Membership  
a. Still currently 5 members, new faces have been attending meetings  
Site Visit  
a.Visited Trinity shelter - similar results to other site visits – overall positive responses, minimal  
constructive feedback on areas of improvement. Still at 100% insured, majority have been homeless for  
more than 2 years, medical is the most commonly used HCH service  
i. Trinity – exhaust fumes from van (smoke stack currently rerouting fumes straight up)  
ii. “1 person 1 time was a little rude and abrupt but no one is perfect. . . “  
iii. “treated us like we matter”  
HCH Feedback  
a. Rodney– got an apt text reminder while doing the site visit at Trinity, couldn’t remember what it was  
for or where it was. Knocked on the van door and Carmen gave him all the info he needed and offered  
to set him up with a ride  
b. Rick – they had set me up with all my prescriptions but someone stole my backpack so I lost them all.  
I was worried about it but HCH helped me get them all replaced right away – didn’t give me a hard  
time about it either

HCH Clinic Visit
