ATTACHMENT F An Annotated History of the Prince of Peace Interim Sacred Settlement 2 The RV remained on the south lot until late September or early October, when it was moved to storage and Valerie acquired a minivan which was then parked in the church parking lot. Sept. 27, 2022 I invited Gabrielle Clowdus to a meeting to discuss how Settle’s model for community- first housing might be something for our Affordable Housing Team to explore more closely. While open to such a discussion, Gabrielle wanted to address a more immediate concern, focusing on the more pressing reality that Valerie’s RV or minivan were not suitable accommodation for the coming winter. Gabrielle indicated that Settled was in possession of additional tiny homes, destined for future a Sacred Settlement but with an uncertain location or timeline. She affirmed that Valerie was a likely candidate to become a resident of such a future settlement. Gabrielle asked us to consider providing Valerie a location on our property for the winterized tiny home, which would likely remain her home and move with her to some future settlement location. Gabrielle also indicated that, in keeping with the community-first housing model, a second RV could be made available and co-located with Valerie to accommodate a “missional intentional neighbor” that help to surround Valerie with the elements of supportive community that help to address the challenges experienced by those coming out of chronic homelessness. I brought forward this proposition to our staff and key leaders, including Congregation President Michael Stetzler. Oct. 5, 2022 I met in my office with Cari McCollor during which I updated her on the developing proposal from Settled to upgrade Valerie’s accommodations utilizing the RV/tiny homes.I also invited Cari to speak to the congregation on Oct. 16 to offer a description of her work and the state of homelessness in Roseville. Michael Stetzler convened a meeting of the Affordable Housing Team to review the proposal and consider how it might work alongside the Team’s goals for serving the community.Ultimately, they encouraged Michael and I to share the idea more broadly with the congregation to gauge support. We produced a few communiques that were sent out. Oct. 9, 2022 Michael made a short presentation to the congregation at both morning worship services. There was consistent and broad-based support within the congregation for this Interim Sacred Settlement to be placed on our property until such time as the next permanent sacred settlement location was prepared for occupancy. Oct. 11, 2022 Michael re-convened the Affordable Housing Team who drafted an endorsement of the proposal and forwarded it to the Congregation Council their consideration.
