Federal Strategic Plan

All In is a multi-year, interagency roadmap for a future when no one experiences the tragedy and indignity of homelessness—and everyone has a safe, stable, accessible, and affordable home.

 

The plan was developed by USICH in partnership with the 19 federal agencies that make up the USICH Council, and it will be updated annually to reflect the latest evidence, progress, and input. To develop All In, USICH undertook a comprehensive and inclusive input process that included more than 1,500 online comments and 81 listening sessions that gathered feedback from thousands of providers, elected officials, advocates, and others—including more than 500 who have experienced homelessness. The process included people from nearly 650 communities, tribes, and territories.

 

All In sets an ambitious goal to reduce homelessness 25% by 2025 and encourages state and local governments to use the plan as a blueprint for developing their own strategic plans and for setting their own ambitious goals for 2025. The plan is built around six pillars: three foundations—equity, data and evidence, and collaboration—and three solutions—housing and support, crisis response, and prevention. To drive and measure national, local, and systems-level progress, USICH will develop and publish implementation plans and guidance for partners and communities.

"Every American deserves a safe and reliable place to call home. It’s a matter of security, stability, and well-being. It is also a matter of basic dignity and who we are as a nation."

- President Joe Biden
