Dear Sirs and Madamq
It was with prc:,'rcaund regret tI-.s::at I was unable to attend your
Board meeting at the time the Housing Report was presented.
I can only offer this notes as my s4.Ai:7f:>titute.
I very much wished to bring to your attention three primary
pertinent points, as ftea1lowsg
First, and foremost, this report addresses, ONLY
housing provided de~d forY (or funded) 4y the t;OI...ICdTY.
All other housing options for the
Nec_crobiologicall.y disabled ars: EXC:L_UDED. This
information was provided to me by the then-chair,
Vi Smith.
Second, the report casually mentions small Board
.and Cares funded by the County th•ia't, leave their
premises unsupervised. This action would be
considered a serious violation by the State?
L...i.cc::•rns:>:i.ng Agency and could result in the Board and
Carie home„5 losing it 's licensing.
Third, in reference to the dismal results of the
client satisfaction survey, I can only stress the
•far..:'t that the information applies only to housing
provided, or funded by they County.
We were emtremely disappointed •that NONE, of our over 100;
clients, had an opportunity to participate in thi._. survey.
Perhaps future Housing Reports might includes a section on
non government 'funded housing..
County Housing for the neurobiologicaI ly disabled has been
traditionally priced in the millions, resulting in minimal
out puss and low c:::I :i.esnt satisfaction. Often, the projects
are converted from filling the car^:iginial need to ra less
func.tiona.l. purpose,
Bay Are Homes Network (Btll•••N) , a private non-profit agency,
would be happy to participate in any informational sessions
to earnestly pursue quality, cost-effective housing options

for the neurobio1ogically disabled. BAHN has been involved
in developing options that work for nearly four years.
Several persons employed by the County have stated that we
need to have a County liason, or be funded by the County in
order for them to work with us. Therefore we would like
to have more information in how to get a County liason.
Who would we contact to get more information on the 100 new
specialized section 8 vouchers, targeted for this County.
We would be happy to address the Board on this subject at
your convenience should you desire more information.
Sincerely;
Frances Wage
