The Strategic Update recommends actions aimed at reducing homelessness by 1) preventing homelessness; 2) ensuring safer and more dignified conditions for those experiencing homelessness; and 3) increasing permanent homes.

In fulfillment of those agreements Everyone Home convenes stakeholders, develops policies for the housing crisis response system, and tracks outcomes through the following committees: Everyone Home Membership, Leadership Board, Results Based Accountability, HUD CoC Committee, HMIS Oversight Committee, System Coordination Committee, and Youth Action Board. Stakeholders include people with lived experience of homelessness, elected officials, advocacy groups, and service providers as well as county and city government administrators.
