Greater Hartford Coordinated Access Network
Leadership Committee Agenda
Wednesday, October 17th, 2018


Greater Hartford Sub-COC:
1.      Point In Time Count – Zoe Schwartz
a.      HIC should be going out any day now.  Zoe received an email from HUD with a broken link.  There will be some updates to how you should be filling out the HIC.  If anyone doesn’t get it soon, let Zoe know.  We really want to get this done within the week. 

2.      Services Letters – Crane Cesario, Matt Morgan
a.      BOS COC sent out letters recently to some programs.  These letters involved planning a reduction in costs for programs that operate supportive housing.  The goal of CT BOS is to ensure that services per person capped at $7,500.
                                                    i.     This was a little bit of a surprise for the grantees in Greater Hartford who received this.  It’s a notice for 2019 renewals.  Grantees who have service budgets that needs to be reduced or explained.  

3.      Renewal Requirements for Grantees – Crane Cesario
a.      Grantees received an email and Sarah had mentioned it last meeting.  We have consumer surveys that are due. 
                                                    i.     November 30th are when surveys are due.  If you have DMHAS consumer surveys, you can do this. 
                                                   ii.     Grantees also need to pay attention to their data. 
                                                  iii.     BOS COC has sent emails about this. 
                                                  iv.     All grantees should run their data right now, because there is a deadline for the submission of help tickets. 
                                                   v.     The next CT BOS meeting is on Friday of this week. 

GH CAN Leadership Updates

4.      100 Day Campaign to House 265 Households – Emergency Shelter Learning Collaborative Participants
a.      Update from conference call?
                                                    i.     National Alliance hosted a conference call last week, and also offered individual calls to everyone. 
1.      The YWCA and McKinney are both on track to meet their bold goal.  Open Hearth is also making some bold strides. 
2.      Crane asked about what sorts of housing resources are a higher priority for our community to develop right now – would it be preferable to have family PSH programs.  Rapid ReHousing.
a.      Mollie and Lisa, talk to Crane about how to use these openings


5.      Governor’s Challenge to End Family Homelessness – Family Service Providers

6.      Cold Weather Updates – Salvation Army

a.      The City still has not executed a contract for cold weather.  They’re keeping Salv Army up to date as much as possible. 
b.      We are planning for a Dec 1 start for both the warming center and the winter overflow.  Maybe this year we can more proactively lobby. 
                                                    i.     We are hoping to really identify some churches to step in to help accommodate families in our system.  
                                                   ii.     The other big ask is we want to get more programming at the warming center.  We would love to have people in to spend time with people.  8-9PM would be an ideal time to have folks around. 
                                                  iii.     Crane suggested that the mayor help us talk to mayors or selectmen.  No other towns are operating their warming center. 
                                                  iv.     The next meeting will be on Monday October 22nd.
