The Homelessness Prevention & Intervention / Continuum of Care Full Board Meeting held on July 8, 2026, focused primarily on updates related to homelessness data systems, program performance, advocacy, and encampment management. Key procurement-related discussions included the rebidding and awarding of the street outreach contract to the Hope Center, which expanded its team and operating hours. Budget updates highlighted the allocation of funds for various programs, including a $300,000 reallocation from the landlord partnership program, ongoing payments for HMIS subsidies, and funding for winter shelter operations. An active RFP was noted for the operation of the upcoming winter shelter at the Versailles Road campus. The meeting also covered HUD funding updates, including the local Continuum of Care competition with a July 15 application deadline and anticipated policy changes affecting permanent supportive housing requirements. No formal votes were taken due to lack of quorum, but several action items related to funding allocations, contract awards, and policy updates were discussed.
