Conversations are ongoing with Green County Healthy Coalition, SSM Health and Greene County Human Services.
A board member asked for updates on shelter planning discussed at the November meeting. Administrator Rindy said there were ongoing conversations and outreach during recent cold weather and that "the hardest part really comes down to even just management of such facility." Rindy noted follow-up conversations from a recent Green County Healthy Coalition workshop and potential partnerships with SSM Health and Greene County Human Services, but said nothing concrete had yet been finalized.
Board members did not take action during the meeting; Rindy encouraged continued communication among stakeholders and indicated staff would report back if a viable plan emerged.
