Cover Letter to the Collaborative Pilot Initiative on Homelessness <br />March 16, 2015 <br />Page 2 <br />to tying to curb the cycle of homelessness. It proposes however to see if better collaborative efforts <br />can be made among all such agencies, which may benefit even more individuals. <br />It should be noted that each year, an annual count of homeless persons is to be conducted according <br />to HUD guidelines. On January 28, 2015 the 2015 Point -in -Time Homeless Count took place, <br />with information being made available later this year. HUD's summary for 2014 addressing the <br />"Housing Inventory Count Report" attached and sets forth information on the Continuum of Care <br />for South Bend/Mishawaka/St. Joseph County (2 pages). The next 3 -page attachment is the HUD <br />2014 Homeless Populations and Subpopulations for the State of Indiana along with a comparison <br />of homelessness in each of the fifty (50) states from 2007 — 2014. Immediately after the <br />"Emergency Shelter List by County" in the State of Indiana. <br />The final document attached are pages 45 -47 from the "Housing and Community Development <br />Fifth year Action Plan (2014)" specifically addressing "Homeless and Other Special Needs <br />Activities ". <br />Much discussion and collaboration needs to take place on this topic. I therefore recommend that <br />this Bill be sent to the Council's Community Relations Committee for detailed review so that it <br />will be a "win /win" for all residents of our community.
