The September 10, 2026 Lodi Committee on Homelessness (LCOH) meeting runs the standard monthly service-provider and subcommittee round — with three items that make it worth attending in person. The Community Engagement & Public Relations subcommittee is bringing an LCOH website proposal up for discussion and approval. A roundtable with Rep. Josh Harder is added under Item V, paired with a proposal to move the meeting to October 15, 2026. And a Temporary Pet Fostering Project update now appears as its own agenda item.

The packet's system-wide summary of 16 secured jobs, 21 program transitions, and 43 housing transitions in August (90 / 134 / 255 year-to-date) is labeled DRAFT-Only because HMIS client-ID de-duplication across providers is not yet complete. For August, only Lodi Access Center and Family Promise submitted client IDs — and no duplicates were found between them, the first tangible progress on the reconciliation problem the Data subcommittee has been working since July.

Underneath the routine numbers, Lodi Access Center posted its highest 20-month client volume, Hope Harbor's family shelter reported zero new family intakes because units are full, and AHLM's housing supports is not currently accepting new referrals. The City's application for CalTrans Encampment Recovery Funds — filed to help fund LAC for one year — is the funding thread most likely to resurface in the staff update.

The August 13 packet carries July 2026 activity from nine reporting bodies, the summary tables the Data Enhancement subcommittee is building, and the July 9 minutes awaiting approval. Committee-wide, July recorded 10 employment placements, 20 transitions to programs, and 21 transitions to housing.

Volume across the system held steady, but throughput did not. The Lodi Access Center's emergency shelter exit rate fell to 8.9%, below the 9.2% countywide figure and down from 14.3% in April. Chronic homelessness among LAC outreach clients continued a three-month decline to 54%. The Lodi Police Department liaison logged 50 outreach contacts and 50 resource offers with zero acceptances, and changed its RV approach from abatement to California Vehicle Code towing. Salvation Army reports every family bed full and families turned away; Lodi House reports five of ten transitional apartments vacant.

The July 9, 2026 LCOH meeting reviews June 2026 activity from six service providers and six subcommittees, features a special election for a vacant Vice Chair and COC Subcommittee Chair position, and includes a tour of the Reimagined Housing project on Main Street. Combined, reporting service providers logged well over 8,000 meals, showers, and shelter nights, along with dozens of employment placements and housing transitions across the community's homeless service network.

The Lodi Committee on Homelessness (LCOH) meets June 11, 2026 to review May 2026 reports from eight service providers and six subcommittees. The headline figure is the 2026 Point-In-Time Count, which found unsheltered individuals in San Joaquin County fell 47% (down 1,631) while sheltered individuals rose 16% since 2024. The Lodi Access Center remains the operational hub, delivering roughly 3,400 services per month and facilitating employment for 75 clients since January 2025. Key transitions include the Salvation Army leadership change (Major Pease transferring to Alameda) and Lodi House extending its transitional-housing stay limit from two to three years effective July 1.

The Lodi Committee on Homelessness (LCOH) convenes Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM in the LPD Community Room to review April service-provider activity, subcommittee progress, and major capital projects, including the Lodi Access Center (targeted completion September 30, 2026) and the recently opened 40-unit Main Street transitional housing. Agenda highlights include a pet-fostering update from Major Pease, the next committee tour selection, and follow-up on four April action items. The next meeting is June 11, 2026.

The Lodi Committee on Homelessness (LCOH) meets on April 9, 2026 at 2:30 PM in the Lodi Police Department Community Room for a data-rich session including approval of March minutes, March 2026 service provider and subcommittee reports, a City Staff update, a briefing on the Temporary Pet Fostering Initiative, and a tour of the Salvation Army Stockton Adult Rehabilitation Center.

Key themes include continued growth in Lodi Access Center (LAC) throughput and cost savings, rising senior homelessness, expanded hospital-based housing supports at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, and emerging structural concerns at Hotel Lodi, which could affect approximately 80 elderly renters if conditions worsen.

The January 2026 meeting will address critical operational updates, review service provider performance, discuss the upcoming Point-in-Time Count, and evaluate the committee's accomplishments and goals for the coming year.

The committee reviewed the minutes from the November 13, 2025 meeting, which documented several significant accomplishments and ongoing initiatives: Lodi Access Center, Hope Harbor and the Main Street Project.
