WHEREAS, children, families, veterans, and chronically homeless individuals experiencing mental illness and addictions comprise a large portion of the region's homeless population; and
WHEREAS, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development created the Continuum of Care program in 1994 as a means for communities across the nation to "engage in multi-year strategic planning for homeless programs and services that are well integrated with planning for mainstream services"; mainstream services denoting public housing, Section 8 housing choice vouchers, and services for runaway and homeless youth, victims of domestic violence, veterans, seniors, and people experiencing addictions and/or mental illness; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Sweet Home supports establishing a Continuum of Care for the Linn, Benton, and Lincoln County region and supports the new Continuum of Care registering with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2024.
