The budget for emergency housing covers real estate, staff, food, social services, and maintenance and is categorized by families with children, single adults, and adult families.

  • The majority of shelters are contracted, with the budget covering all necessary aspects of operation.
  • The contract budget is inclusive, covering real estate, staffing, food, social services, and maintenance.
  • Budgets are categorized by types of occupants: families with children, single adults, and adult families.
  • Individual contracts have line item budgets, detailing specific expenditures.

The remaining 1,300,000,000 DHS contract budget provides service to homeless individuals.

Such as emergency housing, outreach, food counseling, medical aid, and other support is needed.

What is the total that is being directed to emergency housing?

And is this outlined by intended use land procurement or facility upgrades?

So the the vast majority of our shelters are contracted, and the contract budget is inclusive of the real estate, the staff, the food, the social services, maintenance, the the entire thing.

Right?

So individual contracts have line item budgets, but the city's budget is broken out.
