The team discussed the hypothermia program, including a recent meeting with the NAACP Housing Committee analyzing the rotating vs. fixed-location structure, and a virtual debrief scheduled by the Office to Prevent and End Homelessness on April 3 that the Housing Program Manager will attend. The city's role was noted as engaging in the conversation and advocating for an analysis. Staff reported on preliminary steps toward establishing a Homeless Docket per the Homelessness Task Force priority recommendation: an inquiry was submitted to the City Attorney to assess data availability on misdemeanor cases potentially associated with individuals experiencing homelessness, and to explore cross-referencing with the homeless services system. Staff reported that the Housing Program Manager will hold encampment coordination meetings with the Human Services Division, Parks Department, Police Department, and City Manager's Office at the start and end of each hypothermia shelter season to review policies and ensure smooth implementation.
