELTER BEDS ACROSS THE BOARD. 
          UH, THERE HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, CONVERSATIONS AND EFFORTS WITH D MH ON A COUNTYWIDE LEVEL OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS AND A LOT OF STUFF THAT HAS FALLEN FLAT AND NOT ACTUALLY ULTIMATELY BEEN IMPLEMENTED. 
          BUT I THINK WE'VE GOTTA HAVE A MORE  SHELTER AS WE SYSTEM AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          COSTS NOT EASY AND CHEAP TO IMPLEMENT. 
          IT MEANS WE HAVE TO BE MORE SPACES. 
          BUT THOSE, THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT NOW TO MAKE THAT. 
          ONE OF MY  IS THAT, UM, IT SEEMS THE CITY HAS A STRATEGY, WHICH I THINK IS A VERY GOOD STRATEGY OF INCREASING SHELTER BEDS BY USING MOTELS AND OTHER. 
          AND SO THEY'VE DONE THAT AND THEIR PLANS IN THE FUTURE AND, BUT I HAVE A, I I CAN'T FIND ANY REPORT OR ANYTHING THAT SHOWS THIS HAPPENING THE TIME. 
          SO, AND I, WE GET INDIVIDUAL REPORTS, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER IMPLICATIONS. 
          SOMETIMES THEY GET DELAYED SO I CAN'T KEEP IT ALL IN MY HEAD. 
          UH, AND I THINK THAT DOESN'T GET TO THE COMMUNITY EITHER. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT KINDA LIKE THE AVAILABILITY OF LIKE THE SHELTER OFFERINGS AND MOTELS AND WHATNOT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE BRINGING ON SHELTERS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SHELTER BEDS WE HAVE. 
          YEAH, I DON'T, I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TELL. 
          MY NEIGHBORHOOD ASKS ME, YEAH. 
          HEY, LAST YEAR WE ADDED THIS MANY BEDS AND YEAH, WE HAD 900, WE ADDED 100 AND IN 2025 MM-HMM . 
          JUST PLANNED TO OPEN UP WORTH LONG BEACH SHELTER. 
          AND THAT'S GONNA ADD AN ADDITIONAL WHAT? YEAH. 
          AND THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS 
          [01:00:01]
ABOUT THIS OTHER PLAN 2026. 
          YEAH. 
          SEE THAT VISUALLY REPRESENTED. 
          YEAH, I LIKE THAT IDEA. 
          THE NUMBER, WHAT HAVE WE ADDED? THE CITY'S DONE SOME GREAT STUFF. 
          YEAH, LET'S GET THE WORD OUT. 
          YEAH, WE THAT WE'VE GOT PLANS WE'RE GONNA DO MORE. 
          GREAT POINT. 
          OKAY. 
          ONE MORE COMMENT AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE TO WRAP UP. 
          UM, DID, UH,  DID RECOMMENDATION OF POLICIES YES. 
          WITH, UM, SAFE AND OTHER  SHELTERS, ALL OF THE ABOVE REPURPOSING OF THE EXISTING BUILDING . 
          YEAH. 
          WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT POLICY MEMO IS INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL REPORT, INCORPORATING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          UNFORTUNATELY WE DID HAVE TWO EXTRA THEMES THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET TO IN THE INTEREST OF TIME OR BECAUSE OF TIME. 
          UM, BUT AGAIN, I AM GONNA FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ALL VIA EMAIL TO GIVE YOU A LIST OF THOSE THEMES. 
          AND IF THERE'S, IF YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DID NOT GET ACROSS OR YOU WANNA COMMUNICATE IN THESE IN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, PLEASE EMAIL ME. 
          LIKE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COORDINATE. 
          I'M GONNA GIVE YOU MY EMAIL JUST SO YOU ALL HAVE IT AS WELL. 
          BUT I WILL BE PROACTIVELY REACHING OUT TO YOU ALL, UM, EITHER THIS EVENING OR TOMORROW MORNING. 
          SO EXPECT TO HEAR FROM ME. 
          SO YOU'LL SEND AN EMAIL? YES, I WILL REGARDLESS, BUT JUST WANNA GIVE IT TO YOU JUST IN CASE. 
          UM, YOU WANT IT NOW. 
          UM, I'M GONNA BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE NEXT PHASE. 
          SO THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR COMMUNITY, OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, WE'RE REALLY GONNA BE FOCUSING IN ON QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. 
          SO ONE OF THE REALLY BIG THINGS WE WANNA GET OUT OF THIS IS ESSENTIALLY DOING A PREDICTIVE MODELING DATA. 
          DOING PREDICTIVE DATA MODELING. 
          UM, ESSENTIALLY TAKING IN THE SUPPLY OF OUR SHELTERS, UM, OF ALL OF OUR RESOURCES AND OUR SERVICES AND PROJECTING OUT WHAT THE DEMAND ON THE HOMELESS SERVICE SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE OVER HOWEVER AMOUNT OF YEARS, LIKE FIVE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
          BECAUSE WE REALLY WANNA UNDERSTAND LIKE HOW MANY SHELTER BEDS DO WE REALLY NEED TO MEET THAT EQUILIBRIUM OF MAKING SURE WE'RE AT THAT FUNCTIONAL ZERO OF, UM, HAVING, NOT HAVING AS MANY PEOPLE FALLING INTO HOMELESSNESS. 
          UM, SO THAT QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS IS COMING. 
          UM, WE'RE WORKING ON AN RFP TO TRY TO FIND, UM, SOMEBODY WHO'S REALLY SKILLED IN THAT KIND OF QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS FOR A SERVICE SYSTEM. 
          AND WE'LL BE SURE TO KEEP YOU ALL POSTED THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS AS WELL. 
          THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS, WE DID SOME ANALYSIS ON THAT AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AS YEAH. 
          AS, SO IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD BE BUILDING OFF OF THAT, BUT HOPEFULLY GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE GRANULAR. 
          I THINK SOME OF THE STUFF WE'RE HOPING TO INCORPORATE IS LIKE PROJECTING OUT, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST LIKE ASSUMING A STRAIGHT LINE RIGHT? BUT LOOKING AT OUR OVERALL TRENDS IN OTHER AREAS AND HOW THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE OUR POPULATION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, BUT YEAH, I KNOW IONIC CONSULTANT THAT HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE AND OUR EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA. 
          YEAH. 
          THE REALITY IS LIKE THAT IS NOT, YOU KNOW, NECESSARILY THE EXPERTISE AREA OF, UH, CITY FABRICS. 
          THEY'RE REALLY GREAT AT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND GATHERING VOICE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING IN SOMEBODY TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, WHO HAS MORE EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA AND IS ABLE TO GET CITY DATA, COUNTY DATA AND KIND OF PROVIDE A MORE INFORMED PICTURE BASED ON, UH, THE QUANTITATIVE DATA THAT WE DO HAVE. 
          WE COMMISSION BY, WELL WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE FUNDING OF THE SHELTERS AND THE REPORT CAME OUT, THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERFUNDING SHELTER AND I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE SAYING THAT'S TRUE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND UH, AND I'M JUST WONDERING, HAS THAT ALSO APPLIED TO LONG BEACH I UNDERFUNDING FOR  QUALITY AND SERVICES? YEAH. 
          I'LL, I'LL, I'LL ADDRESS THAT IN MY OPERATION. 
          YOU HAVE A COMMENT THERE? JUST THAT REAL QUICK. 
          PERFECT. 
          THAT MAYBE A, UH, STRATEGIC REPORT HAD ABOUT, UH, WORLD RECOMMENDATION WITH NO 12 RECOMMENDATIONS NU TARGETS DATA AND UM, I THINK IF YOU'RE GONNA GO IN THAT DIRECTION, THESE, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A WAY THAT WE ONGOING DATA COLLECTION. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND ALSO WHATEVER IT IS, IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          I FELT LIKE THE OTHER REPORT HAD THINGS THAT WERE PROPOSED, WE NEED X NUMBER OR THIS, AND I WAS THINKING, WHERE IS THAT DATA? YOU KNOW, ARE YOU GONNA HAVE TO CREATE A SPECIAL 
          [01:05:01]
REPORT? IT IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S PART OF OUR SYSTEM. 
          YEAH. 
          OR IF IT ISN'T THEN CREATE A WAY WHERE EVERY YEAR WE ARE GONNA REPEAT OUR MECHANISM TO GET THIS DATA AND WE CAN TURN. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THAT'S A VERY ASTUTE OBSERVATION. 
          I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE, THE ISSUES WITH THE EXISTING STRATEGIC PLAN IS THAT IT HAS SORT OF, YOU HAVE HIGH LEVEL BUT NEBULOUS LIKE DATA POINTS. 
          AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE COLLECTING IS SOMETHING THAT FEASIBLE TO COLLECT. 
          SO THANKS Y'ALL. 
          I APPRECIATE THE EXPERTISE. 
          I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS VERY NICHE FEEDBACK THAT IS GONNA BE REALLY BENEFICIAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY VOICE REPORT. 
          THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME YOU'RE HEARING FROM ME. 
          I'LL BE SURE TO FOLLOW UP VIA EMAIL AND THEN ALSO JUST KEEP Y'ALL POSTED WHEN THAT COMMUNITY VOICE REPORT IS RELEASED.

          WE ARE EXCITED. 
          UM, JULIE HAS, UH, JOINED THE MEETINGS AND WE'RE GONNA BE, UM, GETTING BACK ON TRACK AND WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM IS IN OUR NEXT MEETING THE MORNING TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING IN THIS PAST MEETING. 
          SO THE WHOLE THING WAS THERE WAS, OH, PEOPLE CAN ONLY APPLY ONCE, PEOPLE CAN ONLY, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS JUST SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE PULLED THE RECORDS, UM, FROM WHEN THE, UH, MAYORS FUND WAS, UM, COMMENCE, AND THEN, UM, WE WERE MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS ONE MORE MOU. 
          SO BEFORE WE COULD GO BACK AND REVIEW EVERYTHING, WE WANTED TO GET THAT MOU SO WE CAN SEE WHAT OTHER THINGS WERE LOOKING FOR. 
          AND THEREFORE, THAT'S WHY WE'RE KIND OF HALTING THE, UM, SOP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WITH, WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS FOR REAL, IF IT IS NOT IN WRITING, IT DOESN'T EXIST. 
          SO WHATEVER'S IN WRITING IS WHAT, HOW WE'RE GONNA DEFINE IT AS WHAT WE, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE, UM, PULLED VERBIAGE FROM THE APPLICATION, VERBIAGE FROM, UM, THE WEBSITE VERBIAGE FROM THE OTHER WEBSITE THAT'S ASKING FOR DONATIONS. 
          WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE GOING FORWARD THAT EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED AND EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE. 
          THERE'S NOT ONE THING SAID OVER HERE, THERE'S NOT ONE THING SAID OVER THERE. 
          WE'LL BE ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          SO THAT IS THE ONLY REPORT WE HAVE TO KIND OF ON PAUSE AND FOR OUR NEXT PAPER. 
          GREAT. 
          NEXT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WE MET NEXT MONTH ON THE MONDAY, FOLLOWING THE FIFTH MEETING AT 2:00 PM HERE. 
          UM, AND WE DISCUSSED NUMEROUS TOPICS, BUT ONE WAS FOLLOW UP LAST WEEK IS POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE MADE TO THE MAYOR AND SPEAKER COUNCIL AND PERHAPS DIFFERENT WAYS OF MAKING OUR ANNUAL RECOMMENDATIONS THIS YEAR. 
          UM, WE ALSO TALKED A LOT ABOUT PROVIDING KIND OF BASIC HYGIENE SERVICES, UM, TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, BUT HOW CAN WE INCREASE 20% ACCESS TO THE TOILET AND SHOWERS AND STORAGE? AND WE NEED OUR ATION ABOUT, UM, THE CLEAN TEETH IN RELATION. 
          SO WE ARE LOOKING ONTO OUR NEXT MEETING TO KIND OF START TALKING ABOUT OUR PRIOR POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS AND HOW THEY MAY BE UPDATED FOR THIS YEAR. 
          AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT WORK THROUGH PROBABLY OUR NEXT TWO MEETINGS. 
          AND THEN FOR THAT, UM, SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          THE OVERALL COMMITTEE FOR FEEDBACK CARE. 
          I DON'T HAVE A REPORT, ? NO, BECAUSE I DID THEY DID MEET. 
          IT WAS THE, UM, IT WAS, IT WAS THE, IT WAS THE, NOT THE PACIFIC GATEWAY. 
          NO. 
          PACIFIC GATEWAY. 
          OH, THAT'S RIGHT. 
          IT WAS THE BOARD, RIGHT? YEAH, YEAH. 
          FORMAT. 
          I DID NOT ATTEND. 
          I WASN'T NOT ABLE TO, SO ANYONE HAS, YOU KNOW,   MAJOR UPDATES. 
          THEY, WE DID, UH, HAVE TWO NEW MEMBERS THAT WERE VOTED IN. 
