Past Committees

When S3 Housing Connect was originally established, six committed were created to provide expertise and/or input on specific issues related to homelessness. Four of those original committees have ceased to meet. However, you can find archived notes by clicking double-clicking on the committee title.

Data and Metrics
The overall goal of the Data and Metrics Committee is to create a series of measurable goals and timetables to motivate and guide the plan.
The committee is tasked to utilize the NC Homeless Management Information System and possibly other data sources to develop reporting out mechanisms and a dashboard for the website. The committee is asked to determine and validate baseline numbers and draft measurable goals for review and approval by the governing body. The committee is directed to adopt the definition of homelessness by HUD for its work.

Low Barrier Shelter
The overall goal of the Low Barrier Shelter Committee is to support the establishment of a low-barrier shelter. Initially, this will mean helping to support the opening of a “white flag” shelter for the 2017-2018 winter months.
On a longer-term basis, the committee is tasked with helping identify suitable sites for a permanent, year-round shelter. The committee is expected to interact with the Service Provision Committee to ensure essential linkage between outreach, shelter, and permanent housing is reflected in the shelter operating plan. Additionally, the committee will assist and support the development of volunteer activities and needed in-kind services for shelter and work with the Community Engagement Committee to solicit such items.

Resource Development
The overall goal of the Resource Development Committee is to seek remedies to gaps in services and housing by identifying and seeking resources to meet the need. The committee is tasked to help identify and secure needed funds, both cash and in-kind, from both public and private sources.

Service Provision Committee
It is our goal to identify existing services and support for the homeless as well as gaps in those services and supports and bring those resources into a coordinated, community-wide plan. We are tasked to focus on key areas such as outreach and engagement with those experiencing unsheltered homelessness; coordinate intake and assessment; prevention and diversion; and other social services.
