Previous Action Taken
Summary Explanation/Background
District 1 office has remaining Fiscal Year 2021 budgeted funds that it would like to use to support the organizations or purposes listed in motions A-D. The organizations listed in motions A-D work tirelessly to assist Broward County residents and the public generally, and it is District 1’s goal to further their respective missions through these proposed agreements.
MOTION C. In 2021, the Homeless Initiative Partnership successfully secured an exclusive Multiple Listing Site (MLS) for the Homeless Continuum of Care providers. The MLS has proven to be an invaluable tool but there is more to do. HIP’s goal for 2021-2022 will be to launch an extensive marketing campaign to aggressively step-up our landlord recruitment efforts. The campaign will be designed to drive landlords to list their available properties on the MLS.
The 2021 Point In Time Count measured an increase of nearly 600 individuals experiencing homelessness in Broward County over the previous year.
