Under Reaching Home, communities are to develop and deliver data-driven system plans with clear outcomes. The new outcomes-based approach keeps decision making at the local level and gives communities greater flexibility to address local priorities. Communities report publicly on their community-wide outcomes and use these outcomes to track the progress being made by communities in their effort to prevent and reduce homelessness, including year over year reductions in chronic homelessness. Other outcomes will cover prevention and diversion initiatives as well as the effectiveness of local homelessness systems more broadly.
