On June 4, 2007, Guilford County’s ten year plan, Partnering to End Chronic Homelessness was unveiled to the community. This comprehensive plan has two major objectives, generating housing and strengthening prevention & supportive services directed around the housing first approach. Partners Ending Homelessness is an initiative that focuses on actively implementing, evaluating, and updating Guilford County’s ten year plan.
Implementation of the ten year plan is conducted by the Leadership Council and the Administrative Staff who are working to identify implementation strategies, coordinate action teams to work on the ten year plan strategies and identify community needs and develop additional resources for Guilford County.
Family Service of the Piedmont, the largest private nonprofit agency serving children and families in Guilford County will serve as the lead agency to oversee Guilford County’s ten year plan implementation. Their mission is to empower individuals and families to restore hope, achieve stability, and thrive through quality support services, advocacy, and education. They will work to provide effective solutions and accessible services to eliminate chronic homelessness and to strengthen Guilford County’s effectiveness at addressing homelessness through the Partners Ending Homelessness Initiative.
