Sue Panek, Executive Director of the Oshkosh Area United Way shared the message below about an opportunity for the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to share online feedback to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness on a Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.
The President and Congress charged the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) via the HEARTH Act to develop and submit the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness to Congress by May 20, 2010. This plan will serve as a roadmap for joint action by Council agencies to guide the development of programs and budget proposals towards a set of measurable targets. The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness will reflect interagency agreement on a set of priorities and strategies the agencies will pursue over a five-year period.
The process to create this Plan was designed to be transparent and provide multiple opportunities for input, feedback and collaboration. To that end, the USICH wants to provide the opportunity for everyone who is interested in this very important matter to have their opinion heard. They have launched a new interactive website -- USICH Preventing and Ending Homelessness http://fsp.uservoice.com/forums/41991-how-can-the-local-community-contribute-to-the-visi] -- to serve as a repository for ideas and to collect feedback and comments on the ideas posted. The website content will be revised by USICH staff and the ideas that receive the most positive feedback will be assessed for possible inclusion in the FSP. The site will be open during a two week window starting Monday, March 1 through Monday, March 15.
