SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2019-02-27 | 6 | Public Works has ordered the parts for the parking meters that will collect donations and sponsorships to support programs and services for Alameda's homeless. Installation will start in April with the program launch around May. The Warming Shelter has been a great resource for the homeless this winter given the number of rainy and cold days we have had this season. Attendance has been averaging about 20 people. The Dine and Connect dinner for the homeless held monthly at Immanuel Lutheran Church has been highly successful, attracting 40-60 clients. It has become a community gathering. 5-D Fonstein provided an update on the Census 2020 and announced that the Mayor is establishing a local Complete Count Committee for Alameda. A Steering Committee will be established, and local leaders will be invited to participate. The Mayor would like the Complete Count Committee to be a community effort. In addition to the Steering Committee, which will be the leadership, several subcommittees will be established where community members will be invited to participate, especially those who are connected to groups and populations that are considered "hard to count." Fonstein is also attending subcommittees established by the County's Complete Count Committee. Some members of the Board will be invited to serve on the Steering Committee. 6.
