Homelessness response and PSAT team results

Summary

The city's homeless outreach teams made over 7,300 contacts last year but only 241 people accepted services, a decline officials attribute partly to substance abuse. New tools include Care Court petitions by outreach workers, motel conversions for senior housing, and a master leasing program, with the Heiland campus adding shelter and transitional housing.
