Neighborhood Advisory Council
About NAC
Shelter the Homeless (STH) supports a standing Neighborhood Advisory Council (NAC) to serve as the primary platform for ongoing neighborhood and HRC communications. This group includes HRC staff, city staff, and representatives from the surrounding neighborhood. The purpose of this council will be to offer recommendations on how to become better neighbors, address the impacts of the HRCs within the immediate community, and to inform neighboring businesses, residents, and HRC clients about available resources for clients and neighbors to overcome challenges.

Meeting Structure
Publicly advertised quarterly meetings with the Neighborhood Advisory Council will be organized by STH in consultation with the HRC operator. The agenda will specify the goals of the meeting, provide an opportunity for reporting, and will focus on having a respectful and solution-oriented exchange.
Rules of Decorum and Engagement
The meeting will be managed by rules of decorum to provide clear expectations for the behavior of all participants and to provide clear notice of the consequences for failure to adhere to these expectations. STH, in consultation with the Appointed Members, may determine that a participant is violating the Rules and may remove the individual from the meeting, limit that individual’s participation moving forward, and for repeated violations and/or egregious behavior, a participant may be prohibited permanently. Rules are as follows:
- Listen to the speaker and avoid interrupting others as reports are delivered
- Respect each other’s differing thoughts or opinions
- For virtual meetings, mute yourself unless you're talking, keep your video on if you feel comfortable doing so, and use the chat feature for questions
- Refrain from vulgar and aggressive language
- Respect the safety and privacy of HRC clients
- Engage with council members outside of NAC meetings as an additional avenue to continue community participation and address concerns
- Summarize key takeaways at the end of the meeting for clarity
