The plan was developed by USICH with the collective thinking of 19 federal agencies that make up the USICH Council, and it will be updated annually to reflect the latest evidence, progress, and input.

To develop All In, USICH undertook a comprehensive and inclusive input process that included more than 1,500 online comments and 81 listening sessions that gathered feedback from thousands of providers, elected officials, advocates, and others—including more than 500 who have experienced homelessness. The process included people from nearly 650 communities, tribes, and territories.

This report was created as an educational tool for service providers, elected officials, community leaders and donors."

"The Shelter Better Task Force will provide a foundation for community partners, leaders and residents to better understand homelessness in our city. The Task Force’s work will include a review of a shelter needs analysis and strategic land assessment to develop a final advisory recommendation for Mayor McLean, Boise City Council, shelter leadership and the public.
The goal of the recommendation will be to guide community decisions around Boise’s emergency shelter response as it folds into Our Path Home’s strategic plan for ending homelessness."
