County reports small drop in homeless census; submits names for additional housing‑access vouchers
Summary
Social Services reported the homeless census fell from 223 to 219 and said the county submitted roughly 40 names for the latest round of housing‑access vouchers after five vouchers were awarded in an earlier round. Giselle described a mix of rental supplements and voucher reallocation as the county’s current strategy.
Acting Commissioner Giselle told the committee the county’s latest homeless census figures have edged down: “From this report, we had 223 … and we're down to 219 now,” she said. Giselle credited targeted rental‑supplement efforts and the housing‑access voucher program for part of the decline; the county originally received five vouchers and four of those placements are used or pending while one was reallocated.
Giselle said the county has submitted roughly 40 names (families and single adults) to the housing‑access portal and that vouchers are being redistributed from districts that did not use theirs. Committee members asked for follow‑up on outcomes and whether additional local supports will be needed to convert placements into stable housing.
