IV. Discussion of Housing and Placement Recommendations

There was discussion about the Housing and Placement Recommendations with the following suggestions:

• Include language about ethical use of data, if it is being collected
• Nuances of TAY and “non-minor dependent” à is there the possibility of saying “minor dependent” instead of “female identifying minor?”
  • The gendered distinction for minors is a legal distinction, there is no co-ed housing for minors, unless it is a psych treatment center
  • Adding a new priority à “female identified” will be a next year goal?
•  Include information that this document should be reevaluated yearly to support the changing needs of the community

 

The group then broke up into the 3 workgroups for Housing and Placement, Prevention, and Employment.
