A representative of House of Neighborly Service thanked the Waterloo City Council and staff and described a new tracking tool intended to help the nonprofit coordinate what services are going where and who is doing the work.
"Again, just wanna thank you all very, very much for this," the presenter said, noting that the tool was "especially timely as we are celebrating our 10 years serving the community." The presenter added, "if you guys ever know of someone that needs something, if we can help make connections to resources in any way at all, please, by all means, reach out to Natalie or myself, and we will do what we can to help."
Why it matters: the presenter said the system will help the organization track resources and referrals during its busy season, which the speaker emphasized as a time when coordinated information can speed help to residents.

What’s next: no formal direction or referral related to the tool was recorded in the transcript; the presenter encouraged staff and council members to refer residents to Natalie or to the presenter for assistance.
