"This strategic plan begins with a discussion about our purpose — Guiding the fight against homelessness. It is the reason we exist as an organization. Our partner organizations, public systems, government, and the private sector have all told us that our role as a guide is of critical value to the work they do and to the people they serve. Our bold ambition is to be recognized as the authoritative guide on how governments, service providers and community leaders can best leverage their combined resources and programs in a unified fight against homelessness."
