2 organization. The Strategic Planning Implementation Committee met bi-weekly from July 2021 – November 2021 to inform the community plan. The group included city and county staff, people with lived expertise, service providers, nonprofit organizations, advocates, and CoC Leadership Board members.1 Various technical staff also met with Abt Associates to review modeling updates. The primary changes to the system modeling are: 1. The decision to propose more shelter in addition to permanent housing, to rapidly reduce unsheltered homelessness. This was not addressed in the original modeling but was highly recommended by the Implementation Committee and jurisdictional partners; 2. The decision to model for a decrease in new entries into homelessness by the end of the planning period, with an increased investment in prevention; 3. Updates to length of time spent in shelter to more accurately reflect current conditions and impacts of future investments; and 4. Updates to certain cost assumptions based on current data. In addition to implementing recommendations from the CRE report and updated system model, this Home Together Plan is responsive to requirements laid out in the California Comeback Plan for community plans to draw down key State housing and health funding. It is also informed by and consistent with other local and regional efforts, including the All Home Regional Action Plan, and Plan Bay Area 2050. 2.
