Tracking progress – new progress report
To track the advancement of the CCP, the Youth Action Board worked with Hennepin County to develop the Coordinated Community Plan – Progress Report. The Progress Report includes status updates for all goals, objectives, and action steps outlined in the Coordinated Community Plan. This will guide our community’s ongoing and future work to prevent and end youth homelessness.
Get involved
There are two ways that you can get involved:
-
Submit a survey! Review the Coordinated Community Plan – Progress Report and identify goals that you or your program may have impacted or influenced. If you have an update, submit a survey.
-
Attend an update session! Attend the Coordinated Community Plan – Progress Report update session with Collaborative Solutions and Homebase, technical assistance groups for the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP).