          [01:10:01]
UM, HOWEVER ONE DROPPED OUT DUE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. 
          SO THE THIRD MEMBER THAT HAD APPLIED WILL BE VOTED AT THE NEXT, AT THE MEETING ON THE 11TH OF THIS MONTH. 
          UM, AND THEN THE AGENDA WAS SHORT. 
          WE ONLY HAD A FEW THINGS AND THEN STAFF REPORT SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE HAD HERE. 
          UH, I'M NOT, AND THEY ARE DISCUSSED, UM, I'M SORRY. 
          THEY ARE LOOKING INTO, UM, STARTING THE COC SUBCOMMITTEES, UM, AND ALSO DISCUSSING POTENTIAL COLLABORATION OF DOING THE GENERAL COC MEETINGS WITH, UM, THE HOMELESS SCHOOL. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S A CONTINUING TOPIC FOR THIS NEXT MEETING. 
          ARE THE MEMBERS STUDENT , UH, ON THE AGENDA? ON THE AGENDA HEADER, BUT NOT LIKE DO YOU MEAN LIKE ON THE HOMELESS SERVICES WEBSITE OR YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE THERE'S THAT ONE WEBSITE AND US AND THE PARENTS FUND? NO, MEMBERS ARE NOT LOCATED THERE, BUT THEY ARE LOCATED ON LIKE ANY AGENDA. 
          SO EXACTLY HOW OUR AGENDA HAS OUR MEMBERS' NAMES. 
          IT WOULD BE THE SAME FOR THERE. 
          SO JUST NOT JUST BOARD MEMBERS, BUT THE WHOLE COC WELL, THE COC BOARD IS ONE MEMBERSHIP, RIGHT? AND THEN WE HAVE THE COC GENERAL MEMBERSHIP THAT IS NOT LISTED ANYWHERE, BUT IT IS MASSIVE AMOUNT. 
          I MEAN THE COC IS NOT A C COMMISSION, IT IS ITS OWN ENTITY AND BODY THAT EXISTS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. 
          THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THE COC BOARD HAS ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, SAY WE'RE NOT GONNA CONTRACT BASED UPON THE CO C'S RECOMMENDATION BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT DOESN'T, IT EXISTS AS A SEPARATE BODY OUTSIDE PROVIDE THE SUPPORT UP. 
          I CAN SEND OUT, THERE'S A GOOGLE DRIVE LINK TO WHERE WE PUT THE RECORDINGS AND UH, MEETING NOTES. 
          SO THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP, OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          YES. 
          UM, WE CAN, WELL WE CAN GIVE WE HAVE IT LISTED DOESN'T EXIST. 
          YEAH, NO, IT EXISTS. 
          IT'S, IT'S A LIST GENERAL, IT'S OUR CONTACT LIST. 
          IT'S OUR GENERAL MEMBERSHIP LIST. 
          BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN IS THAT THAT LIST IS PRETTY MASSIVE. 
          IT'S, I THINK PEOPLE HERE ARE PART OF THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP. 
          DO YOU CHOOSE TO ATTEND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AT THESE MEETINGS? DOES IT MEAN THAT EVERYONE ATTENDS? UM, CAN I HAVE RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE UPDATES FROM THE MAYOR'S FUND AND POLICIES THAT CAN MAKE REPORTS AND CONSUMER CARE THEIR SECOND? ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA? ITEM? NONE. 
          FAVOR? RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          THE UPDATES FROM THE NEAREST TIME AND COMMITTEE AND, UM, SAY FOR THE  ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          UM, DO I HAVE A MOTION COMMITTEE? LET'S SEE. 
          KIM, SARAH, YEAH,  LAST MONTH WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, THE IDEA OF POSSIBLY USING THE TIME OF THE MEETING TO ENCOURAGE BROADER MEMBERSHIP IN COMMITTEE. 
          UM, BECAUSE I HAD, UM,  WITH PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MEMBER OF PAYCHECK THAT COULD, COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF THEIR WORK SCHEDULE. 
          AND I KNOW STEVEN HAS SOME, UH, BARRIERS COMING AT THIS TIME ALSO. 
          AND SOMETIMES LAURA IS ALSO AND SARAH. 
          SO, UM, I PUT IT ON THE TABLE IF WE WANTED TO CONSIDER MOVING THE TIME OF 
          [01:15:01]
THE MEETING. 
          UM, NOT, NOT THE DAY. 
          EVERYBODY WAS FINE THE FIRST WEDNESDAY I ABOUT THAT, BUT, UM, AND WE STARTED HAVING GOOD SESSIONS LAST MONTH AND THEN WE WERE GONNA THINK ABOUT IT. 
          AND SO THE TOPIC IS UPON AT END. 
          UM, SARAH, I THINK IN TERMS OF EQUITY AND PARTICIPATION, I THINK WE WANT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WORKDAY JOBS TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING. 
          UM, I THINK IF PEOPLE WORK, YOU KNOW, JOBS THAT ARE STANDARD NINE TO FIVE, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS COMMITTEE IF THEY'RE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PEOPLE TO BE ON THE . 
          UM, SO I DON'T THINK FUN TO HAVE MEETINGS, BUT I THINK, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD MAYBE ON TRIAL BASIS TO EXPERIMENT WITH MAYBE EIGHT, YOU KNOW, A FIVE 30 TO SEVEN 30 MEETING SO THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN TYPICALLY ATTEND OR PEOPLE WHO ADD UP THAT GO UNTIL YOU KNOW, ABOUT 5:00 PM COULD PARTICIPATE. 
          FIVE MINUTES. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? UM, I A HALF HOUR, THERE'S NOTHING DO THEN EVERYBODY HERE THAT START GETS OFF WORK. 
          THREE OR FOUR. 
          I KNOW. 
          SEVEN OR SO. 
          I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT AS LONG, I WOULD JUST PROPOSE THAT IT CAN, THAT IT SHOULD NOT GO PAST SEVEN IF THAT'S TOO LATE. 
          WAIT, SO I MEAN, WHEN I GET HEATED NORMAL, LIKE THE NORMAL JUST, OKAY. 
          SORRY. 
          ALSO JUST A THOUGHT, UM, IN DOING THAT WE, WE COULD POSSIBLY RUN INTO WHEN WE HAVE PRESENTERS NOT BEING ABLE TO COME SO LATE. 
          UM, SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          WHAT TIME, WHAT'S THE END POINT OF THE THAT WOULD DEPEND ON WHO WE'RE ASKING TO PRESENT. 
          THAT WOULD DEPEND ON WHO WE'RE ASKING TO COME PRESENT. 
          IF IT'S NOT CITY, CITY, NOT REALLY. 
          CITY EMPLOYEES ARE OUT BY FIVE OR FIVE 30 AND SO I DON'T THINK WE COULD EXPECT CITY STAFF TO STAY FAST. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN I, YES. 
          ONE MORE THING BECAUSE WE ARE WHAT'S THREE 30 TO SIX, RIGHT? SO TWO AND A HALF ABOUT, SO I'M, WE END EARLY. 
          WELL, I'M GONNA PROPOSE THAT WE ALSO WILL KEEP THIS TO TWO HOURS, NOT TWO AND A HALF EVEN IF WHAT THEY COMMISSION FOR THE COUNTY TWO HOURS AND ONE OTHER WAY WE COULD DO THAT. 
          IT, IT SEEMS LIKE I COULD, I THINK FROM YOU GUYS, UM, THAT YOU ENJOY HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DISCUSSIONS ON THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, WHAT WE COULD DO IS WE CAN, WE, WE CAN, WHEN WE HAVE LONG AGENDA IN THAT STAFF, UM, TO GO AHEAD AND, AND SUBMIT THEIR REPORTS IN WRITING AND THEN WE CAN HAVE QUESTIONS BUT NOT HAVE THE, THE PRESENTATION WE SPEAK TO, RIGHT? SO I, I THINK TWO HOURS IS A REASONABLE GOAL THAT WE SHOULD ACHIEVE LIMITING THE, UH, THE AMOUNT TIME SECTION THAT NORMALLY THOSE TO, AND DON'T FORGET THAT WE NEED TIME TO DISCUSS THINGS. 
          SO MAYBE BREAKING IT UP INTO SECTIONS. 
          IF YOU GET THIS MUCH TIME, YOU GET THIS MUCH TIME, SUBMIT YOUR PRESENTATIONS IN ADVANCE SO WE CAN REVIEW IT SO WE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. 
          AND THEN YOU JUST EXPLAIN WHAT YOU PUT OUT IN GENERAL TERMS ALREADY, ALREADY HAVE, ALREADY READ THE, THE REPORT AND WE COULD PREPARE IN ADVANCE AND THEN WE COULD SPEED IT ALONG A LITTLE BIT AS JUST LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WHICH PERSON GETS. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SUGGESTING THAT WE DO AT THE REGULAR ALL COMMISSION RUN THAT WAY AND WE NEVER GO OVER OUR, IT'S ALL, THEY'RE ALL SURPRIS. 
          WHEN I SAT ON HERE, IT WAS SO , OKAY, IT IS TIME. 
          AND IF WE ALL OVER, WE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE THINK THE REST 
          [01:20:01]
OF IT NEXT TIME AND WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY, UM, TO MOVE THINGS AROUND ON THE AGENDA AS APPROPRIATE. 
          SO, UM, IN, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF PRIORITY, UM, SO YEAH, THAT POINT SHOOT FOR TWO HOURS HAS, THAT'S, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS MOVED MORE ON THE, THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES NEXT. 
          YEAH, I HAVE NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. 
          THAT'S NOT YOU. 
          SO I HAVE NOT BEEN, I COULD BE BUTTING IN SAYING, WAIT A MINUTE BECAUSE I'M, I KNOW I'LL GET, GET INTO THE MEETING. 
          WE'RE GONNA REDUCE THE TIME I THINK WE HAVE TO GO TO, AND THEN YOU CAN KEEP A LIST AND YOU RAISE YOUR HAND IF WHOEVER YOU GET THE CHAIR'S ATTENTION. 
          OKAY, NEXT. 
          AND NUMBER THREE. 
          AND YOU, WE WAIT TILL THE PEOPLE ARE FIRST. 
          GO FIRST. 
          YEAH. 
          SO I THINK IT IT, THANK YOU DOUG. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALIZE COMMENTS OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU ALL, UM, WAIT TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE CHAIR. 
          UM, AND I, THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS THE TIME BY THE SEE EXTENT. 
          AND IF WE POINT OUT THAT'S NOT, NOT, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE MORE FAIR. 
          WE WANT, WE WANT EVERYBODY  ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? SO, OKAY, SO WHAT, WHAT TIME DID WE WAIT, I THINK THAT I NEED A MOTION MEETING. 
          4 30, 6 30 PM IS THERE A SECOND? UM, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? NONE. 
          SO THE MOTION ON THE TABLE TO APPROVE, UH, ADJUSTMENT OF THE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR THE WHOLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO TAKE PLACE ON FIRST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH AT FOUR 30, COMING AT SIX 30. 
          UM, ALL  STAFF OPERATION AND, ALRIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. 
          SO, UH, IT'S BEEN A QUARTER, SO IT IS THAT, UH, THAT MEETING WHERE WE'RE GONNA GO OVER SOME DATA. 
          SO I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO , UH, AS WE GO OVER SOME DATA FOR THE LAST HI EVERYBODY, ME AGAIN. 
          UM, UM, ORDER STUFF. 
          SO, UM, UH, THIS IS THE FORMAT THAT GO AHEAD AND GO AHEAD AND GIVE FEEDBACK IN TERMS OF LIKE WHAT FORMAT YOU'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO SEE THIS IN. 
          BUT, UM, I DO HAVE, UM, A COUPLE ADDITIONS THAT WE'VE, UH, DONE FROM LAST TIME. 
          SO HERE YOU'LL SEE THE MONTH OVER MONTH, UH, BREAKDOWN OF SERVICES, UM, FOR BOTH THE MULTIER FOR MULTI-SERVICE CENTER, THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER, AS WELL AS OUTREACH. 
          AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS KIND OF A GENERAL TREND UPWARD. 
          THIS IS UNSURPRISING, THIS IS SEASONAL. 
          UM, SERVICES, AS MORE PEOPLE BECOME SETTLED, UM, IN LIKE SHELTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LITTLE BIT LESS TURNOVER, BUT YOU'RE GONNA SEE MORE PEOPLE ACCESSING SERVICES. 
          SO WHAT THIS TREND FROM OCTOBER, NOVEMBER TO DECEMBER DOES KIND OF, UM, MATCH SOME SEASONAL TRENDS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND THAT DOES MATCH NATIONAL TRENDS AS WELL. 
          UM, YOU'LL SEE THE SAME THING FOR THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER. 
          I WILL SAY THAT THERE IS A, LIKE, THERE'S JUST MORE HERE. 
