Homeless Issues Advisory Committee
The Community Commission on Homelessness (CCH) was originally convened in October 2005 following the recommendation of the Mayor's Task Force on Homeless Services in their final report (June 2005). In October of 2011, the name of the body changed to the Homeless Issues Advisory Committee (HIAC) under Resolution No. 6951. The HIAC has the following duties: review the implementation of the Homeless Services Plan; evaluate progress toward stated goals and programs; develop a ten-year plan to end chronic homelessness; and facilitate communication between interested stakeholders.
The Committee is an advisory body to the City Commission and may make reports and findings to other appropriate governmental bodies in Douglas County.
The Committee uses the adopted plan as a guide in the direction of Commission work and has further refined the housing section of the plan into a comprehensive Housing Vision.
The Committee shall have the charge of making such recommendations to the City Commission as it determines appropriate for the advancement of appropriate services for the homeless.
