How should the County evaluate emergency-shelter need and address residents' concerns about possible locations and operations?

The report finds the County lacks a dedicated emergency shelter and recommends that the Board, HHSA, nonprofits, and the Housing Resource Partnership reevaluate the need and develop plans to mitigate concerns that ended the 2019 proposal.

Why this matters