          THIS IS A, A LARGER JUMP THAN WE WOULD'VE ANTICIPATED, UM, FROM THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER, JUST FROM LIKE SEASONAL TRENDS. 
          UM, THIS DOES JUST TEND TO DEMONSTRATE A LARGER ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER. 
          I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT WE'RE PLACING THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER IN BETTER SPOTS WHERE WE'RE GETTING BETTER DATA AND WE'RE PUTTING THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER IN SPOTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACCESSING IT. 
          WE'RE HAVING GREATER SUCCESS. 
          AND SO I THINK THAT'S TRANSLATED HERE IN THE  THE LARGER SERVICES THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE. 
          SO THIS GETS BACK TO A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED LAST TIME, WHICH IS, IS THIS USEFUL? AND I THINK THIS INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO USE BASED ON LIKE A, UM, GETTING BACK TO LIKE DESTINATION AND WHERE THIS IS BEING PLACED. 
          WE NOW HAVE THAT KIND OF CAPABILITY. 
          SO WE'RE PUTTING IT IN SPOTS THAT MAKE IT MORE SUCCESSFUL AT DELIVERING SERVICES TO PEOPLE WHO NEED YEAH. 
          HOW HOUSING. 
          SO IN THE REPORT LATER, THERE'S GONNA 
          [01:25:01]
BE INFORMATION ABOUT WAIT AND WAIT LIST FOR HOUSING MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          WOULD YOU CONSIDER AN ACTIVITY MONITORING ELIZABETH TRACKING? YOU KNOW, NO. 
          SO THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT, THAT WOULDN'T BE LOGGED AS A SERVICE. 
          SERVICES ARE ALL ARE GOING TO, IN OUR SYSTEM, SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE ATTACHED TO A CLIENT, TO AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE SYSTEM. 
          AND SO IF, FOR EXAMPLE, I DO LOOK AT THE WAIT LIST, I LOOK AT OUR QUEUES, BUT MY WORK IS NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO A SPECIFIC CLIENT. 
          IT'S MY WORK WOULD BE DONE FOR THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. 
          SO I CAN'T, I CAN'T WRITE LIKE A SERVICE IN THE SYSTEM JUST BECAUSE I LOOKED AT THE, THE COMMUNITY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          ANOTHER , HOW DOES SOMEONE GET ON ? DID THEY COME IN AND ASK FOR SOMETHING AND THEN THEY CAN PUT ON THE WHITE LIST? SURE. 
          SO, UM, GEN LIKE, WE'LL I'LL USE THE EXAMPLE OF OUTREACH. 
          SAY WE'RE, WE'RE SENDING A TEAM OUT IN, ONTO THE, INTO THE FIELD AND THEY ENGAGE WITH INDIVIDUALS OUT ON THE STREET, THEY ASK 'EM QUESTIONS. 
          UM, IF THAT INDIVIDUAL, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ENGAGEMENT OF SEVERAL QUESTIONS BACK AND FORTH. 
          IF THAT INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSES INTEREST IN EITHER SHELTER OR HOUSING, WE CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT. 
          UM, WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS THAT'S GONNA PLACE AT THE END OF IT. 
          THERE'S GONNA BE A RECOMMENDATION BY THE CASE MANAGER OR THE OUTREACH PURPOSE PLACE THAT INDIVIDUAL ON QUEUE IF THEY DEMONSTRATE THE INTEREST THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHELTER FOR HOUSING, BUT THAT ONLY FOLLOWS AFTER AN ASSESSMENT WHERE WE ASK 'EM SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THEMSELVES. 
          I DON'T DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? YOU, YOU DID. 
          THIS IS HOW MANY THINGS THAT WERE REQUESTED, RIGHT? DO YOU COMPARE WHEN THEY WERE REQUESTED VERSUS WHEN THEY WERE DELIVERED? THE SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE LOGGED WHEN THEY'RE ADMINISTERED. 
          SO IN THIS CASE, LIKE A CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICE, IT IS, IT WILL BE LOGGED IN THE SYSTEM WHEN THE CASE MANAGER IS CONDUCTING THE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICE. 
          SO THIS, THIS ISN'T LIKE A, A REQUEST FOR CASE MANAGEMENT, IT'S LOGGED AND THEN IT FINALLY GETS, UM, LIKE MANIFESTED LATER ON THIS, THESE ARE LOGGED WHEN THE ACTUAL SERVICE ARE RENDER. 
          DEFINE CASE MANAGEMENT IN THE SENSE YOU'VE GOT IT. 
          IS THAT THE ONE THAT SOMEBODY WALKS IN AND SAYS, I WANT CASE MANAGEMENT BECAUSE CASE MANAGEMENT DESCRIBE COVERS ALL THE GUIDANCE. 
          . 
          THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          CASE MANAGEMENT IS KIND OF A, A, A BIG TERM HERE AND, AND YES, IT DOES ENCOMPASS LOT OF THINGS. 
          IN ESSENCE IS WHEN A CASE MANAGER OR AN OUTREACH WORKER IS DISCUSSING A CLIENT'S PROCESS THROUGH THE SYSTEM. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY ARE PLACED ON THE QUEUE AND THE CLIENT HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE AM I ON THE QUEUE? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET SHELTER? AND THE CASE MANAGER WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY'LL, HERE YOU ARE ON THE QUEUE, THIS IS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. 
          UM, WE STILL NEED TO GATHER DOCUMENTS FOR YOU. 
          SO YADI LIKE IT'S, IT'S A GENERAL CONVERSATION THAT CAN GO IN MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND THAT CAN GET LOGGED AS CASE MANAGEMENT AS A SINGLE SERVICE BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO KIND OF SEGMENT EACH ONE OF THOSE PIECES OF CONVERSATION INTO THOSE DIFFERENT S THAT PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN PUT ON WAIT LIST FOR CASE MANAGEMENT OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED CASE MANAGEMENT. 
          THERE IS NO LIKE WAIT LIST FOR, I MEAN THERE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO SIGN UP AND THEY SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH MY CASE MANAGER AND THAT WILL GET BOUGHT AS CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. 
          ALSO, SOME OF THESE ARE AD HOC, UM, AGAIN, LIKE STREET OUTREACH MAY GO UP TO A CLIENT ON THE STREET AND PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE, THERE WAS NO LIST OR QUEUE FOR THAT SERVICE. 
          YEAH, IT, UH, THEY, EVERY TIME THEY MEET WITH INDIVIDUAL MENT, THAT PERSON'S CASE MANAGER, THEY'RE COMPANY TALKING. 
          IT'S NOT WELL, UM, I, SO OUR INSTRUCTIONS ARE THAT IF YOU'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH AN AN INDI LIKE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL ABOUT THEIR STATUS IN ANY RESPECT, LIKE THE DOCUMENT STATUS AND WHERE THEY ARE ON THE QUEUE, MORE OR LESS, THAT SHOULD, WE'RE TELLING THEM THAT WE SHOULD BE LOGGING THAT AS A CASE MANAGEMENT SURVEY. 
          THIS IS AN ENGAGEMENT THAT'S ANOTHER SERVICE. 
          THAT'S THE IS IS JUST WHEN YOU TELL THEM WHERE TO GET THE FOOD, RIGHT? YEAH, WE, WE, WE, WE ACTUALLY PROVIDE, WE PROVIDE FOOD IN IN SOME CASES, YES. 
          NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN. 
          UM, SO FROM THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER, UH, I'LL, I'LL USE THE MULTI SERVICE CENTER AS AN EXAMPLE. 
          I, PAUL YOU COULD, YEAH, I MEAN WE HAVE SNACKS THAT WE HAND OUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT FULL MEAL. 
          WELL, WE HAVE SNACKS, , UM, SO OUTREACH AND THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER HAVE SNACKS. 
          WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, MEALS AT THE MSE, UH, YOU KNOW, IT IS 
          [01:30:01]
TYPICALLY FOOD THAT, YOU KNOW, WASN'T UTILIZED BY THE SHELTER, BUT IT'S NOT EXPIRED. 
          UH, SO WE DO GET A LOT OF PREPACKAGED MEALS. 
          WE ALSO DO GET, UM, SOMETIMES FOOD BROUGHT OVER FROM THE LONG BEACH RESCUE MISSION AS WELL AS WE'LL SOMETIMES SUPPORT TRANSPORTATION OVER TO THE LONG BEACH RESCUE MISSION. 
          AND THEN IT DOES ALSO INCLUDE GIVING PEOPLE LIKE WIDER, UH, INFORMATION ON FOOD BANKS, HOT MEALS THAT EXIST WITHIN THE CITY. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR, IT IT, IT'S A COMBINATION OF BOTH. 
          SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S QUESTIONS ON WHAT IS ON WHAT, WHAT SNACKS ARE PROVIDED. 
          AND I KIND OF WONDER IF MAYBE THAT BE, UH, SURE. 
          LIKE IN TERMS OF WHAT, WHAT FOOD IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE MOBILE SYSTEM MOBILE ACCESS. 
          YEAH. 
          I MEAN IT'S MOSTLY THINGS LIKE CHIPS, GRANOLA BARS, EASY TO GRAB AND GO THINGS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT'S SO I MEAN WHAT, WHAT YOU'RE POINTING OUT IS A, A DIFFERENCE OR, OR I SHOULD SAY A DISTINCTION HERE THAT IS ISN'T NECESSARILY DISTINCT IN THE SYSTEM. 
          FOOD THAT'S DELIVERED AT THE MSC IS NOT THE SAME AS FOOD THAT'S DELIVERED BY THE MOBILE ACTIVE CENTER. 
          IT'S LOGGED WITH THE SAME THING. 
          AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT GETS AT OH, IT'S AN ACTIVE, YEAH, YEAH. 
          IT'S A SERVICE THAT'S LOGGED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT MAY NOT BE AT THE SAME LIKE, UM, WHAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR? GRAVITY. 
          RIGHT? LIKE IT IS NOT THE SAME LEVEL, BUT IT IS A SERVICE THAT'S LOGGED IN THE SAME YEAH. 
          SO MM-HMM . 
          THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT. 
          SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE, IN JANUARY, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THIS NUMBER JUMPED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE OF OUR INCLEMENT WEATHER SHELTER. 
          SO THIS, THIS, THIS HOUSING LINE IS LITERALLY FOR ARE WE SHELTERING PEOPLE? AND SO IT IS EXPECTED THAT FOR OUTREACH AND FOR THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER, THAT THESE NUMBERS WILL STAY AT ZERO. 
          AND THIS IS, SO THIS IS A POINT FOR ME THAT IF I SEE ANY NUMBERS FOR OUTREACH OR FOR THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER THAT ARE NOT ZERO, THAT'S SOMEBODY NAMED NARROW. 
          UM, AND SO I, I LOOK AT THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T DOING THAT INCORRECTLY. 
          UM, AS FOR THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER WE'RE GOING, IT ONLY SHOULD SHOW UP WHEN WE'RE ACTIVATING THE INCLEMENT WEATHER SHELTER. 
          SO AGAIN, THIS IS A DATA QUALITY CHECK FOR ME IN MANY WAYS THAT IT SHOULDN'T LOOK, IT SHOULD LOOK ZERO WHEN WE HAVE NOT OPERATED WEATHER SHELTER. 
          YOU CAN REPHRASE IT AS SHALL YEAH. 
          HOUSING IT THIS ALL. 
          YES. 
          SO THAT, IT LITERALLY SHOULD BE, ARE WE SHELTERING PEOPLE, THESE NUMBERS DO NOT REFLECT THEIR SERVICES? THAT WOULD, I MEAN HONESTLY, THAT COULD HONESTLY BE LIKE A BANDAID OR YEAH. 
          LIKE, OR YEAH. 
          SO FIRST DAYS YEAH. 
          YOU'LL, SO OUTREACH YOU'LL SEE IS, IS SIGNIFICANT LIKE FOR FIRST AID YEAH. 
          OUTREACH HAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER, YES. 
          WE HAVE A NURSE WITH OUTREACH. 
          YEAH. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT QUESTION? HAVE THEY PUT ANYONE IN THE HOSPITAL YET TO GATHER THE, IF THE DATA FROM PEOPLE BRINGING FREQUENT EMERGENCY ROOMS? SO THAT WOULD PROBABLY GO UNDER, UM, HEALTHCARE, LIKE ARE WE ING THEM AS FAR AS  NO. 
          ABOUT SERVICES THAT STAFF. 
          SO YOU GET A SENSE OF WHAT FOLKS DOING. 
          YEAH. 
          THIS IS IN ESSENCE LIKE THE CITY, CORRECT. 
          AND WHAT'S BEING DEMANDED OF US AND WHAT ARE WE SUPPLYING? WELL, I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS, IF THE MOBILE MAN IS THERE AND SOMEONE IS SICK, HOW ARE THEY REPORTING THAT? ARE THEY SENDING THEM TO ST. 
