Founded in 2000 and located in Washtenaw County, Michigan, the Washtenaw Housing Alliance (WHA) is an unique coalition of twenty-seven community-based organizations that serve those experiencing homelessness or those at risk of homelessness.
A Home for Everyone: A Blueprint to End Homelessness:
In 2004, Washtenaw County citizens embarked on a bold endeavor—to map out the way we could end homelessness in our community in ten years. This plan, “A Home for Everyone: A Blueprint to End Homelessness” was released with four primary goals: prevention; housing with support services; reforming our systems of care and engaging the community. Workgroups assessed the current situations, researched best practices and made change and plans for a chance to bring Washtenaw County in line with these goals.Much has changed since 2004 and so it is time to take stock of all we have accomplished, examine what more we can do in this changed landscape of a declining economy, and plan for the next three to five years. This report, “Blueprint Progress Report 2004-2011” provides a look at our achievements.We hope that it brings you a sense of satisfaction that our community has been able to respond creatively, thoughtfully, and successfully in the past seven years. We surely could not have done this without your help and the involvement of hundreds of our community partners throughout Washtenaw County.Let us know what you think, volunteer to assist in moving forward, and be energized by all we can do. Remember, we can end homelessness together.
Julie A Steiner, Executive Director
