Support the group's transition to a new format modeled afer the Clallam County Shelter Provider Network. ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS: At the November 20, 2012 meeting of the HAPN Committee members unanimously voted to support the group's transition to a new format modeled after the Clallam County Shelter Provider Network. Given the City and County's budgetary constraints, it is anticipated that staff s ability to support the board will be reduced. HAPN members were asked for creative solutions. Pam Tietz of the Peninsula Housing Authority described the Shelter Provider Network of Clallam County. She believes it would be a good model for the housing providers in Jefferson County to emulate. The group is open to all, not by government appointment. Pam Tietz and Kathy Wahto of the Serenity House co-chair the group. Several members of HAPN familiar with SPN agreed with Pam's assessment. The benefits of the Shelter Provider Network include: 1. Addressing the full range of housing needs in Jefferson County (from homelessness to homeownership) without limitations of politics, staff time or legislative direction 2. Creating a cooperative group open to more membership than the HAPN establishing resolution provides and formal appointment not needed 3. Providing greater opportunity to regionalize our efforts with the Clallam Shelter Provider Network given some of the members in common 4. Reducing competition for grants given they will prioritize projects as a group and support grant applications as a group. The Clallam SPN is well respected from a statewide funding perspective. Consent Agenda 5. Allow City/County staff to participate without expending large amounts of time and expense on noticing and administrative work. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Resolution Terminating the Housing Action Plan network Committee (HAPN) and directing staff to assist in the transition to a Shelter Providers Network model. 2.
