ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 04U-11.L CA R.DLI N A <br /> Chair Bedford asked if a space should be available at the 203 project for the cold weather <br /> shelter. <br /> Travis Myren said staff can look into that. <br /> Commissioner Richards said there was a department request for staffing at SHSC and <br /> asked why that was not included. <br /> Corey Root said there is currently a part-time employee at SHSC that acts as the first point <br /> of contact, but the request was to make this a full-time person because of the increase in the <br /> number of clients. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked year to date, what are the actuals on the number of clients <br /> and calls, etc. and what projections are close to actuals. <br /> Kelly Guadalupe said YTD, there are 7,325 clients. She said that there have been 14,150 <br /> calls, 9,672 emails,1,254 walk-ins, and 508 coordinated entries and those are combined between <br /> SHSC and Whitted. <br /> Commissioner Richards said it would be helpful to have it by location. <br /> Corey Root said it is double the number of coordinated entries from a couple of years ago. <br /> She said this means they are currently experiencing homelessness or housing in jeopardy within <br /> 2 weeks. She said that a vast majority are not at risk by the federal definition of homelessness. <br />
