"Using USICH criteria and benchmarks for ending family homelessness, the initiative utilizes a “collective impact model,” which brings different organizations together toward a common goal rather than leaving each to its own agenda and strategies, Kohler said. For Milwaukee, that has meant settling on one definition of family homelessness for all agencies and sectors to work with. It has meant sharing data and creating one dashboard to track progress. And it has meant constant communication, bringing all partners together to meet quarterly to strengthen relationships between shelters, rapid rehousing providers and eviction lawyers." #collectiveimpact #homelessness #endhomelessness
