Discussion that happened at the meeting regarding these changes: Decreased Points for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) from 20 to 15 to reflect local CoC Priorities

1. Rapid Rehousing (RRH) is easier than Shelter + Care to match up to persons as there is a lower threshold.
2. Service availability as well as the inability to ‘lease up’ for Rapid Rehousing is lacking making it hard to use currently.
