Interagency Council on Homelessness
A spokesman for the Obama Administration annnounced that a National Stategic Plan to prevent and end homelessness in America has been launched.
The program is meant to increase "leadership, collaboration and Civic engagement by focusing on providing and promoting collaborative leadership in all levels of Government," according to a press release.
The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (which is comprised in part by HUD - the U.S. Department labor, Health and Human Services - and Veterans Service) will head up the ambitious effort.
The council will endeavour to "increase access to stable and affordable housing" by providing "and permanent supportive housing."
The function of the timely program is to also "expand and meaningful and sustainable employment", improve health and stability", and "re-tool the homeless response system."
Kudos to the President for implementing the life-saver for those in dire need in these tough economic times!
