Homeless Services Strategy Development Steering Committee
Background
In 2009-09, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments undertook a planning effort to define an approach to coordinate the delivery of homeless services here in the San Gabriel Valley. This effort was undertaken in partnership with Los Angeles County. To accomplish this objective, SGVCOG involved important stakeholder groups including county, city, community and faith-based organizations.
