Together
We will make homelessness
Rare, Short-lived and Non-Recurring

Homeward 2020 is a collaborative, strategic think-tank guiding implementation of Fort Collins’ 10-Year Plan to Make Homelessness Rare, Short-Lived and Non-Recurring by setting priorities, developing alignment and action plans, and suggesting policy.

The 2018-2020 update of the 10-Year Plan broadly outlines strategies and activities the Homeward 2020 Director, multi-sector stakeholders, work groups, and the Homeward 2020 Community Collaborative focus on. Homeward 2020 currently works on three, community-wide strategic priorities (details HERE):

Data development and reporting to improve understanding and outcomes. Collect and share actionable data, amplify communications and expand stakeholder engagement.
Efficient and effective housing and support solutions. Assess housing and support services and system performance, and constantly improve.
Building capacity and planning for a sustainable, responsive system. Refine and activate collaborative infrastructure to make homelessness solutions sustainable.

Looking Ahead to 2020
In 2020, following implementation of the final phase of Fort Collins 10-Year Pan to make Homelessness Rare, Short-Lived and Non-Recurring, Homeward 2020 will capitalize on the organization’s decade of disciplined research and system development, application of key evidence-based models, data collection, consultation with local and national experts, and ongoing, collaborative community work. We will develop a Community Action Strategy identifying solutions to end homelessness based on performance targets, existing assets and persistent gaps, prioritized next steps and partnerships, and identify resources to leverage and layer towards the effort. The goal is to secure a sustainable and effective system response to homelessness in Fort Collins.
