Welcome

The Anchor Community Initiative Resource Hub is a collection of resources, tools and case studies to help you use data to end youth and young adult homelessness in your community.

Maintain Stakeholder Engagement

1. Inspire a shared sense of mission and progress in front-line staff by setting a regular meeting to share stories and community data

2. In regular meetings, acknowledge staff for their efforts & celebrate accomplishments like recent housing placements

3. Publicly recognize, through media or events, public officials who support your effort or commit resources.

4. Build a team of media or public relations staff from key participating agencies (e.g. mayor’s staff, service providers) to create a shared media and communications strategy.

5. Put pencil to paper and compile stories + data showing progress towards the community aim and goals and supply it for community education materials.

6. Convene a quarterly review of progress toward the community aim attended by all relevant stakeholders.
