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