          MARY'S MOST SUPPLYING IN THAT AREA? UM, AS FAR AS MENTAL HEALTH TOO, LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THEM IF THEY HAVE AN ABCESS ON THEIR FOOT WHEN THEY'RE ENGAGED? THAT'S MY QUESTION. 
          YES. 
          SO I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY WE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO CALL FOR PARAMEDICS FAR MORE THAN YOU WOULD LIKE. 
          UH, HOW THAT'S BEING CAPTURED IS PROBABLY NOT REFLECTING REAL WELL IN HERE. 
          SO WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AND KIND OF SEE HOW WE'RE CAPTURING THAT TO MAKE MAYBE THAT A LITTLE MORE CLEAR. 
          SO MAYBE A, A SEPARATE CATEGORY CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE'VE IMPLEMENTED A NEW SYSTEM OF LIKE INCIDENT REPORTING, WHICH IS CAPTURING THOSE SPECIFIC, LIKE WHEN WE CALL THE PARAMEDICS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          UM, IT IS, I DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE LOGGED IN HMIS, BUT THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT IT'S SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN WE PUT THAT IN THERE. 
          I THINK IT'S MORE OF THAT WE, WE HAD A CONCERN ON IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO, TO INTERNALLY DISCUSS WHAT'S GOING ON AND, AND TAKING A LOOK AT THOSE 
          [01:35:01]
SEPARATELY. 
          UM, BUT I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT AND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REACH BACK OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT. 
           SERVICES, UM, OH, SORRY, GO ON. 
          SO THAT COULD BE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT RELATED MATTERS, SPEAKING TO SOMEBODY ABOUT A CITATION THEY GOT AND REFERRING THEM TO HOMELESS COURT OR TO ONE OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTED DIVERSION PROGRAMS. UM, DO WE HAVE A NOTARY AT THE, WE HAVE NOTARIES AS WELL. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT KIND OF FALL THE LEGAL SERVICES. 
          OH, I HAVE A LIST OF LIKE WHAT, SO I HAVE A LIST OF WHAT'S CONSIDERED OTHER. 
          YOU'LL SEE THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER HAS SHOWERS, BUT LIKE OTHERS LIKE MALE, MALE, MALE SERVICES AS WELL, UM, CAN BE CONSIDERED UNDER OTHER CATEGORIES. 
          AND SO YOU SEE, YOU SEE A BIG DROP OFF FOR THE OTHERS. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, SO MALE SERVICE I THINK IS THE LARGEST PROPORTION OF OTHER I, LAST, LAST TIME AROUND I, I HAD LIKE A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT EACH ONE OF THESE CATEGORIES CONSISTED OF. 
          UM, BUT YEAH. 
          AND THEN HERE WE HAVE THE NUMBER OF SHOWERS AT THE . 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          MALE AND SHOWERS BEING THE, THE PREDOMINANT THINGS HERE AT THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, IT'S A SHAME THAT PAM ISN'T HERE BECAUSE THIS IS LITERALLY JUST SOMETHING THAT SHE ASKED FOR LAST TIME. 
          UM, SHE WANTED TO KNOW, SO BASED ON THESE NUMBERS HERE, UM, PAM HAD ASKED FOR A KIND OF A CORRELATION MATRIX TO SEE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACCESSING CASE MANAGEMENT OR ANY OTHER SERVICE, ARE THEY, I DON'T WANNA SAY DOUBLE DIBBING, BUT LIKE, ARE THEY GETTING SERVICES IN OTHER CATEGORIES AS WELL? AND SO HERE WAS, UM, HERE'S THE CORRELATION MATRIX. 
          MAYBE I SHOULD, I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO GO UP THERE AND POINT TO THINGS, BUT, UM, CORRELATION COEFFICIENT, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S, IT'S SUPER INTUITIVE HERE, BUT BASICALLY THE LARGER THE NUMBER, THE HIGHER THAT THESE CATEGORIES CORRELATED, UM, AND ALL OF THE ONES GOING ACROSS THE DIAGONAL ARE, ARE ONES BECAUSE CASE MANAGEMENT'S GONNA CORRELATE WITH CASE MANAGEMENT AT A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          UM, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, VARYING CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS. 
          OH, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THE EASIEST WAY TO LOOK AT THIS IS PROBABLY GOING UP AND DOWN. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT THE CATEGORIES GOING VERTICALLY, YOU'LL SEE THAT FOOD HAS THE HIGHEST CORRELATION WITH OTHER CATEGORIES. 
          MEANING INDIVIDUALS THAT RECEIVE A FOOD SERVICE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE GETTING SERVICES IN OTHER CATEGORIES BY LIKE, VERSUS SAY LIKE MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH DOES SEEM TO BE, IF PEOPLE ARE GETTING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY GETTING SERVICES IN OTHER CATEGORIES AS YOU CAN SEE FROM SOME OF THE NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS THERE. 
          UM, TRANSPORTATION DOES SEEM HIGH. 
          WHAT IT, THERE, IT IS HARD TO DISTINGUISH WHETHER THERE'S A, A, A STRONG TREND HERE. 
          BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS, IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE SERVICES THAT ARE RENDERED BY OUTREACH OR BY THE MOBILE ACCESS CENTER, YOU'LL, YOU WILL NOTICE TRENDS HERE, RIGHT? FOR EXAMPLE, TRANSPORTATION IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FOR OUTREACH THAN IT WOULD BE FOR THE OTHER PROGRAMS. AND THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WHEN THEY'RE OUT IN THE FIELD, THEY'RE TRANSPORTING PEOPLE. 
          AND SO WHAT CORRELATES HERE SPECIFICALLY WITHIN PROGRAMS IS GOING TO CORRELATE HERE. 
          SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT WHATEVER OUTREACH HAS UP HIGH FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION ARE OUTLIERS TO THE OUTCOMES PROGRAM. 
          THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GONNA SEE FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION CORRELATE HIGHLY WITH ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE IT CORRELATES FOR OUTREACH. 
          AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT FOR THE OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL WHERE THE MAC HAS STRONG CORRELATIONS. 
          YOU'RE GONNA NOTICE THAT IN THIS TABLE HERE. 
          SO IT'S, THIS IS, UH, PROBABLY MORE INDICATIVE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE PROGRAM LEVEL THAN IT IS AT THIS HIGHER LEVEL. 
          SO PERHAPS FOR NEXT TIME WITH IF AND WHEN PAM, UM, DOES GET HERE AND, AND MAYBE I'LL WOW HER BY, UM, BREAKING THIS UP INTO THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND PERHAPS WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT BETTER TRENDS WHEN WE BREAK THIS CORRELATION TABLE OUT BY THE PROGRAMS THEMSELVES. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS JUST RIGHT NOW, IT MIGHT STRAIN YOUR EYES JUST SLIGHTLY. 
          UM, BUT, BUT YEAH, THE COLORS, IT'S FAR MORE INDICATIVE. 
          UM, BUT I, THAT'S, THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON IN TERMS OF WHAT ARE PEOPLE ACCESSING ACROSS THESE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND SHOULD WE BE PAIRING THOSE SERVICES TOGETHER OR, YOU KNOW, DOES THIS, UH, DOES THIS LOOK DIFFERENT OVER TIME FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER? THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXERCISE TO, TO GO THROUGH. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF PIECING THIS TOGETHER, I'D LIKE TO DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPER, BUT I, I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS AS WELL. 
          MY THOUGHT WOULD BE PROBABLY  MM-HMM . 
          LINK FOR, WERE THERE ANY SURPRISE? MAYBE WE SHOULD, AND OF COURSE TOO. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING MAYBE  PEOPLE SEE IF THEY HAVE ? YEAH, I WOULD SAY THE, THE SURPRISE 
          [01:40:01]
FOR ME WAS PROBABLY MENTAL HEALTH IN THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ACCESS THAT APPEARED TO BE ONLY ACCESSING MENTAL HEALTH AND NOT SOMETHING ELSE IN ADDITION TO IT. 
          SO THIS, AND, AND ONE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE MENTAL HEALTH DOES TEND TO BE MORE, UM, UH, IT'S LESS AD HOC. 
          YOU, YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE TO LIKE RESERVE, LIKE, HEY, I'D LIKE A SESSION WITH MY, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH MY CASE MANAGER OR WITH SOMEBODY WHO CAN HELP ME OUT. 
          AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT RESERVATION SYSTEMS, UM, I WOULD'VE ANTICIPATED THAT THEY, THEY, YOU KNOW, WELL, I'M GONNA BE THERE, LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE WHILE I'M THERE. 
          AND THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING. 
          SO WHAT'S, WHAT IS THAT, UM, MECHANISM BEHIND THAT? UM, IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE THAT, THAT, THAT'S LIKE A TELE LIKE THAT WE DO PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH, LIKE OVER THE TELEPHONE. 
          AND SO PERHAPS THAT'S ONE REASON WHY THAT THAT'S HAPPENING AS WELL. 
          BUT YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT IN TERMS OF SURPRISES, UM, I'M NOT PARTICULARLY SURPRISED BY THIS CORRELATION . 
          UM, BUT IT IS, IT IS PRETTY COOL TO, I I WOULD THINK THAT ONCE I DISAGGREGATE THIS, UM, I'D FIND SOME PRETTY NEAT LIKE QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THIS IS A SLIDE FROM LAST TIME, BUT IN ESSENCE, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN LOAN ALPHA. 
          UM, THESE ARE THE NEW ENROLLMENTS. 
          THIS IS DOWN, UM, FROM THE PREVIOUS QUARTER. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT'S EXPECTED. 
          UM, PEOPLE ARE, WE'RE GONNA GET LESS INFO AND OUTFLOW DURING THESE MONTHS BECAUSE IT'S COLD. 
          PEOPLE ARE SETTLING IN. 
          UM, AND SO THEY'RE NOT MOVING AROUND AS MUCH. 
          THEY'RE NOT GETTING AS MANY IN AND OUT. 
          UM, NO, THESE ARE ENROLLMENTS, THESE ARE NEW ENROLLMENTS. 
          OH, IT CAN BE SOMEBODY THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN THREE MONTHS THAT'S COMING BACK TO THE . 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          PEOPLE DO TIME OUT OF THE SYSTEM IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN, UM, AROUND OR CHECKING IN FOR SOME TIME. 
          AND SO THIS COULD, THIS, THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY 3,786 NEW PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, BUT THESE ARE ENROLLMENTS THAT ARE, THAT, YOU KNOW, THEIR PRIOR ENROLLMENT HAS EXPIRED. 
          LIKE, AND ONE PERSON COULD BE ENROLLED IN ALL OF THEM. 
          THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          THAT IS GOOD. 
          SO ONE PERSON UNDUPLICATED. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THIS IS NOT UNDUPLICATED, MEANING I WOULDN'T, I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO ATTACH. 
          LIKE DID, WOULD I, I WOULDN'T KNOW IF THE MULTI-SERVICE CENTER SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENT OVER THE OTHER TWO SO PEOPLE COULD BE LIKE, TRIP ENROLLED IN THIS NOT FOR THE FUTURE. 
          WE CAN PROVIDE AN UNDUPLICATED ACROSS THE BRIEF, UM, TOTAL, BUT THESE ARE ENROLLMENTS BY PROGRAM. 
          THIS IS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENTERING OUR QUEUE. 
          SO THE QUESTION ABOUT PEOPLE SEEKING SHELTER IN PERMANENT HOUSING, SO THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT WERE REFERRED TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH 483. 
          SO 483 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE QUEUE FOR PERMANENT HOUSING DURING THIS QUARTER. 
          UM, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY ON THE QUEUE ARE OVER A THOUSAND. 
          UM, AND SO THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT WERE REFERRED, UM, FROM THE COMMUNITY QUEUE, UM, TO A PROGRAM JUST UNDER A HUNDRED. 
          UH, AND THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT HAD TO BE RE UH, I SHOULD SAY WHEN, WHEN WE SAY REMOVED, THEY COULD BE REMOVED FOR SEVERAL REASONS. 
          UM, EITHER THEY WERE, UM, UNFIT FOR THE QUEUE, LIKE THEY, THEY ASKED TO BE TAKEN OFF, OR PERHAPS THEY DID GET MOVED TO A PROGRAM THAT'S NOT IN OUR SYSTEM, AND THEREFORE WE HAD TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE QUEUE. 
          SO IT'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT LIKE LITERALLY GOT ATTACHED OR ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM SHELTER. 
          YOU'LL SEE THE NUMBERS BELOW. 
          SO AGAIN, 700 OF JUST OVER 700 PEOPLE WERE REFERRED TO THE QUEUE, EXPRESSED INTEREST IN SHELTER. 
          UM, WE CURRENTLY HAVE, UM, THE LIST THAT'S STANDING AT, UH, ABOUT 1,157 A HUNDRED CLIENTS REFERRED FROM THE QUEUE. 
          AND THEN 34. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THIS IS ONE SNAPSHOT AND THE RATIO OF THE CLIENTS ON THE QUEUE HAVE BEEN REMOVED ABOUT 30 TO FOUR. 
