The Maricopa region is teaming up with the White House and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) to participate in ALL INside, a first-of-its kind initiative to address unsheltered homelessness. (Watch the launch event<\/a> live at 11 a.m. on YouTube highlighting Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Mesa Mayor John Giles)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As part of ALL INside, the region will partner with USICH and its 19 federal member agencies for up to two years to strengthen and accelerate our local efforts to reduce the number of people living on the streets and ensure individuals and families have a safe place to call home.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many people nationwide are facing housing insecurity and homelessness, and it\u2019s going to take all of us to arrive at additional workable solutions,\u201d said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. \u201cPhoenix has stepped up to lead on regional efforts that provide assistance to our community\u2019s most vulnerable, from targeted shelters for veterans to free mental health care services, and much more. Of course, the work won\u2019t and can\u2019t stop there, which is why we are enthusiastic about working through federal channels such as the ALL INside Initiative to address homelessness across the Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experience of homelessness is unique to each individual and there is no one-size-fits-all solution,\u201d said Mesa Mayor John Giles. \u201cMesa\u2019s Community Court and Off the Streets Program are meeting people where they are and helping to break the cycle, getting people on a path to steady employment and stable housing. There is much work still to be done, and Mesa is pleased to work with the City of Phoenix and our region to address these issues. The federal commitment through the All In strategic plan is a more direct way to partner with the federal government on local solutions to address homelessness in Mesa and the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALL INside is part of All In: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness<\/a>, which set a bold goal to reduce homelessness by 25% by 2025 and ultimately build a country where every person has a safe and affordable home.<\/p>\n

To accelerate ongoing efforts by local leaders, the Biden-Harris Administration will offer tailored support to participating communities for up to two years, including by:<\/p>\n
