Tuesday, 8 February
Our panel discussion was moved to the 24th of this month, a fact which bought me more time to find a new location, but it seems I can't move fast enough to book a suitable venue. It's ridiculously difficult to book a conference room in NYC on the cheap. I should become less-shy about shamelessly asking for the room at a reduced, tax-rebate rate (for the providers), but I'm a work in progress.
I also spend a good part of the day collecting data for the Advocate's meeting with fellow homeless service providers and advocates*.
As usual, I turned in an 8-hour day.
*the name of which must be left anonymous; the Partnership receives the majority of it's funding from the City of New York. As such, we try not to yell at the City whenever possible because we don't want to lose valuable funding and a respectful relationsihp. Our Advocate, however, as part of her job, must maintain a relationship with other, more outspoken homeless advocacy groups in the city, whose funding (I presume) is not very strongly tied to the City.
