He said the BOCC had talked about putting more money 40 toward these efforts, and he is open to trying to find monies for these low hanging fruits. He 41 asked if there are highest priority items, in the mission to eliminate homelessness, or is the 42 number they need too high. 43 Emila Sutton said right now, some of those gaps are going to be filled from funds 44 from the Cares Act, and staff will need to reassess their priorities once this funding comes 45 down. She said staff is waiting for some grant funding, and is working with the Criminal 46 Justice Resource Department on filling some gaps. 47 Commissioner Dorosin suggested she do this, and come back to the Board. He said 48 the BOCC was in favor of allocating more funds into these programs, as well as some of the 49 other partners with the PTEH. He said the gaps seemed attainable to fill, and would have 50 significant impact. He said he would hate to lose momentum.
