Subsequently, an Executive Team of the <br /> Partnership to End Homelessness was formed to provide oversight and direction to the Plan. <br /> The Executive Team consists of a representative from the four elected bodies, the University <br /> and other community representatives. The specific role of the Executive Team is to ensure the <br /> goals, objectives, and strategies of the 10 Year Plan are being met and to also help address the <br /> inevitable challenges inherent in this ambitious initiative. Commissioner Bernadette Pelissier is <br /> the current BOCC representative Chair of the Executive Team. <br /> Each year, the Partnership produces an Annual Report to highlight its efforts to reduce the <br /> number of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This year's report will be <br /> presented by Jamie Rohe, Orange County's Homeless Coordinator. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving the Report. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the Report as <br /> information. <br />
