During the meeting's public-comment period a resident urged the City Council to back a 24/7 support center that would provide continuous case management and access to health care for people affected by homelessness.

The commenter said the center would offer “24 hour 7 support, case management, again, access to health care,” and added, “This is not just a shelter. Once again, it is a bridal, a stable, an opportunity to renew hope.” The speaker also referenced four recent encampment sweeps, saying they had observed unmet needs during those operations.

The comment was delivered during the public-comment sign-up window the mayor opened before the council recessed into closed session. No council action on the center was recorded in the public portion of the meeting; the council moved to closed session to discuss separate agenda items.

The speaker thanked those in the room and prompted applause before the meeting continued into closed session.
