LIVE CHAT: Housing First Forum
Lloyd Pendleton, former director of the Utah Homeless Task Force, will speak on the issue of homelessness and its impact on a community noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday at McLaughlin Auditorium, 1805 Sequoia St., Redding. He will stress the need for cooperation between multiple agencies in the county, city and private sector with the topic "How Utah Implemented 'Housing First' and Reduced Homelessness." The forum will be hosted by The Women's Fund of Shasta County, Record Searchlight and Shasta Community Health Center. In 2005 Pendleton and his staff drafted a plan to address Utah's chronic homelessness and after 10 years the numbers that population is down by 91 percent due, in part, to an aggressive housing first model. Join our live chat here at noon by entering a "display name" or via Twitter using #ShastaHousing. Ask questions, make comments and share links to articles you've read about finding solutions.

Pendleton: you have to find the most effective intervention and make that happen. Community may say it doesn't have resources, but it's matter of how you use what you have.
-
Pendleton: Your view will change today. We all bring bias and perspective.
-
This is the time to analyze your bias and maybe change your perspective about the homeless citizens. #ShastaHousing http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ca9b5ykVIAAYfLq.jpg

There will be conflict. But without that you won't get energy to make change.

Data shows that county has 0.03 percent of Redding's population is homeless.

Lloyd Pendleton: Welcome & engage conflict because it means you are challenging your assumptions. #ShastaHousingby Jenny Espino via twitter 2/11/2016 8:22:21 PM
-
Oops, read that wrong. We have 0.03 percent of nation's total population.
-
in 2015 Shasta County homeless count, we had 347 unsheltered homeless. That is more than half of the homeless counted.
-
In Utah, it had 226 people unsheltered in the entire state. Or 7.5 percent of its homeless population.
-
-
Utah took them out of shelter and put them into housing instead.
-
We think that's great, so no one has to be on streets: Pendleton
-
591 homeless in #Redding , 286 chronic homeless, 347 unsheltered. Makes up 0.03 % of our population #ShastaHousing http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ca9dHwzUAAA-XTq.jpg

80 percent of homeless pop. is temporarily homeless.
-
They go to the shelter, live in their car, get some help and get off streets.
-
-
Interventions are different for temp. homeless and the chronically homeless.

I analyze the numbers to see what communities need to do.
-
We have 1.2 percent of Shasta County that are homeless. That's high, he says.