          OKAY, SO REMOVED IS FAIR? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          IT, SO IS THIS A REFLECTION OF QUARTER AFTER QUARTER AFTER QUARTER AND WE CAN JUST SAY, OH, THIS IS THE WAY IT IS? OR IS THERE ANY TRENDING YOU VALUE TO SEE? I'LL BE HONEST, THAT'S KIND OF HARD TO SAY THESE NUMBERS. 
          I CAN ONLY GO BACK AS FAR AS MARCH. 
          AND SO I, LIKE I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THESE NUMBERS HAVE LOOKED LIKE SINCE MARCH AT THAT POINT IN MARCH, MARCH 14TH, EXACTLY MY DAY. 
          UM, THAT'S WHEN WE PUT THE, THE COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM INTO HMIS. 
          WE WERE STILL LIKE A LOT OF THESE NUMBERS, WE WANTED TO, TO VIEW THESE NUMBERS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS LINING UP. 
          I WOULD ARGUE THAT PERHAPS THE LAST COLUMN ISN'T COMPLETELY NECESSARY TO LOOK AT QUARTER OVER QUARTER, BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S KIND OF EVENED OUT IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF, OF PEOPLE THAT WERE REMOVING FROM THE QUEUE. 
          BUT, UM, I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT A YEAR OVER YEAR NOW LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD A YEAR OF DATA. 
          SO THERE'S NO SEASONAL TREND HERE THAT I CAN GIVE YOU. 
          THERE'S NO, UM, IN TERMS OF 
          [01:45:01]
WHO WE'RE ADDING TO THE QUEUE, HOW LONG THE QUEUE IS, AND UH, THE NUMBER OF CLIENTS THAT WERE REFERRED TO A PROGRAM, UM, THAT HAS NOT SETTLED IN ANY WAY. 
          IT DOES FLUCTUATE QUITE A BIT BASED ON JUST THE NUMBER OF PLOTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO OPEN. 
          I WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT THESE NUMBERS GO DOWN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AND THEY, THEY WOULD GO UP DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS JUST BECAUSE FLOW IS A BUYER DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME. 
          BUT I HONESTLY COULD NOT SHOW THAT TO YOU STATISTICALLY, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THEIR MUCH. 
          AND I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, TAKEAWAY IS THAT THE BAND IS MUCH GREATER THAN THE SUPPLY. 
          AND EITHER, LIKE THAT'S, THAT'S THE REALITY IS WE HAVE FAR MORE PEOPLE THAT WANT, YOU KNOW, A ABILITY TO GET INTO PERMANENT HOUSING WEDGE, THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE. 
          WE HAVE FAR MORE PEOPLE THAT WANNA SHELTER BED. 
          WE HAVE SHELTER BEDS AVAILABLE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, OUR DEMAND AND NEED IN BOTH AREAS IS, IS REALLY HIGHER THAN WHAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT. 
          UM, ONE THING THAT I'LL PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE IN A BIT, UM, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW OUR HIS SYSTEM HAS SOMEWHAT BEEN SILOED, UH, WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY HARD TO FULLY KNOW ARE THESE, YOU KNOW, 1,150 PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, OF THOSE 1,150, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ALSO SEEKING SHELTER IN LA COUNTY? UH, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF A MERGER, BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THOSE 1,150 PEOPLE A LITTLE BETTER ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN LA COUNTY IN A MORE BROAD SENSE. 
          AND THAT'S COMING SHORTLY. 
          SO WHAT CONFUSES ME IS THE PIP COUNT COUNTS ALL SHELTER. 
          SO THE NUMBER WOULD BE HIGHER, 1500 OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THE 500 PEOPLE THAT HAVE MENTAL ILLNESS OR OTHER THINGS ARE NOT ON THE QUEUE RIGHT. 
          TO WANT ATTENTION. 
          SOME ARE ON QUEUE. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          YES, CORRECT. 
          THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DEFINITIVELY SAID, I AM INTERESTED IN SOME SORT OF YES. 
          SO, WHICH NOT EVERYBODY. 
          SO I THINK FOR ME, OUT OF THIS SHELTERED UNSHELTERED TIP COUNT, THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT NUMBER. 
          THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE DEMAND. 
          YES. 
          IT MAY, IT MAY NOT BE A, IT'S A DEMAND, I THINK IT NEED TO BE TRACKED OVER TIME. 
          I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT 1037 ONE, WHAT DATA POINT MEANS? IS IT GOING UP? YEAH. 
          AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE HISTORICAL DATA. 
          SO I'D LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, REQUEST THAT WE START SEEING EVEN STARTING IN MARCH, BUILDING THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT, THAT'S A YES. 
          I, I AGREE WITH YOU E ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THIS CAN BE TRACKED OVER TIME. 
          UM, I WILL SAY YOU'RE, YOU CONTINUE TO, TO, UM, POINT BACK OR POINT IN TIME COUNT AND I WANT TO, UM, I WANNA CAUTION YOU IN DOING THAT IN LARGE PART CORRELATION. 
          WELL, SURE. 
          YES. 
          BUT TO THE POINT THAT YOU JUST MADE, WHICH IS THAT THIS IS A DYNAMIC NUMBER AND THE POINT IN TIME COUNT IS STATIC IN A VERY SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME. 
          SO, UM, YES. 
          I THINK THIS NUMBER HERE IS FAR MORE INDICAT, LIKE THE, OH, THIS THE LASER POINTER, SO LEMME PUT IT IN. 
          WE PUT IT IN ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN MY  WERE SAY KINDA HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE NEED TO POWER FIND SHELTER FOOD? I WOULDN'T LOOK AT THE UNSHELTERED NUMBER. 
          I'D SAY THAT'S THE BRAND GO FOR EVERYBODY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          BUT REALLY IT'S THE THOUSAND THAT ARE ON A WAIT LIST THERE. 
          YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T BECAUSE THEY HAVE OTHER CONDITIONS WHERE THEY JUST DON'T CONNECT. 
          SO I, YOU KNOW, I SAID THERE'S THIS ONE SET OF DATA POINT IN TIME AND THEN THERE'S THIS YEAH. 
          WHICH TO ME IS THE ACTIVE, YOU CAN TAKE ACTIONS IN TRACK. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THIS IS A, A, A GOOD NUMBER TO USE TO DEMONSTRATE THIS IS THE DEMAND FOR THESE RETURNS. 
          DEMAND. 
          YEAH. 
          CAN WE GET IT CHECKED AND WE START RECORDING IT HERE, ? ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE CAN SEE WHERE IT GOES. 
          YEAH. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, SO THE, AGAIN, I I, I'M, I'M USING, UM, SOME OF THE PROCESS MAPS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BUT IN ESSENCE, I'M GIVING YOU SOME OF THE NUMBERS HERE IN TERMS OF, UH, HOW LONG IT TOOK. 
          SO THIS GIVES YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THESE RESOURCES. 
          AND THIS IS, UH, THESE NUMBERS ARE GIVING YOU HOW LONG IT'S TAKING THEM TO NAVIGATE THIS SYSTEM. 
          UM, OUR CONNECTION TO, UM, COMMUNITY CUBE REFERRAL. 
          SO WHEN SOMEONE ENTERS OUR HMIS SYSTEM, TO THE POINT AT WHICH THEY ACTUALLY GET A REFERRAL TO THE QUEUE, SO WHEN THEY EXPRESS INTEREST AND GET AN ASSESSMENT, AND THEREFORE IT LEADS THEM ONTO THE COMMUNITY QUEUE, IT'S TAKEN THEM ABOUT 60 DAYS. 
          UM, FOR SHELTER, THAT'S ABOUT 40 DAYS. 
          [01:50:01]
UM, ONCE WE MATCH AN INDIVIDUAL, SO IF THEY'RE ON THE QUEUE AND OUR COORDINATED ENTRY MATTRESS SAYS THIS PERSON IS GOING TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR THIS PROGRAM, THEY MATCH THEM TO THAT PROGRAM FROM MATCH TO HOUSING, MOVE-IN DATE, WHEN THIS PERSON ACTUALLY ENROLLS AND GETS THE KEYS AND MOVES INTO THEIR NEW PLACE, THAT TAKES ABOUT 147 DAYS. 
          UM, AND THE SHELTER EQUIVALENT IS ABOUT 1.3 DAYS. 
          YES. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW, UM, WHEN SOMEBODY GETS ONTO TO THE YOU, HOW LONG IT TAKES THE AVERAGE PERSON TO PLACE IN A SHELTER. 
          NOT JUST THOSE, BECAUSE I REMEMBER LAST WHEN THERE'S THAT VERY SPECIFIC THING ABOUT ONCE SOMEBODY IS MATCHED WITH THE SHELTER, THEN TAKES 42 DAYS TO MOVE THEM. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? ONCE THEY'RE MATCHED TO A SHE. 
          SO IF, IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS MATCHED TO A SHELTER BED, IT TAKES LESS THAN TWO DAYS, 1.3 DAYS FROM THEM TO GO FROM POINT TO WHEN THEY MOVE AND LIKE GET INTO A BED IN THE SHELTER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON AVERAGE, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO ENTERS THE THE CQ, IF THEY WANT SHELTER ON AVERAGE, THEY WOULD BE IN THE SHELTER IN 42 DAYS? NO, UNFORTUNATELY, NO. 
          SO THE, THE, SO, UM, IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU THE, SO ONE, ONE NUMBER THAT YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR IS HOW LONG DO PEOPLE STAY ON THE COMMUNITY AT YOU? YEAH, THAT'S A NUMBER THAT I CAN PROVIDE IN TERMS OF HOW LONG IT TAKES SOMEONE TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE. 
          THE DENOMINATOR HAS TO BE PEOPLE WHO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE, RIGHT? AND SO THAT'S WHAT THESE NUMBERS ARE DEMONSTRATING OF THE PEOPLE WHO DO GET INTO A SHELTER BED. 
          THIS IS HOW LONG IT'S TAKING THEM. 
          THIS IS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO REMAIN ON THE QUEUE. 
          ONE REASON WHY I THINK, SO I, I CAN'T PROVIDE THAT DATA. 
          THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO LOOK REALLY LARGE IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT SOMEONE SPENDS ON THE COMMUNITY QUEUE. 
          IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE RIGHT CENSORED. 
          AND WHEN I MEAN RIGHT CENSORED, IT'S BECAUSE OUR QUEUE DOES HAVE LIKE A, LIKE A REFRESH SYSTEM, MEANING, UM, IF, IF SOMEONE LIKE GOES INACTIVE, UM, WE TAKE THEM OFF THE COMMUNITY QUEUE AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. 
          AND SO, UM, THAT NUMBER THAT I, THAT I'M GONNA PROVIDE TO YOU IS CENSORED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 
          MEANING IT COULD BE LARGER, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE ACTUALLY ARTIFICIALLY CUTTING, LIKE PUTTING A CUP. 
          DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY DOES GET SHELTERED IN LIKE A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE IN LA, WE WOULDN'T KNOW THAT. 
          AND THEY JUST REMAIN ON THE COMMUNITY QUEUE AND WE CONTINUE TO TRY TO MATCH THEM TO OUR SHELTERS. 
          AND WE'RE IN VAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO CONTACT THIS PERSON IN ORDER TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND, AND USING UP OUR RESOURCES TO TRY TO GET THIS PERSON. 
          WE, WE DO HAVE THAT KIND OF REFRESH SYSTEM WHERE IF THEY'VE BEEN ENACTED FOR AN EX, LIKE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, WE REMOVE THEM FROM THE COMMUNITY QUEUE. 
          SO IT, IT IS, IT'S, IT IS INDICATIVE AND IT IS INFORMATIVE. 
          IT IS ALSO, UM, ARTIFICIALLY CUT OFF, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          SO CERTAINLY SOMETHING I CAN PROVIDE. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMON, YEAH. 
          WHEN WOULD, WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO BRING BACK THESE TRACKING WAIT LISTS? NEXT MONTH? TRACKING WAIT LIST. 
          OH, OH YEAH. 
          LIKE MY PRESENTATION ON DATA IS BY QUARTER, SO NO, THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT YOU MADE THAT YOU'RE GONNA CREATE A TRACKING REPORT. 
          WAIT LIST. 
          OH, FOR THIS I CAN DO THIS BY MONTH I WOULD, I, I I, NO, NO. 
          WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BRING THE REPORT TO US TO SEE, SAID WE WERE GONNA DO IT? WELL, HE, DELTA COMES TO US QUARTERLY. 
          YEAH, I DON'T CARE. 
          COULD BE QUARTERLY WHENEVER YOU . 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE'LL BRING IT NEXT QUARTER. 
          I CAN BRING IT NEXT QUARTER. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, AND, AND I CAN HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN BY MONTH, IF THAT WAS THE, SO MARCH WE WILL SEE A REPORT BY MONTH. 
          NO, WHICH NEXT PERIOD ENDS IN MARCH? MAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IN IN MAY. 
