Homelessness Initiative

In alignment with the District's strategic plan, this initiative was approved by the Board on June 27, 2017, to allocate funding up to $2 million as a challenge grant to launch a collective fund for the development of a collaborative initiative to address homelessness. An additional $1 million was committed by the Board on June 25, 2019.
