2025 Five-Year Homeless Housing Strategic Plan: Strategy Session 1

Join us for the first session of our strategic planning series! We'll be discussing innovative ways to tackle homelessness in our community over the next five years. This in-person event will be held at the Maggie Perez Student Success Center.

Strategy Session 1 will focus on:

• An introduction to the local homeless response system, the 2019-24 plan, strategic plan development process, and existing data.
• Presentations from the Washington State Department of Commerce on HMIS data and homeless response system performance metrics.
• Break out into stakeholder groups to discuss needs, gaps, and opportunities.

If you plan to attend, please plan to commit to all three full-day strategic sessions over the course of 2025 if you are able. This will be a year-long process with each session building off of the last. The dates for all four sessions can be found here:

1. Strategy Session 1: February 18 (full day)
2. Strategy Session 2: May 13 (full day)
3. Strategy Session 3: August 11 (full day)
4. Strategy Session 4: November (partial day - OPTIONAL)

All of the strategy session registrations can be found under our Eventbrite organizer profile here. Eventbrite does not allow for registration too far in advance of an event date, so if you find that the next session is not yet available for registration, please simply mark on your calendar the date so that you can hold it in your schedule, and watch for an email from the Human Services Department when tickets become available.

Lunch will be provided. Get ready to brainstorm, collaborate, and make a difference together!
