ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/338 to Support the Contra Costa Zero:2016 Campaign to End Veteran and Chronic
Homelessness.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa's Homeless Program is one of over 70 organizations selected to join Zero: 2106, a national campaign
that aims to end veteran and chronic homelessness within two years. The Zero: 2016 campaign, led by New
York-based nonprofit Community Solutions, will provide technical assistance to local service providers and the
Contra Costa Homeless Program as they enhance their strategies for helping people in these key, vulnerable
demographics into permanent housing.
The campaign aims to reduce the average daily number of homeless veterans and chronically homeless individuals in
participating communities to zero by 2016, using real-time data and performance management tracking developed to
accelerate housing efforts. To date, the County is on track to end veteran homelessness by December 2015.
Local partners in the campaign include the Contra Costa Council
