Council approves grievance procedures, fills Barnes Trust liaison role; HMIS shows 138 housed in March
Summary
The Homelessness Planning Council approved Continuum of Care grievance procedures, appointed Angie Lawless as the liaison to the Barnes Housing Trust Fund Commission, approved February minutes, and heard an HMIS update reporting 138 people housed in March and data submission timelines for HUD reports.
The Homelessness Planning Council approved revisions to the Continuum of Care grievance procedures after a brief presentation by Alyssa, who said the update reorganizes alternative grievance-resolution methods as a separate addendum and adjusts legal language after consultation with Metro Legal. The motion to approve passed with the chair stating the "eyes have it."
The Council also voted to fill a vacancy on the Barnes Housing Trust Fund Commission by appointing Angie Lawless as the HBC liaison, confirming an earlier interim arrangement. Chair and members asked Liz to coordinate a transition and onboarding with outgoing member Lizzie Goddard.
The Council corrected and approved both March and February meeting minutes during the session.
HMIS and housing placements: HMIS staff reported March system totals of 3,849 people experiencing homelessness (broken down in the transcript as 3,23 households; staff provided more granular counts: 202 family households comprising 495 children, and 3,001 adult-only households). The system recorded 138 people housed in March (110 households: 18 family households with 23 children and 92 adult-only households). Top movers included Operation Standdown and the Nashville Rescue Mission.
Next steps: Council will continue monitoring ARPA closeout, HUD reporting (PIT and HIC due to HUD by April 30), and post-approval transitional steps for the grievance procedures and Barnes liaison.
