Supervisors unanimously agreed to pursue a coordinated approach with partners throughout the county to reach the goal
The county will take an all-hands-on-deck approach to end veteran homelessness through a coordinated effort that will include various agencies working together throughout the region.by Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, a former Marine.
The goal is to reach functional zero, defined as when a community is able to house its homeless population with room to spare on any given month. “This progress has happened thanks to the VA, with the support of the federal government and local leaders who have moved deliberately over the past decade to provide greater investment and coordination on this issue,” he said. “Yet more work is needed. It’s unacceptable for those who bravely served our country to end up on the street.”
Fletcher and other supervisors agreed that functional zero may be within reach with a more coordinated effort. “Then, we figure out every person in that coalition,” he said about the different organizations that will be involved. “What is their role and what is their responsibility?”