          I THINK IN MAY YOU'LL BE COMING BACK AND SEE THE YES, YOU CAN, YOU CAN HAVE LIKE A TIME SERIES OF ALL OF THESE NUMBERS OVER. 
          TRY TO GIVE THEM SOME MONTH AFTER THE QUARTER TO LIKE MAKE SURE IF THE DATA YEAH, EXACTLY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE WILL UNDERSTAND IS TRENDS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          NOT SPECIFIC NUMBERS. 
          IT'S TRENDS WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND, AND I, I AGREE. 
          I THINK TRENDS ARE FAR MORE INDICAT. 
          I I WANNA SAY UNFORTUNATELY, I, UP UNTIL THIS POINT, TRENDS WOULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE BIT DICEY TO GIVE YOU BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS VERY NEW AND WE WERE STILL WORKING OUT, KIM. 
          AND SO IF YOU WERE ATTEMPTING TO BRIDGE TWO DIFFERENT NUMBERS FROM OUR VERY EARLY NUMBERS, THOSE EARLY NUMBERS HAD A LOT OF NOISE. 
          I'LL SAY, UH, AND I, I'LL I'LL SAY THIS, THESE NUMBERS ARE GOOD, WHICH IS WHY I LIKE PRESENTING THEM. 
          BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WHEN, WHEN AFTER WE'VE PLATEAUED IN TERMS OF OUR DATA QUALITY, UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL CONFIDENT, DEMONSTRATED, ASSURED, YOU CAN TREND IT EXACTLY. 
          BAR GRAPH AND THEN WE CAN QUICKLY 
          [01:55:01]
PICK UP ON PRECISELY. 
          YES, I AGREE. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALRIGHT, UM, HOW MUCH TIME DO I, I'M SORRY IF I, IF I USED UP MY ENTIRE, ALL RIGHT, I'LL GO FAST. 
          SO, UH, OCCUPANCY, SO AGAIN, UM, BIG DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD WAS, YOU KNOW, DEMAND AND SUPPLY. 
          AND IF WE, IF DEMAND IS EXCEEDING SUPPLY, ARE WE DOING ENOUGH? AND SO HERE'S, HERE'S ONE DEMONSTRATION OF, OF WHAT WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO. 
          THIS IS OUR, OUR OCCUPANCY RATES. 
          AND SO, UM, ONE REQUEST FROM LAST TIME WAS TO GET THE NUMERATOR DENOMINATOR HERE. 
          YOU'LL SEE THOSE HERE PROVIDED NEXT TO THE PERCENTAGES. 
          UM, THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE, UM, LOOKING AT HERE, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. 
          AND AGAIN, I CAN MAKE THIS MORE VISUAL, I APOLOGIZE. 
          I'M A DATA GUY. 
          I LIKE LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS AND DEVELOPMENT TABLES. 
          SO I, I, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO BEND TO YOUR WILL A LITTLE BIT MORE AND, AND PROVIDE THE VISUALS THAT YOU'D LIKE. 
          UM, BUT SO OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, UM, I HAVE LITTLE NOTES HERE DESCRIBING SOME OF THE DATA QUALITY ISSUES THAT WE WERE CONFRONTING WITH IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. 
          YOU'LL SEE A DROP OFF IN NOVEMBER, SPECIFICALLY ON THE NUMBER OF BEDS THAT WERE AVAILABLE. 
          SO OUR INVENTORY, AND THAT'S IN LARGE PART BECAUSE, UM, ONE OF OUR SITES JUST HAD SOME, SOME DATA ISSUES THAT WE RECOVERED FROM IN DECEMBER. 
          UM, AND IN DECEMBER, HOWEVER, UM, THERE IS A, THERE'S A SHELTER THAT IS NOT IN OUR HMIS SYSTEM. 
          WE ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. 
          LIKE, IT, IT IS, THE JURISDICTION BEHIND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX, BUT THE DATA ENTRY IS NOT IN OUR HMIS, IT HAPPENS IN LOSSES. 
          H-M-I-S-I REACHED OUT TO LASSET TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. 
          UM, THEY JUST STOPPED ENTERING DATA, UM, LIKE IN MID-NOVEMBER. 
          AND SO LIKE THOSE NUMBERS DROPPED AND THAT'S WHY OUR DECEMBER OCCUPANCY LOOKS LOW. 
          OUR INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, WE ARE STILL THE MATCHER RESPONSIBLE FOR FILLING THOSE BEDS. 
          OUR INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, OUR EMAILS WITH THE PROVIDER HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY WERE AT CAPACITY THIS ENTIRE TIME. 
          THEY JUST WERE NOT LOGGING THIS INFORMATION DUE TO STAFF CAPACITY IN LOSS SYSTEM. 
          AND SO THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE MONITORED HAD WE HAD ACCESS TO LOSS SYSTEM, BUT WE DIDN'T AT THE TIME. 
          WE DO NOW BECAUSE WE'RE MERGING. 
          UM, AND SO THAT WILL NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK THEM. 
          PROVIDE, WHAT SHELTER IS THAT? UH, THE, UH, 7 0 2 AT ANAHEIM. 
          7 0 2 ANAHEIM SHELTER. 
          THE FACT YOUR STUDIO SHELTER, RIGHT? BUT IT IS A LOSS OF CONTRACT. 
          YEAH, BUT DID WE LOSE TWO PERMANENT BEDS? SOMEHOW? IT WAS 3 73 THEN THREE 70. 
          YEAH. 
          SO OCCUPANCY OFF, LIKE I I'LL SAY YOU'LL, YOU'LL SEE THOSE NUMBERS CHANGE AND SHIFT HERE A LOT MORE. 
          AND I'LL, I'LL, I CAN EXPLAIN WHY. 
          YES. 
          I, YES. 
          WELL, THE DENOMINATOR HERE ALSO SHIFT AS WELL. 
          UM, AND SO, BUT YES, THAT 3 73 3 71 THAT IS AT OUR, OUR, UM, THK SITE, OUR, OUR PROJECT HOME KEY SITE. 
          UM, THEY'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON, UM, COUPLE UNITS. 
          AND SO THEY REDUCED THEIR CAPACITY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. 
          AND SO THAT THEN GETS TO THE QUESTION OF WHY IS THE DENOMINATOR SHIFTING SO MUCH HERE? THE REASON WHY YOU SEE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DENOMINATOR SHIFT MORE, SORRY, LEMME JUST EXPLAIN. 
          OKAY, SO AT PROJECT HOME KEY, WE HAD TO CLOSE THE LOBBY AND THERE WAS AN EMPTY ROOM. 
          AND THAT THEN SHIFTED TO, UH, OFFICE SPACE AND KIND OF SHIFTING WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE LOBBY. 
          ONCE THAT'S COMPLETED, UH, THOSE ROOMS WILL COME BACK ON. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          SO, AND TO THAT END, THAT HAPPENS IN OUR, I SHOULD SAY, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE, THE NUMBERS HERE ARE JUST HIGHER. 
          WE HAVE A HIGHER PROPORTION OF PROGRAMS REPORTING THEIR BED IN OUR HI SYSTEM HERE. 
          AND SO WHAT HAPPENS, THEY DO, THE WAY THAT WE MATCH CLIENTS TO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING UNITS DOES REQUIRE THAT THE PROVIDER PUT IN THEIR AVAILABILITY. 
          IN ESSENCE, THEY HAVE TO REPORT THEIR INVENTORY IN THE SYSTEM DAILY OR WHENEVER A UNIT BECOMES AVAILABLE OR ELSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET A MATCH. 
          THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME EXACT WAY THAT IT'S DONE FOR SHELTERS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY SHELTERS ARE FAR MORE STABLE. 
          THEY, THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY SHIFTING THEIR RESOURCES UP AND DOWN AS MUCH. 
          YOU'LL SEE THOSE RESOURCES SHIFT QUITE A BIT MORE WITH PERMANENT SUPPORT HOUSING. 
          SO ONE THING THAT ALSO EXISTS WITHIN OUR, UH, PERMANENT HOUSING PORTFOLIO, WE MIGHT FUND A PROGRAM THROUGH OUR COC TO BASICALLY PAY FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE FOR 24 PEOPLE. 
          THAT'S OUR RECORD. 
          HOWEVER, THEY HAVE MORE FUNDING THAT CAN GO BEYOND THAT. 
          24 PEOPLE, THEY COULD ENROLL ANOTHER PERSON. 
          SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A FLUCTUATION WITHIN THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT, 
          [02:00:01]
UM, MIGHT BE AVAILABLE AT ANY MOMENT. 
          THE OTHER THING THAT YOU KNOW I WANT TO SPEAK TO IS AROUND OCCUPANCY. 
          UM, MOST OF OUR PROGRAMS, I WOULD SAY 90% OF THEM ARE CONSISTENTLY AT, YOU KNOW, FULL OCCUPANCY OR HAVE ONE UNIT AVAILABLE. 
          THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PROGRAMS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN, UH, LOW UTILIZATION FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REASONS. 
          THOSE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN, UH, REALLOCATED WITHIN THIS YEAR'S COC COMPETITION. 
          UH, AND NEW BEDS ARE BEING PUT FORWARD. 
          SO SOME OF THIS LOW OCCUPANCY IS DRIVEN BY JUST A COUPLE PROGRAMS, UH, THAT ARE BEING REDUCED. 
          SO, UH, THAT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE EFFECT IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. 
          SO HOPEFULLY, UH, THAT REDUCES SOME CHRONIC UNDER UTILIZATION THAT EXISTS WITHIN RPSH AND WE'VE TAKEN AWAY FUNDING FROM THAT CHRONIC . 
          BASIC QUESTION. 
          SO THERE'S SHELTER SHELTERS, WHICH ARE DIFFERENT FROM INTERIM HOUSING. 
          DIFFERENT INTERIM HOUSING IS THE UMBRELLA TERM THAT SHELTERS ARE INCLUDED WITH. 
          LIKE THEY'RE, THEY'RE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, EMERGENCY SHELTER, AND SAFE HAVEN, THOSE ARE ALL CONSIDERED INTERIM HOUSING, EMERGENCY SHELTERS, SAFE PAYMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SOME WONKY DEFINITIONS, BUT THERE IS DIFFERENCE WITHIN YES, THEY THERE ARE DISTINCTIONS. 
          YES. 
          SO 7 33 REPRESENTS THE ONES WE HAVE CONTRACTED. 
          THE LOCATIONS WHERE WE HAVE SHELTERS, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          AS WELL AS SOME . 
          AND THEN YOU WANT TO MOVE THOSE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING OR FUNDING SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. 
          UM, THEN THEY COME OFF OF THE UNSHELTERED. 
          CORRECT. 
          THEY THEY COME OFF WITH A UN HOMELESS COUNT BY GOING ONTO MENTS. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          THESE INDIVIDUALS HERE, ANYBODY WHO'S REPRESENTED IN, UH, IN THESE OCCUPANCY GRADES HERE, THEY ARE NOT COUNTED IN OUR POINT TIME. 
          WE DO INCLUDE PEOPLE THAT FALL INTO THIS IN A REPORT TO HUD, BUT IT'S NOT A PART OF OUR, OUR HOMELESS STAFF. 
          GOT. 
          ALRIGHT, I'M MOVE ON TO OPERATIONS REPORT. 
          UH, WE HAVE ONE NEW STAFF LAST MONTH. 
          SO, UH, YESENIA BECERRA HAS JOINED US AS A COMMUNITY PROGRAM SPECIALIST, UH, BACK FILLING A, UH, PROMOTION FROM ANOTHER STAFF. 
          SO, UH, WE'RE KIND OF RECONFIGURING SOME STUFF, BUT SHE'LL BE SUPPORTING AROUND, UH, CONTRACT EXPECTATIONS AND WORKING TO SUPPORT THAT AS WELL AS SOME INVOICING. 
          UH, AND THEN STEPHANIE HAS BEEN PROMOTED TO AN ADMIN ANALYST, THREE OVERSEEING OUR MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE. 
          SO THAT TAKES EFFECT TO SATURDAY. 
          SO , SO WE'LL, WE'LL, THERE PROBABLY WILL BE SOME CHANGES HAPPENING WITH SUPPORT. 
          UH, AS FAR AS STAFFING FOR, UM, OUR DIFFERENT GOVERNANCE ENTITIES, UH, WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING, UH, ALEXA'S POSITION BACKFILLED AND CHANGING SOME STUFF. 
          SO, UH, THAT SHOULD BE COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS WELL. 
          UM, AND THAT POSITION WILL SUPPORT BOTH HAY SAC AND THE COC BOARD, UH, AND OUR COORDINATED ENTRY. 
          SO WE'RE RECONFIGURING SOME STUFF, UH, BUT THAT POSITION, YOU WILL SEE THAT PERSON, UH, REALLY TAKE OVER SOME OF THAT SPACE AND COORDINATION, UH, SIMILAR TO HOW ALVIN, UH, USED TO A FEW YEARS AGO FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. 
