Background Information: 10 Year Plans

ROLE OF 10 YEAR PLANS TO END HOMELESSNESS

The National Alliance to End Homelessness’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness calls on America to change its thinking and pursue steps that seek not just to manage but to permanently end the problem within ten years. Communities across America have created 10 Year Plans and many are several years into the process with numerous successes.

The 10 Year Plan process has been adopted by the Interagency Council on Homelessness as the effective method to end homelessness. There are currently over 350 10 Year Plans in place. These plans are an outstanding way to gain a better understanding of your local community’s needs.

This document lays out potential funding strategies for helping implement your community’s ten year plan, and to play a role in national efforts to end homelessness.
