A Funding is included above current for a 2"d key step in
implementing the strategic plan to end homelessness, a
eentral assessment system that should ensure that all those
with a housing crisis are consistently assessed and are
matched with available resources regardless of where they
call; this enhances the Connection Point system funded
originally by Council in 2011 to provide a central calling point.

as the complexities of contracting out something that had
been done in-house for 30 years. However, that has been
accomplished and approximately 39 applicants are in various
stages of review for potential funding by VBCDC.
? City funding is continued to help avoid cuts to r;or-pecfit

? We are conducting a survet° of housing ccncliticns to provide
