On May 18, 2023, the All Neighbors Coalition and The City of Dallas were pleased to announce that we are teaming up with the White House and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) to participate in ALL INside, a first-of-its kind initiative to address unsheltered homelessness. ALL INside will focus on reducing unsheltered homelessness in six communities: Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix Metro, Seattle, and the state of California. Here is the full fact sheet for this initiative.
What does this mean for our community? While this initiative does not come with additional funding, we will receive support from a dedicated federal official who will be embedded in our community to accelerate locally-driven strategies and enact system-level changes to reduce unsheltered homelessness.
Additionally, the Biden-Harris Administration will offer innovative and tailored support to participating communities for up to two years, including by:
- Deploying dedicated teams across the federal government to identify opportunities for regulatory relief and flexibilities, navigate federal funding streams, and facilitate a peer learning network across the communities; and
- Convening philanthropy, the private sector, and other communities to identify opportunities for follow-on support and collaboration.
ALL INside is a key part of All In: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which set a bold goal to reduce homelessness 25% by 2025 and ultimately build a country where every person has a safe and affordable home. In case you missed it, Housing Forward recently hosted Jeff Olivet, Executive Director of United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) on the We Are Neighbors Podcast where he discussed the new federal strategic plan.
