Yet. The meeting tonight is designed to begin a process for developing criteria by which such sites' selection would be guided. I don't know, but it's possible that City Council and County Commission will commission a task force to undertake this work, and that in the process of doing it, all of our present service-oriented housing would be mapped across the county. I'm not sure how to classify this kind of housing, but it would probably include halfway houses, emergency shelters, group homes for people with mental illness, permanent supportive housing, public housing, etc. This would give us a good idea of what parts of the community already have these kinds of resources in them, and would also show us parts of the community where they don't presently exist. The meeting tonight (Dec 11, 5pm, City County Building) is open to the public. I think it will also be broadcast on CTV. Best, Robert Ben,
