Homelessness & Housing Update - August 2021

What has your LOC been working on for the past 4 weeks?

Our big push in the last few weeks was related to the City's Master Siting Plan to end homelessness. We supported the plan, but also proposed a number of changes and urgent points to consider moving forward.

We also continue to advocate for a coordinated, comprehensive plan to end homelessness. Significant movement and activity has moved the needle more toward this goal, which is exciting.

Action Updates

The City Council unanimously voted to pass the Master Siting Plan. We will continue to monitor the progress of this plan as it continues to move forward, particularly with regards to its actual implementation.
