THIS ITEM IS FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION. Background The City of Phoenix spends almost $20 million annually for services related to homeless solutions across several city departments including Housing, Human Services, Neighborhood Services, Police, Public Works and Street Transportation. Phoenix also annually dedicates over $4 million of that $20 million for services such as homeless outreach/engagement, veteran navigation, emergency shelter, rent/utility deposit assistance, wrap-around support and permanent supportive housing for those experiencing homelessness through community-based providers. On April 21, 2020, the City Council approved using COVID Emergency Solutions CARES Act funds to mitigate the impact of individuals experiencing homelessness in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over $9 million was dedicated to the following services for seniors/medically vulnerable individuals, single men/women, families and youth: emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, case management. Additionally, on June 24, 2020, the City Council approved $750,000 for heat relief efforts for the Day Respite Center located at the Phoenix Convention Center and shade structures for St. Vincent de Paul and Justa Center. Summary On June 23, 2020, staff presented to City Council the Strategies to Address Homelessness plan. At this meeting, Council approved the plan and further directed staff to engage the community to hear feedback and get input as to the plan and additional areas that might need to be incorporated. Staff developed three types of opportunities to provide feedback to overcome the limitations COVID-19 has imposed: Virtual meetings, online and paper surveys for the Page 4 of 218 Agenda Date: 9/30/2020, Item No. 1 community and those experiencing homelessness, and an informational website. Additionally, many individuals sent emails, and spoke directly to staff, outlining their perspective and strategies for addressing homelessness in Phoenix. Virtual meetings were held between July 23 and September 4. Marketing efforts for the public meetings were accomplished through Council newsletters, various City listserv email lists, social media, as well as publicizing meetings on the City's public meeting notification system. Through the 22 meetings conducted by staff, over 700 people attended and more than 2,200 comments were received. Also during the outreach process, 3,700 comments from the 2,570 surveys were received, as well as 52 emails. At each public meeting, Spanish interpretation was available. Meetings were also held with organizations that provide services to the homeless population, neighborhood associations, and at the Phoenix Heat Respite Center where 100 individuals experiencing homelessness were able to provide feedback on the plan (Attachment A and B). Key themes noted, and areas that needed enhancement in the current plan include: · Affordable housing options, including tiny homes. · Mental health and substance abuse services. · Regional and non-profit partnerships. · Considerations for specific populations of individuals experiencing homelessness (Youth, Seniors etc.) · How will the plan recommendations be funded. · How success will be measured. · Consideration of other community models for engaging with individuals experiencing homelessness. · Do not criminalize or stigmatize those experiencing homelessness. · Clarification and emphasis on the Neighborhoods Section strategies to address safety and blight concerns. · Consider additional court diversion models to provide more opportunities for people experiencing homelessness to access services and avoid barriers to recovery. Responsible Department This item is submitted by Deputy City Manager Inger Erickson and the Human Services Department.

They are in many 1.1 instances partners. 3 Action column in which you tell residents what has been accomplished 4 Add in mental health. Homeless people become homeless for many reasons and you need to help them in all situations 5 Add measures of success and 5-year-plan with goals 6 Add Outreach contracts to be awarded to MAT providers who regularly outreach and treat this population 7 Add rent control so landlords cannot keep increasing our rents far above any possible wage increases. 8 Add that the proposed additional housing options not encroach upon or damage the quality of living in established residential neighborhoods 9 Add what measures will be used to determine success, failure and finally sunset date that plan was met as well as % budget of each subsection from overall budget with overall budget known to public 10 ADD: 1. Survey unsheltered people to see what their priorities are for assistance. 2. Identify criminals who are part of unsheltered population and arrest them. 3. Identify approaches to successfully addressing unsheltered people used in other cities, states, countries, and create pilot programs to see if they would work here 11 Add: increase availability of drug addiction services. 12 Added: In the homeless community, as you know, people with sex offenses on their record are probably the most marginalized within the homeless community itself, and these folks struggle the most to get work and housing. Targeted outreach efforts, shelter beds, and housing strategies are needed particularly for this group. 13 Added: increased services for those transitioning from jail or prison into the real world 14 Adding a section addressing substance use disorder resources to help the homeless population that struggles with addiction 15 One thing only: After conducting a life skill set of the 7,000+ homeless population camping in the city of Phoenix, organize them into brigades with the understanding that they are in charge of their future. Assign ground-level, supervisor, and captain roles for those overseeing groups of 10, 100, and 1,000. Give these leaders the ability to get matched with low-cost housing initiatives, with onsite one-year residential contracts renewable every January, and zero tolerance for drug use and promotion.

It is cumulative and periodically published. INDEX The index indicates the subject of each bill, constitutional amendment, and resolution as introduced and as amended. Entries are not removed from the index when subject matter is deleted from the measure in course of passage. TABLE The table shows each section of the Constitution, codes, and uncodified laws affected by measures introduced in the Legislature. It may be used in two ways: 1. As a means of locating measures where the section of the Constitution, code, or law is known. 2. To locate measures upon a particular subject, by using a published index to the codes and laws, such as Deering’s General Index, the Larmac Consolidated Index, and West’s General Index, to locate the existing sections, and then by using this table to locate the measures which affect those sections. The table is arranged by codes and the Constitution listed in alphabeti- cal order.

    Spring Forum March 27, 2009 – Stanford Law School March 27, 2009 – Stanford Law School 1 2 Roadmap to Justice Spring Forum Table of Contents Welcome...............................................................................................5 Forum Agenda....................................................................................7 Participant Roster.............................................................................9 Co­Sponsor and Participant Biographies............................... 13 March 27, 2009 – Stanford Law School 3 4 Roadmap to Justice Spring Forum Welcome Equal justice under the law is one of America’s most proudly proclaimed and widely violated legal principles. It embellishes courthouse entries, ceremonial occasions, and an occasional constitutional decision. But it comes nowhere close to describing the justice system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to the system, let alone equal access. It is a shameful irony that our nation, which has the world’s greatest concentration of lawyers, also has one of the least adequate systems for legal assistance. It is more shameful still that the inadequacies attract so little concern. The Roadmap to Justice Project seeks to bring greater visibility and expertise to this issue. Its goal is to draw leaders in the field together to chart a national agenda for access to justice for those who need it most. Through a series of structured conversations with leading experts, we hope to develop a plausible plan for the reorganization of legal processes, ethical rules, court procedures, and pro bono programs. This forum, sponsored by the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession and the Sokolove Charitable Fund, provides a starting point for an ongoing effort to turn the tide on this increasingly significant issue. We thank you for joining us. Deborah L. Rhode James G.

    Communication from Public Name: Kendall Mayhew Date Submitted: 07/28/2019 10:36 PM Council File No: 14-1057-S8 Comments for Public Posting: I implore the council to oppose this policy that would further criminalize our unhoused neighbors. The state constitution has been upheld again and again in regards to these disgusting efforts to dehumanize vulnerable members of our community. We all have the right to exist in public spaces. Communication from Public Name: Brad Jones Date Submitted: 07/28/2019 11:11 PM Council File No: 14-1057-S8 Comments for Public Posting: I urge the city council to reinstate LAMC 85.02 - the ban on living in vehicles near schools, parks or in residential neighborhoods. Owners of vehicles are preying on the homeless; letting them stay in vehicles overnight is not the right solution to the homeless problem. Communication from Public Name: Kate Corry-Saavedra Date Submitted: 07/28/2019 11:45 PM Council File No: 14-1057-S8 Comments for Public Posting: My name is Kate Corry-Saavedra and I am a resident of Country Club Park in CD10. I strongly oppose reauthorizing LAMC 85.02 as written. In our current homelessness crisis, many Angelenos use their vehicle not only as transportation but as shelter. 85.02 criminalizes this necessary action in the VAST majority of Los Angeles. Navigating these rules is complicated and unreasonable for those experiencing homelessness. 85.02 will force individuals out of their cars into tents on the street - a more complicated situation for them and for all of us. Support our neighbors living out of their cars by voting against the reauthorization of 85.02.

But I mean what kind of medication .... Miss, I don't like to create trouble. But I don't like to swallow something without knowing what it is, neither. How do I know this isn't one of those funny pills that makes me something I'm not? - Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest I. INTRODUCTION An eleven-year-old girl from Los Angeles exhibits the normal tendencies of a preteen: she throws tantrums, is combative, and shows fear.' To be on the safe side, her mother brings her to a psychiatrist.2 The girl leaves the appointment with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a prescription for ten different psychotropic medications-a mix of antimanics, anticonvulsants, and antipsychotics.3 Her mother's choice is not an easy one.

HEART deploys alongside the public defenders to park spaces, shelters, service providers, and libraries to host mobile legal clinics – essentially bringing the Court to the streets. HEART helps participants resolve infraction citations for minor violations, such as jaywalking, having an open container, or having expired car tags. These tickets are wiped clean in exchange for service engagement with onsite resources, such as housing, benefits, drug treatment, medical care, and job training. The public defenders help participants expunge past misdemeanor and felony convictions and connect with counsel for active cases. This community engagement is funded by the LA County Board of Supervisors, which recently awarded HEART nearly $1 million dollars to conduct this innovative legal work. Last year HEART hosted 56 clinics, engaged 1,200 participants, facilitated the resolution of 1,102 cases and connected 1,112 to homeless case managers.
