Resolution - City Manager: Consider a resolution outlining that there is a homelessness issue within the city of Lubbock and supporting the formation of a local Continuum of Care. |
Item Summary |
This resolution simply acknowledges that homelessness is an issue for a portion of Lubbock's population. It also calls for the formation of a local Continuum of Care through the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD). This will allow the service providers to work together closely, as strategies to address homelessness are identified and eventually implemented. |
Fiscal Impact |
Funding for these future endeavors has been appropriated from the City of Lubbock's allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in the amount of $3,500,000. |
