All In: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness
All In is a multi-year, interagency roadmap for a future when no one experiences the tragedy and indignity of homelessness—and everyone has a safe, stable, accessible, and affordable home.
The plan was developed by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) in partnership with the 19 federal agencies that make up the USICH Council, and it will be updated annually to reflect the latest evidence, progress, and input.
All In sets an ambitious goal to reduce homelessness 25% by 2025 and encourages state and local governments to use the plan as a blueprint for developing their own strategic plans and for setting their own ambitious goals for 2025.
