Council signs off on Community Connect Phase 1 assessment question changes
Summary
The Solutions Council approved updates to the Community Connect Phase 1 assessment questions to capture additional institutional involvement and other data needed to inform future prioritization under an equity and data-driven approach; staff said questions were vetted with providers and a lived-experience advisory committee.
Council staff presented and the Solutions Council approved changes to the Community Connect Phase 1 assessment questions intended to collect data needed for future changes to the coordinated-entry prioritization formula. Katie said the new questions add sub-questions about recent institutional involvement (for example, recent arrest or inpatient treatment) and were developed with providers and the lived-experience advisory committee.
"What we're asking you to vote on today is an update to the questions that are going to be included in our phase 1 assessment," Katie said, explaining the purpose is to gather the data necessary to adjust prioritization through an equity lens. Council members pressed staff on wording sensitivity and whether the phrasing had been vetted; Katie said providers, subject-matter experts and people with lived experience had reviewed the questions.
The motion to approve the question changes was made from the floor and passed as a consent vote. Staff said the changes are a first step toward a prioritization model that will incorporate vulnerabilities and institutional history rather than relying solely on time homeless.
