EASTSIDE CAMPUS CONDO A:
Ms. Detweiler provided the overview of this project. She told the Council that this project is
sponsored by Central City Concern (CCC) and they are in the room today and can address
questions.
Councilmember Koza praised the CCC for this project and all of their other work around the
state. Councilmember Geller asked if the clients would all be referred to his project. Sean Hubert
from Central City Concern told the Council that all clients will be referred to this project and
they can also self-refer to this project? The priority is to work with referral partners first and then
the general public. The need for this type of program is extreme. This project is an expansion of
a current program being administered by CCC. Councilmember Geller and Baney both asked if
the CCC would take referrals from other areas in the state. Mr. Hubert said that could be
problematic as a good portion of the funding they receive is from the counties they are currently
serving. Their funders want their money to address concerns in their neighborhoods and not out
in other jurisdictions.
Councilmember Koza asked if there was a time block between leaving treatment and entering
housing. CCC is trying to address that “middle” place right now by having a mix of units in their
projects (25% permanent and 75% transitional).
Chair Dickson asked for a motion from the Council. Councilmember Baney made the motion
found on page 26 and Councilmember Fieldman seconded the motion. Chair Dickson then called
