Create a cost-effective integrated continuum of local, State and Federal systems and services that will permit New York State’s homeless individuals and families to achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency.

Action Plan

Disclaimer: The State plans to address homelessness are based on discussions begun during one of the Policy Academies, refined within the State, and commented on by a Federal review team. They are presented without endorsement or recommendation.
