Our Strategies
Bringing Our Community Home offers the framework
for a credible, affordable plan to achieve this ambitious but

homelessness before it begins
- Supportive
Services: Provide diverse and appropriate care

permanent housing through recruitment, rehabilitation, new development
and rental subsidies
- Economic Self-sufficiency: Provide for long-term housing stability by increasing incomes

plan development and implementation will be defined in the first
years of the Plan. Two cross-cutting strategies addressing the
application and maintenance of its proposals were outlined in
the community planning process and provide a framework:
