Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness - USICH 2015 Amendment Released

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), along with its 19 member agencies, just released an amendment to “Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness". Originally released on the same day in 2010, Opening Doors is the nation’s first comprehensive Federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness. The Plan provides a roadmap for coordinated, joint action among the 19 USICH member agencies in conjunction with local and state partners. Since the launch of Opening Doors five years ago, the trajectory of homelessness in America has changed dramatically. According to the 2014 Point-in-Time count, overall homelessness has declined nationwide by 10 percent since 2010.
