The Plan

Vision
Sacramento County residents will have permanent housing and access to resources or support services necessary to prevent or break the cycle of chronic homelessness.

Mission
Prevent, and eventually eliminate, chronic homelessness by providing permanent housing and coordinated services to help individuals achieve maximum self-sufficiency.

Guiding Principle
Solving the community-wide challenges associated with homelessness requires visionary leadership; commitment to the goal of ending, not just managing homelessness; and partnership among all jurisdictions, as well as among faith-based, private and civic organizations.

Essential Components
The essential components to solving the problems of homelessness are:

1. Housing First
2. Outreach and Central Intake
3. Prevention
4. Leadership
5. Evaluation and Reporting to the Community
