She asked how many people are on staff and how many are needed <br /> 5 to operate the shelter. <br /> 6 Blake Rosser said that they hire additional temporary staff for the cold weather shelter. <br /> 7 He said they have already exhausted the current funding for the shelter. He said that the burnout <br /> 8 is due to the continuous stretch of cold weather days. He said there is a pool of 8-9 people who <br /> 9 staff the cold weather shelter, and they have hired 2 more. He said they need 3 people each night <br /> 10 for the shelter, and the pool of employees do not want to work overnight as often as is needed <br /> 11 due to the weather. Blake Rosser said there are other organizations which are providing coverage <br /> 12 for the shelter due to exhausted staff resources. <br /> 13 Travis Myren said there will be a budget amendment on the January 21 business meeting <br /> 14 agenda to appropriate more funds for the cold weather shelter. <br /> 15 Chair Bedford said the Continuum of Care also received funding that they <br /> 16 dispersed to IFC and other non-profits. She said the leadership team makes decisions each year <br /> 17 on how those funds are spent. <br /> 18 Commissioner Carter asked how cold weather shelter guests are connected to resources <br /> 19 while staying in the shelter. <br /> 20 Blake Rosser said that is a good opportunity to connect folks with services. He said the <br /> 21 Street Outreach Team is present at the shelter and conducts coordinated interviews during intake. <br /> 22 He said this week DSS is providing resources to connect people to food stamps and getting <br /> 23 people registered for Social Security. <br />
