Other than the fact, I think, with the RAND report, you know, when it was quoted in the LA Times, they acknowledge that homelessness has gone down.”

Administrative functions are not dollar for dollar. That’s why it’s so problematic. And in terms of the stepping up for the investment, no one’s letting HMIS go. It’s not federally allowed. It also— we can’t run the homeless service system without it.”

I have a couple questions on— I know it was such good news from Meg that the city has $55 million, but y’all can’t get that money till the contract, the funder agreement’s executed, correct?”

It was, it was a great time. But one of the things I learned is that, you know, we were creating these beautiful policies based on best practices, and I had my own experiences with homelessness, but I didn’t understand how things worked on the front lines.”

Respond, uh, to the, the shortened timeline. The $700,000 is up to the amount that we recommend. So going with KPMG, that total cost proposed was for a year at $652,000. So that still falls within the cost-effective approach, if I’m not mistaken.”

And that was my, you know, that was the direction I wanted to go in. And it is, again, we have had through the single audits, I have been through a few here, and I will say some have gone really smoothly, others have been close to the deadline. And so always having that best practice is really important.”

I don’t know if it’s worth presenting that as a whole at some point, other than it seems rather futile, I know, in some ways, but just to explain to the system and the general public the, the cliff of newly emerging homelessness that will come out of this, these sets of crises.”

I understand the snapshot, but the details. This is how much we owe, this is how long we owe for each service provider and how long it’s— because this is what I’m hearing from service providers, that they’re owed money from LAHSA, all right?”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
