The board of supervisors discussed updates of the different initiatives aimed to help find a bed for homeless people.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Pima County Board of Supervisors discussed an update on the county's initiatives aimed to address homelessness today during the regular meeting.
"It's a way to triage people, those with the highest need to be triaged first," Tom Litwicki, Old Pueblo Community Services' CEO, said. "What happens is then they send this list of names out to different agencies." "We have someone in front of us that has really high need," he said."And they're with us right now, and we could provide that service, but we can't because we have to wait for the coordinated entry process.
"So at the end of the day, we have to look at other systems to see how we can address these issues," Holmes said.
