+ Dellini can help make a presentation that explains the difference between SMIS and the program we're developing

# SHelter Interview notes
+ many Respite sites don't track people coming in

# Should we change our focus to just headcounts?
+ St. Felix does bi hourly headcounts to make sure they are under building capacity
+ Workers at Sistering usually have a good estimate of how many people are in the biulding

# New plan?
+ Making easier referrals seems to be a commonly requested feature from staff
+ Most locations do headcounts more often than they update SMIS
+ contacting central intake and SSHA is a huge painpoint for shelter staff

# Sistering Headcount
+ go around and physically count
+ staff would know most folks, many regulars, would call them by name.

# Action Items
+ building repour with shelter staff seems to be going well :D
+ Should talk to CG about current intake and headcount strategies at city shelters
