The commission voted to ask the City Council to advocate for reinstating a California 'homeless hiring' tax credit, after public commenters with lived experience urged action and staff offered to research whether the request fits the city's legislative platform.

Commissioners agreed to develop an advocacy plan and to use a February meeting with the city manager to ask focused questions about housing strategy (including Homekey/Homekey Plus), services like lockers and mobile showers, subcommittees, and alignment with the city council’s priorities.
