Several supervisors used the Sept. 11 meeting to report on community‑service work and intergovernmental meetings, summarizing recent activity on housing, refugee resettlement, behavioral‑health provider funding and homelessness outreach.

Supervisor remarks included:
- The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has received a $25,000 county grant to support employment and wraparound services for clients, and the supervisor noted IRC staffing declined from about 40 to 16 workers following federal refugee restrictions earlier in the year; the county grant is intended to shore up employment support services.
- Supervisors reported continued meetings with GuideLink providers to address concerns about billing and cash flow; providers remain concerned about being paid for services rendered and the county said it is working to help bridge initial reimbursement gaps.
- Shelter House and city partners have discussed visible encampments; supervisors said they held a meeting with Shelter House and municipal representatives to explore options and expect further discussion next week.
- The county’s housing assessment presentation and consultant work were praised by supervisors, and supervisors reported ongoing joint meetings with cities on shared facilities and authorities.
- Supervisors also noted conversations with Domestic Violence Intervention Program and other advocacy groups about triage for mediation‑type services, highlighting caution about sending mediators into cases that involve domestic violence.

These reports were informational; no board action was recorded on these items at the Sept. 11 meeting.
