Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022

Background Information

The Arizona Balance of State Continuum of Care (AZBOSCOC) is responsible for planning and managing resources and services which address the various needs of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The Gila County Community Services Department has been identified by the State Continuum of Care as the local lead agency for Gila County. A Homeless Task Force was created and meets monthly with the goal to prevent and end homelessness in the geographic area of Gila County. A strategic plan has been created to set goals as part of AZBOSCOC funding guidelines.

The Gila County Homeless Task Force approved the Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022 on September 26, 2019.

Evaluation

The Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022 was approved by the Gila County Homeless Task Force. The Arizona Department of Housing would like the Gila County Board of Supervisors to acknowledge receipt of this Strategic Plan.

Conclusion

The Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022 will allow the Homeless Task Force to continue to be eligible for BOSCOC funding and move forward with the goals to reduce homelessness, coordinate entry and assessment points, and increase the availability of permanent housing in Gila County. Per requirements of the Arizona Department of Housing, the Board of Supervisors needs to acknowledge receipt of this Strategic Plan. The best way to do this is to present this topic on a Board meeting agenda so that the Board's acknowledgement of receiving the Strategic Plan is included in the Board's minutes which are a permanent record.

Recommendation

The Community Services Department Director recommends that the Board acknowledge receipt of the Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to acknowledge receipt of the Gila County Homeless Task Force Strategic Plan 2019-2022 as submitted by the Community Services Department Director and as required by the Arizona Department of Housing. (Malissa Buzan)
