11:21:32 From Alice's iPad : thanks alanna 11:21:32 From Suzy Rivera : please put the HUD update link in chat. Thank you. 11:22:22 From Lauren Pareti : Daily update from HUD on new resources available: https://www.hudexchange.info/news/covid-19-preventionand- response-for-homeless-providers-daily-resource-digest 5 11:23:30 From Lauren Pareti : Trying again to get hyperlink to work: https://www.hudexchange.info/news/covid-19-preventionand- response-for-homeless-providers-daily-resource-digest 11:24:41 From Sarah Barry : Prudence Crandall Center used the sample waiver, very easy to follow. Thank you! 11:25:00 From Alice's iPad : if anyone is wondering if they are a sub recipient of DMHAS, feel free to reach out to me 11:25:49 From Lauren Pareti : SORRY about the link. Doesn’t seem to work in the chat. It’s in the slides which are posted to the CTBOS COVID page on our website. 11:26:08 From Lauren Pareti : @Ssrah, glad it’s helpful! 11:26:09 From CW Cesario : How do we manage remote HQS inspections with DMHAS prohibition on zoom, FaceTime etc., please? 11:30:11 From Terry Nash Giovannucci : What is the reasoning behind waiving the one-year lease? 11:30:31 From Alice's iPad : I think it would be best to talk with your agency’s compliance officer and/IT for the best way to do remote inspections. 11:31:50 From Lauren Pareti : Terry, I think HUD’s intent is to maximize exit options, so if a landlord wasn’t willing to do a full 12 months with someone, they can still obtain housing. 11:31:59 From annie : Can we do anything over one month for leases…like one month and one day? 11:32:44 From Lauren Pareti : Annie, Alanna said more guidance is coming next week. Based on the info we currently have, yes, anything longer than a month is OK. 11:34:36 From Suzy Rivera : If we filed the mega waiver, do we still have to notify HUD that we would be using supportive services to pay rental and utility arrears (minor amendment) 11:38:53 From Lauren Pareti : Hi Suzy, when you notify HUD that you want to use waivers, you have to tell them which waivers you are using (see the waiver template on our website). The utility arrears item is one that you would need to indicate you are using. 11:40:16 From markjenkins : GHHRC has mobile services available Monday - Friday. We also are presently doing tele-health mobile induction to Medication Assisted Treatment from Our mobile units and 557 sites. 11:42:26 From Suzy Rivera : Hi Lauren - yes, I already filed the waiver and did that. I just meant do we have to AGAIN tell them in requesting the minor amendment 11:44:47 From Amanda Gordon : Any guidance thus far on our clients with alcohol dependence. As they are at risk of dying from withdrawal I am very concerned about how we work with this population 11:44:54 From Lauren Pareti : Suzy, Got it! If your project application budget already includes $ on the housing search and counseling line then no. If it does not, then you probably want to notify them and keep the email in your files for future monitoring purposes. 11:45:37 From markjenkins : If you have someone in need of Treatment access please feel free to give me a call directly and we will connect them to any open beds 11:45:57 From markjenkins : Mark Jenkins 860-250-4146 11:47:42 From markjenkins : Amanda I got someone a bed this morning at ICRC for alcohol dependency 11:48:32 From markjenkins : I can answer that 11:48:53 From Amanda Gordon : Only people that are asymptomatic can go into beds 11:49:30 From Bryan Flint, Sr. : By putting a "stay" on the eviction process, what will occur when they are lifted? I'm guessing rent still won't be paid during this crisis, so 1) will landlords be compensated somehow, 2) will homelessness greatly increase? 3) will existing programs that can pay arrearages, be given addt'l funds perhaps??? All new territory, keep up the great work people!! 11:50:25 From markjenkins : Some programs are doing a case by case admittance others by symptoms 11:50:51 From markjenkins : the ROOT Center is presently not doing any intakes
