Ten Year Planning
Getting to a Ten Year Plan:
The idea behind ten year plans to end homelessness is that homelessness must be ended. Proponents of the ten year planning process advocate immediate housing, access to mainstream benefits, planning for outcomes, and overarching systematic change.
The National
Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) was an early advocate
of ten year plans. Their model has helped raise public awareness,
engage the private sector and increase philanthropic as well
as government participation in seeking solutions for homelessness.
Another advocate of the ten year plan is the United States
Interagency Council
on Homelessness (USICH), which is in the process of using
NAEH's plans and model to engage local and state elected officials.
While developing ten year plans the ICH has also advocated
for the creation of state level Interagency Councils on homelessness.
Further aiding ten year plan work, the federal
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has worked with
other concerned groups to create the Policy Academy process,
a series of national Policy Academies designed to help state
and local policymakers improve access to mainstream services
for people who are homeless. For more information on the
federal interagency Policy Academy process please see HRSA'a
website at www.hrsa.gov/homeless.
For more general information on Policy Academies please see
the complete 'Getting to a Ten Year Plan' HomeBase document
attached below, upon which the above summary is based.
HomeBase's Role in the Ten Year Planning Process:
Throughout all of the above, HomeBase has been instrumental in helping communities draft ten year plans and set up workgroups to carry out their drafted proposals; in presenting institutes, workshops, and trainings on ten year plans and nationwide best practices to end homelessness; and in providing both local and national technical assistance to communities, continua of care, and state organizations.
Most recently, at NAEH's annual conference to end homelessness, HomeBase presented an all day institute entitled 'We Promised It Wouldn't Sit on the Shelf: Local Implementation of 10-Year Plans to End Homelessness.' Materials from the institute are listed below, please browse through them for more information on ten year planning, the history of homelessness policy, and action steps/best practices currently being taken throughout the nation in the work to end homelessness.
