Butte Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care meeting:
Seemed like a good idea to attend a meeting of the group that hands out millions of HUD money to address our shelter crisis and since we are members...
We sat through: The Approval of the Minutes. The Behavioral Health Services update: they're doing OK, and they're doing a lot of good work. And...
The review of the 10 Year Strategy to End Homelessness Update. During which one of our NSST representatives got to raise his hand and remind 'em: The number of elderly homeless is expected to triple in the next 5 years! We need all the alternative shelter options we can get going now! Write the Chico City Council to support the NSST Safe Spot Community Proposal now!
