The Team

Policy Group

In 2018, the mayors, city managers, and chiefs of police in the Tri-Cities launched the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Group, a collaborative effort between regional leaders to craft a response to homelessness. Working in partnership with service providers and other regional leaders, the Tri-Cities Policy Group created an Action Plan to address homelessness, which provides a framework to guide the region’s response.
