The Integrated Services Committee is responsible for developing an implementation plan for:
- Providing effective supportive services to keep people in housing.
- Increasing the income of homeless people through employment and benefits.
- Developing and implementing prevention strategies to reduce the number of persons who enter homelessness.
The committee has reviewed the delivery of Arlington services in these areas, identified best practices being implemented in other parts of the country and started to implement action steps that will lead to the provision of effective supportive services and increased income for individuals who are homeless. The committee will also examine policy and procedures that focus on the prevention of homelessness (e.g. effective discharge planning, early warning system).
