THEIR PLAN IN WHITE, OUR COMMENTS IN RED
KNOW WHO’S HOMELESS AND WHAT THEY NEED
We will know every homeless person’s name, location, and the challenges they face, so we can plan for the permanent housing and services they need to stabilize.(Our comment: Scary! United Way is coming off as a CONTROL FREAK ORG. Every person who is homeless needs to be in a UNITED WAY (or police controlled) database, but every other citizen of the United States does not, or already is? We are concerned about this. It may be like the Nazi's keeping track of the location of Jews, and then the round ups. WHAT'S NEXT? Hey is everyone aware that UNITED WAY pays for 211 and is keeping a computerized database on callers?
WHY NOT JUST KEEP NOTES ON THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE APPLIED FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE? There are thousands of people who want off the street who are willing and able to deal with applications.)

We will create access to 12,500 units of permanent supportive housing to house every chronically homeless person, and 6,000 units of affordable or supportive housing to house every non-chronically homeless veteran. They will access supportive services to help them recover and thrive in our communities.
WE KNOW PEOPLE WHO WERE NEVER HOMELESS, then went into a shelter where they were promised housing that never came through and were there YEARS. Then these people, who spent no more than a day or several weeks at cold weather shelters or sofa hopping are called CHRONICALLY HOMELESS. The definition needs a huge revamp. To us chronically homeless means someone is on the street for years.

We will ensure every homeless person can be moved quickly into permanent housing with services, and that there are few requirements or barriers to receiving this support.
We agree because we hear so much about shelter BS. BUT IS THIS JUST MAKING HOUSING SOMEONE ELSE IS PAYING FOR OR SUBSIDIZING INTO THE SHELTER? WILL PEOPLE BE REPORTING IN TO CASE MANAGERS just the same?
SHIFT TO A HOUSING FIRST SYSTEM

We want to know, does this mean homeless shelters will actually exist only as emergency housing until the United Way gets someone housing? When they say they will now every homeless persons name and location, what about Privacy? What role will the Police Play?
GET INVOLVED, INVOLVE OTHERS...
