DISCUSSION
Background
In December 2007 the County of San Luis Obispo commissioned Homebase of San Francisco to
develop the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) stipulated "10-Year Plan to
End Chronic Homelessness". The development of the plan is essential to secure continued
funding of programs financed through HUD and will mark the beginning of a countywide
collaboration to address the needs of the County's homeless population. The San Luis Obispo
Countywide 10-Year Plan will be a strategic document, with goals and action steps that set the
direction of policy and resources to this end.
What Issues will the Leadership Council Seek to Address?
The Leadership Council will oversee the development of the 10-Year Plan, setting the vision,
mission and guiding principles for the subject matter committees. The Council will review all
Plan Chapters as they emerge from the committees, and consider implementation strategies.
There are four committees providing this information and City staff is represented in Finance and
Administration (Brigitte Elke, Principal Administrative Analyst) and Short Term and Permanent
Housing (Kim Murry,Deputy Director Community Development). The remaining committees
address Prevention &Discharge and Supportive Services.
What will be the Tasks of the Leadership Council?
The Council will consider general data, research, and best practices developed by the sub-
committees and define the scope and attributes of chronic and family homelessness throughout
SLO County. It will finalize all goals, strategies, action steps, and outcome measures for the plan
and approve the administrative structure to support the implementation and oversight of the plan.
