USICH Releases New Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness

Last week, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) released "Home, Together" — its third federal strategic plan on preventing and ending homelessness. This Fiscal Year 2018 – 2022 plan builds upon what USICH and its 19 federal agency members have learned from states and communities over time and lays out strategies for federal action to support and accelerate state and local progress. "Home, Together" outlines efforts to expand affordable and accessible housing opportunities, address the unique needs of rural communities, strengthen prevention and diversion practices, create solutions for unsheltered homeless persons, and help people who exit homelessness to find employment success.
