RSVP: If attending in person, click here We are honored to host a timely and critical conversation about data retention as it relates to undocumented persons who seek homeless services. Given recent changes in the national climate, and media coverage of troubling arrests outside shelters, many agencies and community partners share concerns about responsibility to clients, their privacy and safety, as well as responsibility to respond to official inquiries, and the role that data plays in ensuring, or threatening, safety.With both a national and local lens, this Lunch & Learn will feature panelists from organizations long dedicated to persons and families experiencing homelessness: the National Human Services Data Consortium (NHSDC) - who provides legal and technical expertise nationally - and St. Stephen's Human Services - who has implemented data retention and response practices in Hennepin County.Jason Satterfield from NHSDC will present the national landscape, key legal issues surrounding immigration and data retention, and share practices from communities around county. Heather Wilmot LeMay and Stephanie Zadora from St. Stephens will share their experience developing and implementing an agency protocol to respond to outside data inquiries.
