We dont know how many Homeless Individuals actually participate in the program. Then in addition, you may have noticed on that chart, there are a number of departments, nine i believe, that showed no homeless participants whatsoever. A problem with some of the data is they dont provide any information on the residents of their parent pa their parent participants, so we dont know if there were homeless participants and they werent reported or if they didnt have any, anyway, but they dont fill in that data in their responses to the oewd annual inventory. As i mentioned, they dont have authority to compel the department to provide the data so it leaves a question and uncertainty about the actual level of participation of Homeless Individuals. Another factor, the last one here listed on this slide is that the homeless participants are counted in a different way than some of the other priority populations for Workforce Development services. Priority populations are identified in the five ye

Its about well, thats a role that not all of us feel comfortable with now and were always constantly battling out, but it is distinct and separate from the issue of Behavioral Health. The e. M. S. 6 team, the firefighter has to come when there is a physical risk to safety. So its not just that
