For Meeting of:April 11, 2023 ITEM TITLE: Discussion on homeless issues with nonprofit partners and stakeholders SUBMITTED BY: Robert Harrison, City Manager SUMMARY EXPLANATION: As part of the City Council's roundtable conversations around downtown and First Street, we have invited several of our partners to join the Council in a roundtable conversation around homelessness and how they are contributing to solving the various challenges we are experiencing around these issues. We will have representatives from Neighborhood Health, Camp Hope, UGM, Triumph, Yakima Homeless Network and hope to have a couple more. They will be discussing what they do to address the current homeless challenges and suggestions on how they believe we, as a community, can address some of the current challenges around homelessness. As this is a roundtable conversation, this will be a free-flowing conversation rather than presentations.
