Title
City of Gainesville - Alachua County 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness (B)

Recommendations on priorities for implementing the 10-Year Plan to End Homeless in Gainesville and Alachua County are now being presented by the Implementation Committee of the 10-Year Plan.

Explanation
On December 15, 2005, the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Gainesville and Alachua County was presented at a joint City/County Commission meeting. Both commissions received the Plan and authorized their respective managers (City Manager and County Manager) to work with the Implementation Committee of the 10-Year Plan to establish priorities for funding the implementation of the Plan.

Beginning in January 2006, the Implementation Committee, which is co-chaired by Mayor Pegeen Hanrahan and County Commissioner Rodney Long, and comprised of the chairs and co-chairs of the original committees that worked on the plan, began reviewing all of the recommendations in the 10-Year Plan. The Implementation Committee concluded its prioritization of recommendations on March 16 and requested the City and County Managers to review the recommended priorities and provide comments back to the Implementation Committee. Those comments were presented to the Implementation Committee on April 6 and are now being presented along with the Implementation Committee's recommendations to both commissions for their consideration.
