Staff Present- Michael Crooker, Cathy Conlow, and Orinda Fogler Chairperson Nichols opened the meeting at 5:40 PM. Rindy Fogler provided Councilors with background information on the purpose of the funding for the Shelter Plus Care Program. Rindy noted that they receive notice of all the grants at one time but historically they have presented the grants to Councilors individually around the time the each grant starts. Rindy indicated that they decided that they should present all the Shelter Plus programs at the same time. Councilor Baldacci asked how many people are served by the grants. Rindy indicated that approximately 125 households are served with the three grants. Councilor Baldacci asked how many individuals are in those households. Rindy indicated that the majority of the households are a single individual. Rindy explained that the program serves homeless that are either chronically mentally ill, chronic substance abusers or HIV Positive. The intent is to give them a place to live and secure housing first and then provide them with support to thrive. Councilor Sprague motioned to approve the resolves for all three grants. Councilor Faircloth seconded the motion. All in favor. Regular Agenda 1.
