General Meeting Updates

TPCH General Council had quorum for this meeting and discussed many committee and coalition updates, including system changes for Coordinated Entry and an update on the Housing Central Command Initiative, launched with the implementation of five projects funded by the Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity to Address Unsheltered Homelessness (Special NOFO).

One breakout session also brainstormed new community strategies for effective discharge planning from institutions for people experiencing homelessness. This workgroup is ongoing, and those interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to tpch@tucsonaz.gov. Representatives of the justice services, healthcare, and child welfare systems are especially encouraged to participate. 

Update to the TPCH Governance Charter 

Feedback garnered from TPCH committee and board leadership has led to robust conversations about the need for our Continuum of Care to respond quickly to challenges. The Housing Central Command initiative has shown the power of making decisions in real-time based on evidence-based approaches. To ensure that committees can react to system challenges in a nimble and collaborative manner, the following motion was approved by the General Council: 

Motion: to add the following language to the TPCH Governance Charter clarifying the purpose of TPCH Committees: 

“While each committee is operating within its domain, they are able to make decisions on behalf of the CoC with the following exceptions:
a) decisions that would also impact another committee's domain, and
b) decisions with financial implications.”
