Agenda Item
5 24-0094 Subject: Report On City Managed Homeless Interventions
From: Councilmember Fife
Recommendation: Receive An Informational Report From The City Administrator On All City Managed Homelessness Interventions, Including (1) A List Of All Interventions And Which District Each Intervention Is Located In; (2) The Service Provider And Specific Amenities And Services Provided At Each Location; (3) The Managing City Staff For Each Intervention; And (4) If And How The City Ensures All Of The Necessary Facilities And Services For Residents Are In Place And Fully Functional
Many of the interventions that unhoused are pushed into do not truly support recovery and transition to permanent housing. We have seen how upper management flaunts their supposed success meanwhile residents expose how unsanitary, unsafe and carceral these sites have felt. Lower level workers do their best, or we have seen so much turn over that they cannot adapt to the nuanced needs of an at risk population. Community solutions are needed from people with direct lived experience who understand mutual aid and supporting each other. Thank you
