Public Health & Community Services budget and new homelessness positions
Bangor
Summary
The health department is asking the city to keep funding a Housing Support Navigator ($56,000) and a Homeless Response Coordinator ($62,000) as grant money runs out — the navigator program kept 91 of 107 people housed in its first year. Gunderman also flagged a community paramedicine program going for licensure and a possible cost-neutral expansion in the fall.

Impact analysis
About $118,000 in ongoing city costs for the two positions would be new if approved.
Newly housed and homeless residents who need help staying housed, plus landlords and service providers who get a coordinated contact.
None identified, though taxpayers would absorb the ongoing cost once grants end.
