Follow up to December 2, 2019 Executive Committee Action Related to CV Housing First Contact ITEM 8e Staff Report Subject: Follow Up to December 2, 2019 Executive Committee Action Related to CV Housing First Contact: Tom Cox ([email protected]) and Libby Carlson ([email protected]) Recommendation: Information only. Background: At its December 2019 meeting, the Executive Committee held extensive discussion regarding the CV Housing First program. Items identified for follow up included County monitoring reports, amendment of the grant agreement between CVAG and the County, and more information on reporting and data. The following update is staff’s response to the Executive Committee discussion. Monitoring Reports In November 2019, the City of Indian Wells City Manager filed a Public Records Act request with Riverside County Department of Public Social Services for information regarding monitoring of the DPSS agreement with CVAG for the ‘West Valley Navigation Program’ operated by Path of Life Ministries for FY18/19. After the County provided these records to the City of Indian Wells, the monitoring report was informally circulated among some elected officials prior to the November Homelessness Committee meeting. The report was also referenced during public comment by Indian Wells City Councilmember Ty Peabody with the statement that the report was not properly disclosed and needs to be read by the Homelessness Committee to make a proper evaluation of Path of Life. Note that CVAG also funded the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission in FY18/19 for the west Valley cooling centers project, but monitoring information for this organization was not included in the request from Indian Wells nor referenced in the claim from Councilmember Peabody. In response to discussion held at the Homelessness Committee meeting, the CVAG/Path of Life monitoring report, along with all proposals received in response to the CV Housing First RFP, were included with the program recommendation when it was sent to the Executive Committee in December. In the interest of maximum transparency, CVAG also asked the County provide similar monitoring reports for all organizations that responded to the RFP, with the intent of including them as well. Unfortunately, the County was unable to make these reports available prior to the Executive Committee meeting date. However, they have now been received and are included as Attachment 1 to this staff report. After reviewing all monitoring reports furnished by the County, staff continues to stand by the integrity of the proposal review process and maintains its opinion that the monitoring reports do not contain information that would have influenced the resulting recommendation. For example, although the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission report cited ‘findings’ (as opposed to ‘concerns’), it does not diminish the value of the organization’s work or preclude CVAG from entering into a contract with them again should the need arise. The driving consideration throughout the review process was whether or not proposals were responsive to the RFP and how well they aligned with the CV Housing First goal of getting homeless people off the streets and into stable housing situations as quickly as possible. Again, in the case of CVRM, their stated core competency is emergency shelter. While shelters provide an important resource to our community, emergency shelter is not a central part of the housing first model as it has a low rate of success when it comes to helping people find long term housing solutions. This table compares monitoring report outcomes for organizations that submitted proposals. ‘Concerns’ are things the reviewing agency feels should be addressed in order to strengthen a program. They do not have a negative impact on future funding requests. ‘Findings’ are issues identified that must be corrected. In the past, they have also negatively impacted future funding requests. However, starting in 2020, HUD will no longer factor in monitoring report results when evaluating funding requests. The County generally responds to HUD changes by adopting similar practices. With respect to closing out the report for CV Housing First given in FY18/19, staff continues to work closely with the County Department of Public Social Services to address any lingering concerns (Attachment 2). This includes amending the grant agreement between CVAG and the County in order to bring it up to date with the current CV Housing First program. Execution of this agreement is in progress.

  • Pansy Division
    Pansy Division Pansy Division in 2003. by Linda Rapp Promotional photograph by Richard Turtletaub. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com San Francisco-based Pansy Division, now consisting of Christopher Freeman (b. 1961), Jon Ginoli (b. 1959), Patrick Goodwin (b. 1973), and Luis Illades (b. 1974), was the first rock band entirely composed of gay musicians who sang frankly gay-themed tunes. After a productive period of recording and touring they had a fallow spell but have recently re-emerged with a new album and a more mature sound. Guitarist Jon Ginoli and bassist Chris Freeman started the band in 1991. They were accompanied by a drummer, but for the first five years the percussionists came and went with regularity. Ginoli and Freeman felt doubly marginalized: the rock world was not particularly welcoming to gays, and many in the gay community were less than enthusiastic about punk rock music. They rose to the challenge by writing music that was unabashedly gay and punk and that also showed a sense of humor. Pansy Division's first album, Undressed, which featured titles such as "Fem in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Boyfriend Wanted," appeared in 1993. Thereafter, they put out an album a year until 1998. The debut album caught the attention of another Bay Area band, Green Day, who signed them as the opening act for their concerts. The Green Day band members were not gay, but they strongly supported Pansy Division and brought them along on tour for five years. Concert audiences were sometimes hostile to the gay band, however.

  • Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: an Annotated Bibliography and Discography
    Page 1 of 35 Popular Music and Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgender People: An Annotated Bibliography and Discography. Compiled by Walt “Cat” Walker. Approved by the GLBTRT Resources Committee. Last revised January 12, 2017. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 I. General Nonfiction 3 II. Memoirs & Biographies 9 III. Fiction 32 IV. Drama 33 V. Children & Teens 34 VI. DVDs 35 Page 2 of 35 Introduction Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people have always participated in creating popular music. In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ people in the music world has increased, and more popular music has been created that openly describes the LGBTQ experience. There has also been an increase in books and films related to LGBTQ visibility in popular music, both in fiction and nonfiction. This bibliography includes resources about gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons involved in the popular music field. The books have all been published in print, and many of them may also be found as e-books. Separate sections contain memoirs, novels, plays, and children’s and teen books. Several LGBT popular music-related DVDs are also listed. Each book and DVD has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record (when available) where you can see which libraries hold the item. Most of this resource is comprised of a discography of popular music recordings by LGBTQ artists. It is not meant to be complete, but many recordings still available in CD format for each artist are listed, and several are annotated. Many of these performers’ songs can now also be found on streaming music services and online digital music websites.

  • An Ecological Approach to the Case of Queercore
    5.5. Conflicts, integration, hybridization of subcultures: An ecological approach to the case of queercore Vincenzo Romania1, Fabio Bertoni2 and David Primo3 Abstract This paper investigates the case study of queercore, providing a socio-historical analysis of its subcultural production, in the terms of what Michel Foucault has called archaeology of knowledge (1969). In particular, we will focus on: the self-definition of the movement; the conflicts between the two merged worlds of punk and queer culture; the “internal-subcultural” conflicts between both queercore and punk, and between queercore and gay\lesbian music culture; the political aspects of differentiation. In the conclusion, we will offer an innovative theoretical proposal about the interpretation of subcultures in ecological and semiotic terms, combining the contribution of the American sociologist Andrew Abbot and of the Russian semiologist Jurij Michajlovič Lotman. Keywords: queercore, theory, subcultural conflicts. 1. Introduction Since the foundational works of Hall and Jefferson (1975), Irwin (1977) and Hebdige (1979) the theorization about spectacular youth cultures has undergone a deep theoretical revision, regarding their relationship with locality, virtuality and translocality (Bennet and Petterson, 2004); the definition of actors involved in the art worlds (Becker, 1982); the production and reproduction of idiocultures (Fine, 1979; Kotarba, Fackler and Nowotny, 2009). Scarce attention has been paid to the conflicts, negotiations, hybridisations between subcultures. The very large sociological literature about these topics, despite its variety, has some common features. Firstly, it is partially or totally self-referential. While subcultural studies use macro- sociological concept to interpret subcultural phenomena and conceptual problems, very seldom this kind of literature tries to give life to a more general approach to culture, social stratification, and identity theory.
