Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness

The Pierce County Coalition for the Homeless presents ?The Road Home: Ending Chronic Homelessness?A Ten Year Plan for Pierce County? with the confidence that chronic homelessness is a serious, community based crisis. We believe that there are solutions to the problems of chronic homelessness, that solving chronic homelessness is one of many important steps to ending overall homelessness, and that solving homelessness is critical to the overall economic development and health of Tacoma and Pierce County. The Road Home presents a plan based on these beliefs with reasonable goals to achieve within the next ten years.
