The roundtable will provide the District government with the opportunity to share their plan to protect the lives and address the needs of the homeless population during hypothermia season. The Winter Plan, also referred to as the “Hypothermia Plan”, reflects the District’s effort to coordinate service delivery among local agencies and providers who participate in providing hypothermia shelter to individuals and families who are homeless. The roundtable will also cover permanent supportive housing slots being lost through attrition and concerns surrounding the provision of shelter for homeless families and unaccompanied minors.
