Address: 900 E. Broad Street, 5th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219
Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday | 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
This special Advisory Council was created to provide advice to the Mayor and City Council about issues related to the homeless services system in the Richmond community. The Advisory Council has thirty (30) days to review information and create a list of recommendations. The list of recommendations is the expected deliverable.
The Advisory Council will be asked to absorb a great deal of information about a complex, multilayered social issue. Hopefully, the work product of the Advisory Council will help the Mayor, the City Council, local media and the general public clarify the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders, set appropriate expectations regarding capacity and resource allocations, resolve outstanding service delivery issues, and neutralize misinformation. The framework for this work will be the Strategic Plan to End Homelessness approved by City Council.
