The Director said another meeting attended was the Health&Human Services Advisory <br /> Council where Housing was the topic and various speakers were brought in locally and <br /> from the State to speak about the status of Housing on the Cape. Provincetown spoke <br /> about a pian they had done to meet their housing crisis. There was a lot of discussion but <br /> there didn't seem to be many suggestions made to solve the crisis. <br /> The Director spoke about the wonderful turnout at the food drive. We had two huge carts <br /> filled and had great publicity on Facebook and an ad on the radio. She noted people were <br /> very generous and thanked Glen for delivering the food. <br /> The Director noted she has been taking training for the new town website and is working <br /> on the Human Services webpage to make it more user friendly and is updating the <br /> resource information. <br /> The Director stated all of the Human Services contracts were approved at town meeting <br /> for a 10 per cent increase. The town manager signed the contracts and they were sent out <br /> with the request the agencies send in their data with their invoice. There was a brief <br /> discussion on how the monies were allotted. The Director spoke about the cases which <br /> are now very complex and how people are lacking in very basic needs. The lack of <br /> shelter is the primary crisis. She advocates for the clients and has been having meetings <br /> with other agencies because we need to try to encourage people to get connected. She <br /> wanted to mention there are a lot of the people coming in that are homeless due to <br /> domestic violence,veterans,or young moms with children. <br /> NEXT MEETING SCHEDULE—Thursday,Junc 23,2016 @ 2:00 p.m. <br /> Motion: Mary Bradbury moved to adjourn the meeting,seconded by Lynne <br /> Waterman.