          UM, SO, UH, A NUMBER OF POSITIONS THAT ARE IN RECRUITMENT, CONTINUING TO MAKE PROGRESS IN, UH, GETTING ALL POSITIONS FILLED. 
          UH, SO WE DID HAVE THE HOMELESS COUNT, UH, LARGELY SUCCESSFUL. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO COVER ALL OF THE MAPS. 
          UH, WE HAD THE SPECIALIZED COUNT, SO WE WILL HAVE THE FULL REPORT RELEASED, UH, BY END OF APRIL. 
          SO WE'RE NOW WORKING ON TAKING THE DATA THAT WE GOT IN, UH, PUTTING IT TOGETHER, MAKING SURE WE'RE DE-DUPLICATING ENTRIES OR SOMEBODY MIGHT HAVE BEEN SURVEYED TWICE, UH, AND REALLY KIND OF LOOKING AT THE DE DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS OF IT. 
          SO THAT'LL COME OUT IN LATE APRIL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK NOBODY IS PROBABLY, HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY'S AWARE AND  HAS BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, BUT WE DID HAVE THE POTENTIAL, UH, FREEZES AROUND GOVERNMENT, UH, DISTRIBUTIONS OF FUNDS ACROSS A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. 
          UH, THAT HAPPENED THE, JUST LAST WEEK. 
          UH, IT DID FREEZE A COUPLE OF OUR, UH, SYSTEMS WHERE WE DO 
          [02:05:01]
DRAW DOWN FUNDING. 
          UM, SO THIS FREEZE DID OCCUR. 
          UH, WE WERE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO OUR SYSTEM ON LATE WEDNESDAY. 
          SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO MONITOR THE SITUATION. 
          WE'LL CONTINUE TO DRAW DOWN REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABLE TO GET OUR FUNDING IN AND PAY OUR PROVIDERS AS WELL AS OURSELVES. 
          UH, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE MONITORING CLOSELY. 
          WE ARE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE WERE TO BE A FREEZE AGAIN, WHAT IS OUR PLAN? HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PAY PEOPLE'S RENTS? UM, THIS IS A BIG ISSUE FOR THE HOUSING. 
          THE HOUSING AUTHORITY IS 100% FEDERAL FUNDING. 
          IT SUPPORTS 8,000 PEOPLE'S RENTS EACH MONTH. 
          SO, UH, YOU KNOW, THE POTENTIAL OF A LONG-TERM FREEZE WOULD BE PRETTY DRASTIC ON OUR COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. 
          AND THE PEOPLE THAT, UH, RELY ON THE CITY AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR, FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. 
          UH, THE MSE DID ACTIVATE OUR INCLEMENT WEATHER SHELTER STARTING ON ONE DEATH, ONE SEVEN IN RESPONSE TO THE WINDS THAT NIGHT. 
          ALSO STRUCK THE FIRE. 
          UM, AND WE WERE THEN OPEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH FEBRUARY THE FIRST, UH, TO SUPPORT THE COUNTY AIR QUALITY PEOPLE, UH, THAT WE'RE SEEKING SHELTER AWAY FROM THE FIRE. 
          SO WE DID HAVE SOME PEOPLE COMING FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY. 
          UH, WE DID RESUME YESTERDAY BASED UPON RAIN. 
          UH, AND WE'LL BE ACTIVATED THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. 
          SO WE HAVE BEEN ALMOST ACTIVATED A FULL MONTH, BUT THEY SMALL LITTLE BREAK, UH, OVER THE WEEKEND FOR IWS. 
          SO, UH, THIS IS BIG LIFT. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, WE RELY ON A LOT OF OUR BUREAU STUFF AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UH, TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          SO WE'VE SEEN PRETTY GOOD UTILIZATION. 
          UH, FIRST COUPLE NIGHTS THAT WE OPENED, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T QUITE AT FULL CAPACITY, BUT WE'VE BEEN AT HANDOVER CAPACITY IN MOTEL VOUCHER, UH, SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME. 
          SO TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE SHELTERING PEOPLE SEEKING, UH, AND NEEDING SHELTER IN THOSE MOMENTS. 
          UM, SO IT'S, UH, WE WON'T CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE REST OF THE SEASON, BUT IT'S BEEN A BUSY SEASON, UH, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LAST MONTH. 
          SO WE HAVE, UH, 65 BEDS. 
          WE'VE GONE SLIGHTLY OVER AT MOMENTS AND FOUND SPACE, YOU KNOW, TO SUPPORT PEOPLE AND THEN ALSO WORKED AT MOTEL VOUCHER PEOPLE, UM, TRYING TO STAY CLOSE WITHIN THAT 65. 
          AND IS THAT ALSO, THAT IS LOSS OF FUNDED? UH, THERE ARE A FEW DAYS WHERE WE HAVE ACTIVATED WHERE, UH, THE COUNTY WASN'T ACTIVATING, UM, WHERE WE'RE UTILIZING OTHER FUNDING. 
          UH, SO ONE DASH SEVEN WAS ACTUALLY OUR ACTIVATION FROM THE CITY. 
          IT WAS NOT THE COUNTY ASKING US TO ACTIVATE. 
          UH, AND THEN WHEN WE ACTIVATED LAST NIGHT, THAT WAS ALSO ON US. 
          THE COUNTY HAS NOW ACTIVATED, UH, AND WILL BE, UM, PAYING FOR THE BETS THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY. 
          SO MOST NIGHTS WE'RE GETTING PAID TO THE COUNTY. 
          SOME NIGHTS WE'VE DONE IT THROUGH OTHER FUNDING. 
          UM, SO, UM, THE LONG BEACH WAS REACHED OUT TO BY, BY THE COUNTY OF LA AROUND MEASURE A. 
          SO THIS WAS A HALF SET SALES TAX, UH, ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT TO CONTINUE FUNDING OF HOMELESS SERVICES AS WELL AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORTS, UH, WITHIN THE COUNTY. 
          SO THERE IS A 15% SET ASIDE FOR WHAT'S CALLED THE LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND. 
          THIS IS A NEW PIECE. 
          UM, IT, IT WILL AWARD UP TO 20 JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. 
          SO WE ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A ALLOCATION THROUGH, UM, THE LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND. 
          WE'LL HAVE TO APPLY, PROPOSE WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. 
          UH, THEY ARE STILL TAKING FEEDBACK ON METHODOLOGIES, UH, BUT IF AWARDED, WE COULD BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR BETWEEN FIVE AND A HALF TO $6.2 MILLION THROUGH THE LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND. 
          UM, AGAIN, THEY'RE STILL DETERMINING THAT AND STILL WORKING THROUGH WHAT THE PROCESS WILL BE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL KNOW A LITTLE MORE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AROUND, UH, THE LOCAL SOLUTION FUND, BUT WE CAN AND CAN APPLY FOR AND HOW WE GO ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, ONE THING THAT ISN'T ON HERE, BUT JUST WANTED TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT, UH, WE ARE WORKING ON FINALIZING A CONTRACT WITH HEALTH NET HEALTH NET FOR CAL LANE FUNDING. 
          WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO FUND UP A HOUSING NAVIGATION TEAM AND REALLY FOCUS A LITTLE MORE ON DIRECTLY HELPING PEOPLE FIND, 
          [02:10:01]
UH, AND MOVE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. 
          SO, UH, THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO BRING IN SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS, UH, AND REALLY TYING INTO OTHER PROGRAMS. SO A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE. 
          WE'RE DOING SOME STUFF, BUT, UH, REALLY TO PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE IN DEPTH SUPPORT THAN NECESSARILY WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE THROUGH THE MSE, UH, THE MAC OUTREACH, UM, AS WE'RE KIND OF OFTENTIMES HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN BETWEEN PERMANENT HOUSING AND THE SERVICES THAT THAT HOUSING PROGRAM PROVIDES. 
          AND WHAT THE MSC OUTREACH OR THE BACK ROAD? UH, SO THIS IS A POSITIVE THING. 
          WE'RE SEEING, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT REQUESTS FOR UTILIZATION. 
          UM, THERE ARE OTHER PROVIDERS, NONPROFITS WITHIN THE CITY THAT ALSO HAVE CALEND CONTRACTS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO BRING IN MORE SUPPORT THROUGH USING MEDICAID MEDI-CAL DOLLARS, UH, TO FUND THOSE TYPES OF SERVICES. 
          SO MORE TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT WE'RE MORE FINALIZING CONTRACT ON, UH, AS I MENTIONED, UH, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MERGING OUR HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM. 
          HISTORICALLY, WE HAVE OUR OWN SERVER HERE IN LONG BEACH. 
          IT IS SEPARATE, UH, FROM THE SERVER THAT, UH, LOSS OF PASADENA AND GLENDALE USE. 
          SO ALL THE REST OF THE COUNTY MINUS SANTA MONICA ALSO ADDED ALSO. 
          THEY'RE ALSO MERGING INTO THE SAME SERVER AS WE ARE. 
          UH, SO WE STARTED THAT WORK, UM, JUST RECENTLY, A COUPLE, ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. 
          UH, SO BASICALLY THEY'RE TAKING THE DATA WITHIN THE SERVER THAT WE HAVE AND THEY ARE MIGRATING IT INTO THE . 
          SO SOUNDS SIMPLE ENOUGH. 
          THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THAT WITH MAPPING DUPLICATION OF IN, YOU KNOW, RECORDS OF PEOPLE. 
          SO WHEN SOMEBODY'S RECORD IS CREATED, THAT LIKE IS THEM. 
          SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO PICK WHICH RECORDS WE KEEP AND THEN MERGE THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY'RE ENROLLED IN, UH, INTO A SINGLE ENTITY. 
          SO THERE'S A LITTLE MORE THAT GOES INTO IT, BUT WE SHOULD BE DONE BY NEXT MONDAY. 
          NOT COMPLETELY, BUT WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION THAT WE CAN START TO UTILIZE THE SYSTEM AGAIN. 
          SO WE'RE KIND OF IN A DARK PERIOD WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO ENTER INTO OUR HMIS SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. 
          BUT IN THE LONG RUN, IT'LL BE VERY BENEFICIAL. 
          WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE OUR PEOPLE ARE CONNECTING THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTY, UH, WHO THEY'RE WORKING WITH. 
          WE CAN PICK UP THE PHONE A LOT EASIER AND CONNECT WITH PEOPLE. 
          SO IT'S A LONG TIME COMING. 
          THIS WILL BE HIGHLY BENEFICIAL FOR THE PEOPLE WE ARE SERVING. 
          IT'S HIGHLY BENEFICIAL FOR OFFICIAL, FOR STAFF THAT ARE PROVIDING THE SERVICES, NOT JUST CITY STAFF. 
          THIS IS ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS THAT WE FUND, UH, AS WELL AS SOME PROGRAMS THAT WE DON'T FUND THAT USE OUR, OUR, UH, HMI ASSIST. 
          SO WE HAVE TWO OVER 200 RESERVES AND HMI HAS PROVIDING SERVICES, UH, ACROSS OUR DIFFERENT, UH, PROGRAMS HERE IN LONG BEACH. 
          SO IN THE INTERIM, WE HAVE BEEN UTILIZING AN OUTSIDE SYSTEM WHERE WE'VE BEEN COLLECTING DATA. 
          THE AGREEMENT IS IF PROVIDERS USE THAT SYSTEM, WE'LL UPLOAD THAT DATA WHEN THE MERGER COMPLETES. 
          IF NOT, THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING THAT DATA THEMSELVES. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF NOT CREATE A BACKLOG OF DATA. 
          UH, BUT THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, UH, THIS WILL BE VERY POSITIVE. 
          UH, TWO MORE SLIDES. 
          UH, SO WE GOT THE NOTIFICATION ON THE FREEZE AND THE CHALLENGES WITHIN THAT. 
          THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT UNFROZE, WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT WE WERE BEING AWARDED A MILLION DOLLARS IN EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT, RAPID UNSHELTERED SURVIVOR HOUSING, SHORTEN ESG RUSH. 
          SO THIS IS, UH, A PART OF THE OVERALL FIRE RESPONSE. 
          UH, THE DECK DECLARATION OF IT EMERGENCY WAS FOR THE COUNTY OF LA AS A WHOLE. 
          SO, UH, ANY EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT ENTITLEMENT AREA, UH, WAS OFFERED FUNDING THROUGH THE RUSH PROGRAM. 
          UH, SO WE WERE ALLOCATED A MILLION DOLLARS WITHIN THIS FIRST ROUND. 
          SAME WITH ALL OTHER ENTITIES, CITY OF LA, COUNTY OF MO, PASADENA, POMONA, UH, GLENDALE. 
          UM, AND THEN THE STATE WAS ALLOCATED 3 MILLION A SECOND ROUND WILL LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT. 
          THIS IS JUST REALLY QUICK TRYING TO GET THE MONEY ONTO THE GROUND QUICKLY. 
          UM, SO THERE ARE A LOT OF, A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CHANGED WITHIN THIS. 
          WE'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. 
          UH, WE HAVE HAD SOME INITIAL MEETINGS WITH THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS WITHIN LA COUNTY. 
          WE WILL BE TAKING THE LEAD OF, UM, REALLY LA COUNTY, LA CITY AND PASADENA AS THE MOST CLOSELY IMPACTED, UH, JURISDICTIONS 
          [02:15:01]
AND TRYING TO ALIGN THOSE FUNDS. 
          SO WE HAVE MORE MEETINGS COMING UP. 
          UH, WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE STATE AND A NUMBER OF FEDERAL, UH, EMERGENCY DISASTER RESPONSE EXPERTS THAT HAVE HISTORY OF MANY DIFFERENT, UM, DISASTERS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. 
          UH, PEOPLE THAT HAVE RECENTLY WORKED ON THE HURRICANE AND FLOODING THAT HAPPENED ON THE EAST COAST, WORKING CLOSELY WITH NORTH CAROLINA, UH, AND THEIR RECOVERY RESPONSES. 
          SO TRYING TO LEARN FROM WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING. 
          THIS IS OUR INITIAL, UH, PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF FUNDS, REALLY FOCUSED ON RAPID REHOUSING AND SHELTERING. 
          UH, THIS MAY ADJUST SOME BASED UPON PLANNING, BUT THIS IS OUR INITIAL, UH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING. 
          SO, UM, REALLY TRYING TO MOSTLY FOCUS ON THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN DISPLACED OR WERE UNSHELTERED AT THE TIME OF AND HAVE BEEN IMPACTED, UH, BUT ALSO TRYING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF PREVENTION FOR PEOPLE THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TAP INTO OTHER, UM, RESOURCES THAT ARE COMING FROM A STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL LEVEL. 
          UH, SO MORE TO COME, UH, ON THIS WILL PROVIDE UPDATES AS AS THIS KIND OF ROLES OUT. 
          UM, SO WE JUST FOUND OUT LAST WEEK, I'M MOVING QUICKLY, BUT TRYING TO STAY IN THE LIFE. 
          UH, AND THEN LASTLY, STAFF, UH, HAVE APPLIED THROUGH THE LOSS INTERIM HOUSING RFP. 
          SO, UH, AS KIND OF SAID EARLIER, UH, THE COUNTY IS REPROCURING THEIR BEDS. 
          THIS COMES LARGELY OFF OF THAT REPORT THAT JIM, UH, HAD REFERENCED EARLIER, UM, WHERE THEY HIRED AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT. 
          THEY DID SURVEYS WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES. 
          THEY WENT IN AND MET WITH A DI A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SHELTERS, UH, AND LOOKING AT THE COSTS THAT THEY HAD WHERE THERE WERE DEFICITS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH BUDGET, LOOKING AT WHAT DO CERTAIN THINGS COST, UM, QUALITY OF THE SHELTERS, HOW THAT'S IMPACTED, THAT IS ALL REFLECTED IN THIS REPORT THAT APT AND, UH, KPMG WORKED ON TOGETHER. 
          UM, AND, UH, CAME OUT LAST YEAR. 
          THERE WAS SOME ADJUSTMENTS EARLY THE LAST OR MIDDLE LAST YEAR. 
          WE HAD TALKED WITH THE COUNTY, UM, AND LASA ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT WAS GONNA ROLL OUT, WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN ALIGNMENT. 
          UH, SO BASICALLY THEY ARE CREATING SOME STRUCTURES DEPENDING AROUND, YOU KNOW, IS THIS AN OWNED BUILDING? IS THIS A LEASED BUILDING OR MORTGAGE BUILDING? WHAT ARE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WITH THAT? AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS, UH, AND WHAT IS AND WHAT'S NOT BEING COVERED BY OTHER ENTITIES. 
          SO, UH, WITHIN THEIR NEW STRUCTURE, UM, THEY ARE LOOKING AT ANYWHERE FROM LIKE 80 TO A HUNDRED DOLLARS, UH, OR $110 PER BED, DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. 
          SO THE BEDS THAT WE OWN, WE WOULD BE LOOKING MORE AT LIKE $89, UH, IS WHAT WE'RE PUTTING FORWARD. 
          UM, AND THAT, UM, AND I THINK WE ACTUALLY TALKED LAST TIME ABOUT HOW LA IS SOMETIMES ABLE TO OFFER HIGHER, HIGHER RATES FOR PROVIDERS. 
          AND, UM, SO WILL, HOW WILL THIS IMPROVE KIND OF SERVICE FROM THE QUALITY OF YOUR EXPERIENCES IN THE SHELTERS IF  BETTER TO GO? YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THE REALITY IS HOPEFULLY, I MEAN UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO LIKE COORDINATE OR LEGAL AROUND THIS AND THERE BECOMES AN ISSUE OF PRICE FIXING. 
          IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED, BUT HOPEFULLY SHELTERS START PAYING STAFF A LITTLE BETTER. 
          UH, AND THAT ATTRACTS BETTER POTENTIAL CANDIDATES, UM, AS WELL AS RETENTION OVER TIME. 
          LIKE TURNOVER. 
          PART OF THAT REPORT ALSO IS LIKE, TURNOVER IS EXTREMELY HIGH WITHIN SHELTERS. 
          LIKE PEOPLE DO NOT STAY LONG WORKING IN SHELTERS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REASONS. 
          UM, BURNOUT SIDE. 
          SO TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THAT WILL IMPROVE QUALITY AS WELL. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, FOOD HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE. 
          SO MAKING SURE THAT LIKE FOOD IS QUALITY FOOD THROUGHOUT OUR SHELTER SYSTEM IS IMPORTANT THING. 
          THE NUMBER OF STAFFING THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO SUPPORT. 
          SO BEDS, YOU KNOW, IF WE WENT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, MOST BEDS THAT WAFFLE WAS FUNDING WE'RE AT ABOUT $50 PER BED. 
          THIS WOULD BUMP IT UP TO, YOU KNOW, 
          [02:20:01]
30, $40 MORE PER BED, UH, ON AVERAGE. 
          SO, UM, WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO WITH THAT, THE AMOUNT OF STAFF, THE AMOUNT YOU'RE ABLE TO PAY THOSE STAFF, THOSE ALL, BOTH WILL SEE IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UM, SO THAT ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE POT OF FUNDING TO PAY FOR SHELTER DID NOT, IT DOES MEAN THERE WILL PROBABLY BE THE LOSS OF SOME BEDS WITH THEM. 
          AGAIN, THAT'S A TOUGH SCENARIO. 
          UM, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION OF PEOPLE CLOSING BEDS ANYWAY BECAUSE THEY COULD NO LONGER RUN ON WHAT WAS BEING OFFERED FOR EACH BED. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S A TOUGH THING, BUT IT IS A REALITY. 
          UH, THE BEDS THAT WE FUND DIRECTLY, UH, WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO ADJUST. 
          SO, UM, WERE ALREADY IN THE 80 TO $85 PER BED RANGE, UM, ON THE ONES THAT WE WERE DIRECTLY CONTRACTING NOT ATTACHED TO LASA. 
          UH, SO WE STARTED MAKING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS LAST YEAR. 
          UM, AND THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN LASA FUNDED, THIS WILL BRING THAT WITH AN ALIGNMENT. 
          UH, OUR YOUTH NAVIGATION CENTER BEDS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE PRICEY AGAINST A FEW OF THEM, YET YOU STILL HAVE STAFFING COSTS AND OTHER THINGS THAT, OR WHETHER YOU HAVE TWO BEDS OR HAVE 25 BEDS, YOUR STAFFING IS GONNA BE ABOUT THE SAME. 
          UM, SO THOSE BEDS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE. 
          UM, SO THAT'S SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES. 
          UH, BUT I THINK AGAIN, THIS IS A POSITIVE STEP IN THE DIRECTION TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND SAFETY WITHIN SHELTERS. 
          AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER EFFORTS THAT ARE ALSO UNDERWAY WITH OTHER RFPS TO FUND SPECIALIZED BEDS. 
          PROP ONE STUFF. 
          SO THERE ARE SOME OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE HAPPENING AROUND LIKE ATIVE CARE BEDS FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH ISSUES. 
          THOSE PAY A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING HERE. 
          UH, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BEDS WILL PAY A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN WHAT WE'RE TALKING HERE. 
          'CAUSE YOU'RE EXPECTED TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, NURSING OR MENTAL HEALTH RELATED STAFF IN THOSE, UH, TYPES OF BEDS. 
          SO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY CAPTURED HERE. 
          THOSE WOULD BE IN OTHER EFFORTS THAT ARE HAPPENING AT THE COUNTY AND STATE LEVEL. 
          SO THAT CONCLUDES, UH, MY REPORT AND OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PAUL? OKAY. 
          THANK, UM, CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO FILE  STAFF REPORT BY MS. PAUL SECOND? ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM? SEEING NONE. 
          UM, ALL IN FAVOR OF THE FILE. 
          MAY I A, THE CHAIR, VICE CHAIR REPORT, ANYTHING EITHER WAY. 
          UM, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE. 
          OH, CAN WE GET A MOTION, UH, RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE WITH THEIR ADVICE TO REPORT? SORRY. 
          ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE FAVOR RECOMMENDATION CHAIR. 
          FUTURE SECOND. 
          UM, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL FUTURE ITEMS THAT, SO THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED FIVE PLAN TO YOUTH AND SO THAT'S THE AUTHORITY OF WHO? UH, SO IS IT EXACTLY. 
          I MEAN, IT'S A GOAL. 
          IT'S A GOAL, BUT THERE'S A LOT THAT HAS TO, NO, WAIT, WAIT. 
          TRYING TO CLEAR OUT ARE ATED. 
          SO WHEN THE MAYOR MAKES THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, I BELIEVE THAT IT'S INDEPENDENT 
          [02:25:01]
OF THIS  THAT DOING RIGHT NOW, IT'S GONNA BE, I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S MAYOR STATE THAT NEEDS TO BE TRACKED. 
          AND SO I WOULD LIKE IF THAT, AND SO RELATED TO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN OUR NEXT MEETING A REPORT ABOUT CHILDHOOD YOUTH HOMELESSNESS. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T CARE ABOUT DATA, JUST REPORT. 
          AND I WOULD LIKE TO START UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT IT, UH, ABOUT IT. 
          AND I BELIEVE IT'S INDEPENDENT OF THIS STRATEGY THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THIS VISION. 
          AND SO IT'S APPROVED. 
          IT'S, IT'S DONE. 
          WE'RE DOING WORK ON IT, BUT WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD HEAR HURT, HEAR MORE ABOUT IT, START TO SEE DATA, UNDERSTAND WHERE THE CH, HOW IT'S TAKEN CARE OF, WHAT NUMBERS ARE. 
          THAT'S SORT STUFF. 
          THAT SOUNDS GOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          I, IT'S THE MAYOR SAID YES. 
          YES. 
          YOU, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT'S IN CHARGE OF CERTAIN YOUTH. 
          WE HAVE A CITY COLLEGE IN CHARGE OF ANOTHER SEGMENT OF YOUTH. 
          WE HAVE OTHER INSTITUTIONS. 
          VERY COMPLICATED. 
          AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE MAYOR. 
          SO, SO THE MAYOR IS ONLY LOOKING AT HIS , NOT NECESSARILY WITH THE LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT OR THE LONG BEACH CITY COLLEGE OR THE I'M OKAY WITH HIS DEFINITION 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE SAID AND THAT WAS VERIFIABLE. 
          WHATEVER'S VERIFIABLE. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG? YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY ADD IT TO THE LIST SO WE CAN FOLLOW UP AND GET A REPORT AND START TALKING ABOUT IT IN, IN FIVE YEARS. 
          WE SHOULD BE HEARING ACTIVITIES DEVELOPED IN THIS STRATEGY TO ELIMINATE FIVE YEARS. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I'M NOT SURE WHEN CONNOR RETURNS FROM HIS PATERNITY LEAVE, BUT IT'D BE GOOD TO HAVE HIM FOR THAT CONVERSATION. 
          SO I'LL CHECK IN. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OTHER, UM, FUTURE ITEMS? OKAY. 
          THAT WE HAVE. 
          UM, CONNOR, UM, OKAY. 
          UM, DID YOU PICK NO. 
          NO, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY PUBLIC, UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE RECOMMENDATION TO REVIEW THE TRIAL, EITHER AGENDA ITEMS, AI, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO SPEAK ON AN AGENDA ITEMS. IF YOU CAN PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND ANNOUNCEMENT. 
          WE DID SEND OUT THE, I DID SEND OUT AN EMAIL REGARDING THE FORM 700. 
          IF YOU GUYS CAN JUST FILL IT OUT PLEASE. 
          I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY NOT DUE YET, BUT IF WE CAN GET AHEAD OF IT THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO CHASE YOU GUYS DOWN. 
          , WE ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
          WE MADE IT  SO.
