She referred to 40 the last page of the information, the Homeless Systems Map (Attachment 4), and said she 41 would like to focus on this page tonight. 42 Corey Root said this map contains a great deal of information. She said there are 43 different paths through the system, depending on a person's need; such as being at risk of 44 homelessness, newly homeless, and long-term homelessness. She said the goal for everyone 45 is to secure permanent housing as quickly as possible. 46 Corey Root highlighted the three areas of the map: Green - at risk of homelessness; 47 Yellow- currently homeless; and Purple - stable housing. She said this map also conveys all of 48 the different players in Orange County that are working to end homelessness. 49 Corey Root said OC Connect is the coordinated entry system and is an initiative that 50 seeks to systemize the way people enter, are assessed, and referred for homeless services.
