Provide the Flagstaff City Council and public with an overview of the impacts of COVID-19 on Flagstaff's most vulnerable community members from the perspective of three local social services providers. This presentation is informational only.

This purpose of this presentation is to provide City Council and the public an overview of the impacts of COVID-19 on Flagstaff's most vulnerable community members. Ross Schaefer Altenbaugh of Flagstaff Shelter Services, Sandra Flores of Catholic Charities and Michele Axlund of Coconino County Health and Human Services will briefly present on the impacts of COVID-19 to the vulnerable populations their agencies serve. The presentation will include information on how each agency has responded to the impacts of COVID-19 including their efforts to prevent and prepare for the Coronavirus.

Flagstaff Shelter Services, Catholic Charities, The Front Door, and Coconino County Health and Human Services are local social service agencies serving community members that are homeless, seriously mentally ill, exiting the justice system, or incarceration and/or positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the Coronavirus.  With the turning of seasons and upcoming CDBG-CV funding availability, it is important that Council be informed by local service providers about the impacts experienced as well as those anticipated by the agencies in regard to COVID-19 and the welfare of Flagstaff's most vulnerable community members.
