HRC urges stronger ties with Stable Housing Collaborative and local homeless-services groups
Summary
Commissioners discussed homelessness and housing discrimination, encouraged closer work with the Stable Housing Collaborative and accepted an offer to invite Friends and Neighbors to speak about homelessness services.
Commissioners identified homelessness and housing discrimination as priority topics and discussed strengthening the commission’s relationship with the Stable Housing Collaborative and local service providers.
Staff and commissioners said the commission has participated with the Stable Housing Collaborative for over a year and that the group’s current approach appears to be operating in a limited circle; commissioners asked that, given the commission’s influence, members help expand collaborative participation and pursue more active engagement on housing solutions.
One commissioner offered to connect the commission to Friends and Neighbors, a local organization that could present on homelessness services and partnership opportunities; that contact was described as already known by a commissioner who has worked with the group at library events.
Ending: Commissioners agreed to prioritize homelessness and housing-discrimination work and requested staff follow up with the Stable Housing Collaborative and Friends and Neighbors to arrange presentations or joint activity.
