Development of the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness

 
Last May, the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act) reauthorized the USICH. The Act called for the USICH to deliver to Congress no later than May 20, 2010, a national strategic plan to end homelessness. To meet this requirement, USICH members and staff are developing the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.
