New Matrix Released to Accompany Framework for an Equitable COVID-19 Homelessness Response

Partners leading the work on the Framework for an Equitable COVID-19 Homelessness Response released the At-A-Glance Matrix to provide guidance on how communities can prioritize their use of CARES Act resources to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness during the coronavirus pandemic.

The At-a-Glance Matrix and accompanying video builds on the Framework by helping communities decide how to strategically sequence CARES Act resources to meet the urgent needs of people experiencing homelessness and prioritize racial equity in their decision making. The Matrix is organized around a set of questions to help identify the most urgent needs of people experiencing homelessness and how CARES Act resources can be strategically layered to meet those needs. The guidance also suggests ways funding can be used to address longer-term solutions to homelessness and homelessness prevention for extremely low-income households.

Partners will continue releasing new resources to help communities build an equitable response to the coronavirus pandemic.
