CCHIC: Share Your Perspective on the 2027 City and County Budgets
Share Your Perspective on the 2027 City and County Budgets
City County Homeless Issues Committee | Monday, October 5, 5:30 p.m. | via Zoom
The City of Madison and Dane County are in the middle of budget season, and decisions made in the coming weeks will affect homeless services across Dane County. In July, the City County Homeless Issues Committee (CCHIC) hosted a listening session on budget matters related to housing and homelessness and shared its recommendations with City and County officials. The Committee will continue the budget discussion at its October meeting. If you would like to share your thoughts on this year's budget process, please join us.



How can you join the meeting and share your thoughts?


Attend the meeting

Visit https://www.cityofmadison.com/MeetingRegistration and register to speak. Select the October 5 City County Homeless Issues Committee meeting and register under Public Comments (Item #1). Public comments are heard first, so you won't need to wait through the rest of the meeting. If you prefer to speak when a specific agenda item comes up, you may select that item instead. Once registered, you will receive an email with the information needed to join the virtual meeting. You can connect using the emailed link or call in by phone (if calling, please dial in 30 minutes early so the hosts can identify you).

Please note that all attendees will be muted during the meeting. The committee staff will call your name in the order of registration, and when it's your turn to speak, you will be able to unmute. Video must remain off during public comments. Each person is allotted three minutes for public comments, though the Chair may move to extend this to five minutes, subject to committee approval.



Share your thoughts in writing

If you are unable to attend but still wish to contribute, you can send written comments to [email protected]. Your input matters, even if you can't join the meeting.

Friends, Miss Alice Howard is a longtime organizer and community activist committed to creating a healthier and safer community for our children.

Miss Howard is one of the founders of the Allied Dunn's Marsh Neigborhood Association which just celebrated its' 25th anniversary. In celebration of that milestone and in recognition of Miss Howard's tireless work in the Allied-Dunn's Marsh neighborhood, we are pleased to share that, working with the Allied-Dunn's Marsh Neighborhood Association, Allied partners and other organizations, we will be establishing an education endowment fund.

The Alice Howard Educational Endowment Fund for the Allied – Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood.

This endowment will be established through the Madison Community Foundation to support students from the Allied – Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhoods. We are in the process of rasing the $15,000 in funding required to start an endowment at MCF and are halfway to our goal.

Donations to the fund are tax deductible and can be made to:
JustDane
128 E. Olin Ave. Suite 202
Madison, WI 53713
Please put “Howard Endowment” on the memo line of the check.

Donations can also be made through the JustDane website:
www.justdane.org
If donating online, please click on “add a dedication” under the Tribute Gift section and note that the gift is in honor of the Alice Howard Endowment.

All donations are tax deductible and will be held in a restricted account until the required $15,000 is raised. At that time, the endowment fund will be opened through the Madison Community Foundation and additional donations can be made through MCF for the fund.
