U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness

USICH coordinates the Federal response to homelessness by convening meetings and working groups to establish policies that better link programs, benefits and services. At the State and local level, USICH helps communities create interagency councils establish ten year plans to end chronic homelessness.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • USICH's role is key to the successful coordination of the Federal, State, and local response to homelessness and in carrying out the Administration goal to end chronic homelessness.
  • Through its Regional Coodinators, USICH has been successful in working with cities and counties in establishing ten-year plans to end chronic homelessness and has been tracking the success of these communities in implementing their plans and seeing reductions in chronic homelessness in their communities.
  • While USICH has been collecting data on the progress of Federal, State and local partners in working to end chronic homelessness, they had not established meaningful targets for their goals until the PART process.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Helping key Federal agencies more rapidly devise individual plans to end chronic homelessness and find programmatic areas in which agencies are able and willing to collaborate.
  • Reporting data more consistently on progress made towards reaching annual and long-term measures annually on the USICH website and in the newsletter.
