[ Q1 ]
Overall, how informed are you on the strategic plan to end chronic homelessness in Douglas County, A Place for Everyone?
[ Q2 ]
Overall, how informed are you on the five (5) focus areas of the A Place for Everyone strategic plan for Douglas County?
01. Equity and Inclusion: Recognizing that homelessness disproportionately impacts women, Black, Indigenous, and other Persons of Color (BIPOC) in our community, this plan is designed to optimize equity by focusing on specific low-income populations in our community.
02. Affordable Housing: The goals of the affordable housing portion of this plan are focused on increasing the amount of affordable rental and homeownership properties and improving access to the affordable housing that already exists.
03. Supportive Housing: Supportive housing serves community members who need additional supportive services to stay housed. It is affordable housing that is coupled with social services that enable residents to stay healthy and housed.
04. Systems: Ending chronic homelessness in Douglas County requires a coordinated system of resources in which many organizations work together. These "systems" help us gather an accurate picture of where things stand so that we can move this work forward.
05. Emergency Services and Shelter: Emergency shelter is temporary, short-term housing for people experiencing homelessness. It is a solution that helps people move from street homelessness to a shelter where they can have access to needed support services.
