Major Changes
•In February 2024, we expanded the single shelter program at the HRC by
32 beds. A total of 378 unique individuals have been served since that
date.
•Since taking over Day Services in July DHNP served over 800 unique
individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Case management
has resulted in over 140 individuals connecting to shelter, with 30
individuals connected to permanent housing and 20 individuals securing
ID documents.
•Housing Choice Voucher program implemented small area fair market
rent increases to help with affordability in January 2025.
6
•Conversion of Two Long-Term Contracted Manpower Positions - the
positions will provide case management and support services to
households which are experiencing homelessness. This conversion will
assist with lowering the high turnover in contracted positions.
Initiatives Underway and Conclusion

cleared 100 encampments. 20 individuals
transitioned to shelter.
•Approval of Attainable Workforce Performance
Grant Ordinance April 1, 2025
