The Committee made the strategic decision to coordinate valleywide planning efforts for homelessness under the broader recommendations developed as part of the County of Riverside's 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness (see Appendix B). Initially, two phases for the strategic planning process have been established. The first phase focuses on the development of two (2) Multi -Service Centers (MSC). Cook Street was determined to be the geographic east/west boundary to serve as a context for sharing the burden of serving Valley homeless. One MSC will be developed east of Cook Street to serve the eastern Coachella Valley jurisdictions and the other MSC will be located west of Cook Street for service to the western Coachella Valley. The mission of the two MSCs will be to provide comprehensive support services to promote progress towards permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Both MSC's will be designed to provide one -stop access to resources for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or are at -risk of homelessness. A wide array of supportive services are envisioned including but not limited to basic amenities such as showering/personal care and laundry, to street outreach, transportation, childcare, medical care, mental health services, integrated case management, food and housing. The Homelessness Committee is currently supported by four subcommittees that have been established to work on the objectives detailed under each of this Plan's four Strategic Goals. These subcommittees are: Site Planning; Program Planning; Finance; and, Public Relations. CVAG Hornlessness Committee 36 Month Plan Approved 7/30/07-Executive committee 1 E RESOLUTION NO. 08-15 Phase Two of the planning will commence at Such time that the activities in the first phase have moved towards implementation.
