Community Engagement

Community-Based Planning & Policy, Strategic Plan on Homelessness

The city and county engaged The Athena Group to help them facilitate a community-driven strategic planning process on homelessness. To do this, The Athena Group’s project partners designed and facilitated a process that ultimately enabled a diverse group of community members and leaders—the Planning and Action Team on Homelessness (PATH)—to find the best way forward for themselves, in light of all interests and perspectives in the community.
