52 Authorization to Amend Emergency Shelter/Heat Related Respite Operator and Supportive Services Qualified Vendor List and Increase Authority (Ordinance S-50706)
Thank you for your consideration of my support for this Agenda Item. Last year we faced an unprecedented heat wave that significantly impacted our homeless community. OHS helped us with many but needs an expanded capacity to help reduce casualties from the heat. OHS methodology is sound. It has the expertise but needs expanded opportunity and resources to coordinate respite operator and support, especially among those who suffer co-morbidity that often don't access medical services.
