EXHIBIT X
Commission to End Homelessness Homeless Service System Pillars Attestation
Background:
The Commission to End Homelessness developed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report, which includes four pillars – Prevention, Outreach & Supportive Services, Shelter and Housing – that provide key interventions to assist individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness. The Homeless Service System Pillars Report provides a definition and goal for each pillar thus establishing a collective understanding of the interventions, programming and outcomes expected for each pillar.
Additionally, the Homeless Service System Pillars Report identifies the best practices, principles, and commitments to be followed by each Pillar.
On October 18, 2022, the Orange County Board of Supervisors received the Commission to End Homelessness’ Homeless Service System Pillars Report and also directed the Homeless Service System Pillars Report be utilized as a framework in the design and development of programs that address the needs of individuals and families at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness across the County of Orange.
