Committee asks staff for ecosystem mapping and data before recommending RFP changes
Summary
Committee prioritized an ecosystem (journey) map of homelessness services, clarified data needs and pilot metrics, and requested staff to return with departmental impact assessments and budget envelopes to enable a more informed recommendation to council.
Members asked for a series of follow‑up items intended to ground future recommendations: an ecosystem map/journey map of how people move through the homelessness response system; department‑level assessments (police, EMS, parks, recreation) of where workloads would be affected by a day center; clearer municipal budget parameters; and trimmed budget models from applicants.
The chair emphasized the process will take time and that the committee should request what it needs rather than rush to a recommendation: "If we want this done right, it needs to take it's going to take time." Staff were asked to prepare a short list of specific data points and an expected turnaround time so the committee could plan a substantive follow‑up meeting focusing on the RFP and service design.
