Housing & Homelessness Locally
Asheville/Buncombe County's main initiative is to end homelessness with its Ten Year Plan
- Asheville's Strategic Plan for the Ten Year Plan (full text)
- The history of the idea of the "Ten Year Plan" by its creators National Alliance to End Homelessness
- Homeward Bounds' programs that are working within the Ten Year Plan
Why it Matters
- The plan is only in its fifth year and it has already reduced chronic homelessness by 75%
- There is an abundance of data supporting that this initiative is cheaper than previous approaches
- The boards of Homeward Bound and the Asheville committee both have a member that is or formally was homeless in order to properly represent all parties involved in this transition
