About the Delaware Interagency Collaborative to End Homelessness

The newly established 15-member collaborative will:
- Advise the Governor on how to address and ultimately eliminate homelessness statewide.
- Conduct a comprehensive review of homelessness programs, policies, funding, and services.
- Recommend ways to streamline and coordinate efforts across state agencies and community organizations.

- Oversee implementation of a statewide strategy to reduce overall homelessness by 50% and end youth homelessness within five years.
