ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The focus of the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team (DCHLT) includes creating stronger community collaboration around community goals to end homelessness, better data collection and sharing, and educating and informing the community about solutions to homelessness and the community impact. The DCHLT is made up of representatives from Denton County, City of Denton, City of Lewisville, City of Sanger, board members from homelessness and housing providers, healthcare providers and members to the United Way of Denton County Board. The City of Lewisville appoints two members of the team (a council member and a city staff member/member of the community). Neighborhood Services Coordinator Ashleigh Feryan currently serves as the city staff member/member of the community. Councilmember Ronni Cade currently sits on the committee, and has asked that another council member replace her to provide a variety of representation since she also serves on the Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider an appointment to the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team.
