At the South Welcome House above the lower market stairs, Bera Noll keeps the follow-up survey file beside a row of numbered keys hanging beside the house’s shared water board. The two details are easy to miss in a summary: one is a line in a ledger, the other is the condition that decides whether the line is useful.
Bera Noll is the housing advocate at the welcome desk. On this grain fall visit, the work begins with the key register and the waiting list for family rooms; only after the entry is checked can the crew say what the rule asks of the people below.
59 families assigned a room before their temporary bed expires were entered this cycle, compared with 56 in the prior file. The figure is one part of a longer handoff. Eni Ved checked the key register and the waiting list for family rooms against the field notes. The method is to ask who can use a service without an interpreter, sponsor or spare hour; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
The current list favors earlier arrival; advocates say it can split a household whose members reached the gate on different caravans. The current record does not settle that disagreement. Residents closest to the work describe the difference as a route, a wait or a shift that cannot be moved on a slate. Their accounts have been attached to the docket rather than folded into the total.
A public vote has approved a narrow change while leaving the larger question open. The entry belongs to the follow-up survey file at the South Welcome House above the lower market stairs. The housing table will publish the wait by household size, not only by place in line. The next visit will show whether the revision travels beyond the office that wrote it.
