Item #: 11 Consideration of the 2020-21 Human Relations Commission Grants-In-aid Funding Recommendations
Dear Mayor Harmon and Council Members Gomez, Christianson, Pease and Stewart,
Transitional Food and Shelter is grateful for the recommendation of funding for our Medically Fragile Homeless program
by the Human Relations Council.
Since 2004, the behaviorally based Medically Fragile Homeless program has provided individual, studio apartments, case
management and supportive services for those who are homeless and in need of non-congregate shelter to ensure physical
recovery from surgery, illness or injury. Those who stay with us are referred by hospitals, county agencies and other
service providers when there is a medically verified need. Participants are referred for 7-90 days. In addition to housing
and assisting with basic needs, TFS works to connect those it serves to sources of income, health services and sheltered,
more permanent housing through case management and transportation to ensure access and follow through.
Although the studio apartments are located in Atascadero, the MFH program has provided its services county-wide since
it was established. This grant funding will assist in paying for the cost of one of the units and the case management so
necessary to achieve the outcomes of restoration of health, increased income and more permanent housing for the
medically fragile homeless community members of the City of San Luis Obispo.
The funding we requested and for which we are recommended is a significant amount, as is the need and we are grateful
for your support and approval of the recommendation.
Thank you,
Jan Maitzen
