USICH is excited to announce that we have launched an official U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness blog. The new blog will feature a more personal look at the work we do as an agency and will keep readers posted on national efforts to end homelessness. The USICH blog will also feature guest bloggers who are leaders in the field. We already have four interesting blog posts up:

• USICH's Barbara Poppe on her experience in the field on this year's annual Point-in-Time count   
• USICH's Jennifer Ho on rural and frontier homelessness   
• Corporation for Supportive Housing's Director of Innovations Richard Cho on the future of Housing First 
• Director of Insite Housing Solutions Janice Elliot with Five Tips for Effective Local Plans to End Homelessness

Veteran homelessness declined by 12% between 2010 and 2011. In order to build on this momentum and achieve the goal of ending Veteran homelessness by 2015, USICH is calling on communities to develop a Veteran-centric approach that uses all the available resources to help our Veterans. USICH is hosting a webinar to share advice from successful efforts on how to develop a comprehensive approach that effectively brings the resources available to Veterans in need to improve housing and life outcomes.

Panelists include:

• USICH Executive Director Barbara Poppe
• Veterans Health Administration's National Director of Homeless Programs Lisa Pape
• Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness' Executive Director Joan Serviss
• A leader from the field on coordinating a local response to Veteran Homelessness
