Q2 updates: 

• Implemented contract with Hospitality House to provide non-congregate sheltering to reduce unsheltered homelessness among veterans, families, and chronically homeless individuals at Sierra Guest House.
• Currently, Housing and Community Services (HCS) staff provides between 30-35 hotels rooms on an ongoing basis to over 45 homeless households. The households can utilize the hotel space to better connect to services. All hotel stayers are coordinated at the Housing Resource Team (HRT) meeting. 
• Continued to provide family housing and shelter options through the CalWORKS Housing Support Program (HSP).
• Continued to contract with Community Beyond Violence for domestic violence shelter services.
• Recent completion of affordable housing projects in the Truckee region has resulted in an increase in housing placements for homeless households.
• Contract renewals are either complete or underway for emergency shelters and low barrier shelters for the 22/23 fiscal year. 

Priorities for next quarter: 

• Continue to work with family orientated service providers to expand family shelter options.
• Continue to support seasonal shelter operations to respond to increased shelter needs during extreme seasonal weather conditions including during PSPS events where risk of wildfire is severe.
• Work with shelter providers to develop a process to move shelter stayers in the final stages of their housing case plan into non-congregant options to reduce long term shelter stays and build emergency bed capacity.
