MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Rodney Gonzales, Assistant City Manager DATE: October 14, 2019 SUBJECT: Update on Homelessness Initiatives This memorandum is a continuation of updates on cross-departmental initiatives to address issues surrounding homelessness. Priority Area Framework There are many City departments providing a variety of programs and services . As previously described, the Homeless Strategy Office (HSO) will serve as a hub for cross-departmental efforts underway. As part of the coordination of these efforts, there will be a delineation of priority area functions under which programs and services will fall. For each priority area function, a lead department will be assigned as the responsible party for convening programs and services within the function. The Homeless Strategy Office will serve as the overall Convening Lead for City programs and services. Although Lori Pampilo Harris, will be transitioning to a consulting role, she will continue to guide us in matters surrounding homelessness. Lori's expertise in designing high-functioning outreach systems and diversion services programs will contribute to our collective efforts to assist people experiencing homelessness. 1
