Strengthening CABs Sandra Targett Kimberly Yetman Dawson
AGENDA • Note taker • Review CAB mission • Background • CAB Struggles • Suggestions • Discussion • Next steps
CAB MANDATE: • Creating housing stability • Ending homelessness
BACKGROUND • 61 HPS designated communities in Canada • St. John’s CAB fulltime staff for 10 years – Bruce Pearce • 11 rural CABs in NL all at various stages of development • 8 community plans • No CAB staff support
CAB STRUGGLES • Government and NLHHN expectations • Limited capacity • Lack of communication • Understanding collaboration • Geography • Getting right people to the table • Identified need for data but no capacity
SOME SUGGESTIONS - PRACTICAL • Review terms of reference – especially with new members • Network can make request to SLP to identify staff to sit on CABs & determine their role • Network & government help with data
SOME SUGGESTIONS - PHILOSOPHICAL • CAB is not responsible for community plan implementation • Do what you can & don’t compare • It’s ok to say no! • Realize there is always more to be done
