Ms. Pavlik explained that Resolution 2020-19 will allow an amendment to the 2018 Annual Action Plan to permit Flagstaff Shelter Services (FSS) to provide infectious disease services in place of employment services. Councilmember Whelan asked if there is a possibility that the funding would be reimbursed by the State or Federal governments so FSS can get back to the employment piece. Housing Director Sarah Darr explained that it is not typical for those funds to be reimbursed, however there will be additional funds coming into the community and Council can reallocate those as needed. Ms. Altenbaugh stated that they are working to move people into the two hotel spaces because they are unable to be in adherence with the CDC guidelines for social distancing. The biggest push is prevention and getting people into safe spaces before they get sick. |
