Homeless Services Advisory Committee - Aug 5, 2026
A $50,000 pilot hygiene project funded through the Mayor's Fund is headed to the Mayor and City Council. It needs sign-off from multiple city departments before it can launch.
Homeless Services Policy Subcommittee - Jul 27, 2026
A $50,000 pilot to provide overnight toilet and water services for people experiencing homelessness. The subcommittee kept the proposal flexible on location so staff can find what actually works, and it now heads to the full HSAC before going through city review.
Homeless Services Mayor's Fund Subcommittee - Jun 8, 2026
A six-month pilot to provide restroom and hygiene access for unhoused residents is headed to the City Manager and City Council, but members insist it use existing city-owned restrooms with attendants instead of portable toilets — framing hygiene as a matter of dignity.

Homeless Services Policy Subcommittee - May 11, 2026
Federal, state, and county cuts mean no new homeless programs this year — the mobile shower truck is shelved. The subcommittee is pivoting to a six-month, up-to-$50,000 pilot for an overnight toilet and hydration station downtown, or opening existing city bathrooms overnight with security.
