Douglas County Board Of County Commissioners Business Meeting
The meeting focused on the recognition of local communities that achieved the Project Zero benchmark for identifying zero unsheltered individuals during the winter point-in-time homeless census. The Board discussed the ongoing impact and effectiveness of the Homeless Engagement Assistance and Resource Team (HART) program, which pairs law enforcement with civilian navigators to address homelessness. Participants highlighted the importance of proactive policing, community outreach, and compassionate support as key components to successfully linking individuals to essential services including mental health care, substance use treatment, and housing resources.
