SUBJECT: Homeless Programs
The Board received a letter dated May 17, 1989 from
CHART, expressing concerns with the cutback in the Social Service
Department' s hotline program, and requesting the Board to adopt an
emergency plan to provide housing for single individuals.
Supervisor Powers expressed concern that many single
adults are without shelter because of the closing of the armories
and the delay in establishing another shelter facility. He
suggested that the Social Service staff be authorized to issue
vouchers to single adults until such time as a shelter facility is
opened.
Board members noted that the shelter in West County is
scheduled to open on Wednesday, May 24, 1989 , and requested the
Social Service Director to assist in whatever way he can.
There being no further discussion, IT IS BY THE BOARD
ORDERED that the letter from CHART is REFERRED to the Social
Service Director.
