Learning Community Workgroups
As part of the technical assistance follow up to the Homeless Policy
Academies, four Learning Community Workgroups were conducted.
The Learning Community Workgroups aim to enhance States’ ability to implement
the priorities and strategies detailed in the action plans and the valuable
work already in process (more Background/History).
Based on discussions with State teams, Federal partners, and TA providers,
four topics have been identified as common themes, challenges, and promising
practices across States. They are:
- Youth/Young Adults
"Preventing and Resolving Homelessness
Through Successful Transitions for Youth and Young Adults"

The Learning Community Workgroup objectives within each topic area are
to:
- Maximize peer-to-peer learning
- Address what helps and hinders implementation of State action plans
- Highlight innovative approaches that States have implemented, with
a focus on how they may be adapted in other States
- Stimulate communication within the Learning Community Workgroup that
will prompt States to utilize and leverage different resources around
them and across systems.
