Summary

City staff told the board the "Better Together" community conversations on homelessness have begun and reported 240 people counted in the city's most recent point-in-time count, with 182 in temporary housing and 58 unsheltered.

A city staff member updated the board on the city's Better Together initiative, a consultant-led set of community conversations about homelessness that the transcript says will continue through June and likely into July. The staff said there had been a contractual legal-review delay with the consultant but that conversations are now under way with multiple stakeholders.

The same staff speaker reported the city's point-in-time homeless count: "City of McKinney, there were a total of 240 individuals counted." The staff also provided a year-over-year comparison, noting an increase from 213 in 2025 and giving a breakdown of 182 individuals in temporary housing and 58 unsheltered. The board received the update during the staff reports portion of the meeting; no formal action followed in open session.
