| Campaign to End Child Homelessness Supports Legislation to Establish an Interagency Council on Homelessness in California.
 The National Center on Family Homelessness and the Campaign to End Child Homelessness are pleased to endorse California Assembly Bill 1177, which would establish an Interagency Council on Homelessness in California. The establishment of an Interagency Council is an important step in demonstrating the state's commitment to ending homelessness and will help to encourage collaboration between the ten California agencies administering programs affecting people who are homeless. The approval and implementation of a California Interagency Council would contribute significantly towards the fight to end child homelessness in the state. Thank you to Assemblymember Paul Fong for introducing this important initiative. The Campaign eagerly anticipates the passage of this resolution! Learn more about Assembly Bill 1177.
