At the Nov. 14, 2023 Bedford County Joint Homeless Taskforce meeting, Toby Sneed provided updates on cold-weather stations and asked the taskforce to plan for purchasing a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), listing an approximate cost of $7,500.
Sneed’s request to plan for the HMIS was presented as an item for future planning rather than a completed purchase; the meeting record does not show a vote or formal budget approval. Sneed also reported on cold-weather station operations and ideas for moving forward with winter sheltering and service coordination.
Kay Bartley described impacts the local soup kitchen has identified, underscoring continuing service needs among people experiencing homelessness that intersect with shelter and data-management planning. The taskforce listed next steps and other business later in the agenda but did not record a formal decision on the HMIS purchase at this meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
