Completed Plans: 213
Plans in Development: Over 130
The development of local ten years plans began in 2000 when the National Alliance to End Homelessness announced A Plan, Not A Dream: How to End Homelessness in Ten Years. The Alliance’s Ten Year Plan focuses on using data to plan for outcomes, closing the front door to homelessness through prevention programs, and opening the back door out of homeless by rapidly re-housing individuals and families. Finally, it calls for building an infrastructure by increasing incomes, expanding affordable housing, and helping individuals and families access needed services. Since the National Alliance to End Homelessness’ announcement in 2000, the concept of local planning to end homelessness has taken root and hundreds of communities have committed to ending homelessness by dramatically transforming their homeless assistance systems. Each community commitment starts with a plan that outlines a framework to guide community-wide efforts. These plans are a critical component of efforts to prevent, reduce, and end homelessness nationwide.
If your community has a completed plan that is not listed on this page, please email a pdf of the plan to info@naeh.org.
