Report out topics from this discussion included: 

• It’s critical that we focus on systemic and institutional racial and other inequities.
• It’s not just zip code. Zip code is just one of the issues involved.
• Address access to broadband.
• Address ground, air, and water quality.
• In housing, it’s not just about affordability but it’s also quality and accessibility.
• Ensure that our process incorporates lived experience and sharing the power.
• Not just focus on deficiencies but assets and capabilities that encourage resiliency.
• Maintain a focus on trauma informed.
• With regards to the Thomson scenario, we looked at the issue of no wrong door. There are too many places that the Thomson’s have to go to receive help and support. Rather than having to complete a lengthy intake application, we should focus on what do they want, what do they need, and what are they hoping for.
• The Thomson’s need a single connector/navigator and this role needs to be funded (e.g., similar to case management funding by Medicare/Medicaid)
• `Provider compliance with regulatory and funding requirements may be an obstacle that needs review
• We need to break down silos!
