Why Host a Community Forum Now?

The key objectives of the forum are two-fold:

Igniting a FUSE to Address the Needs of Individuals and Families with Severe Service Needs

TPCH and the City of Tucson HCD are working closely with Corporation to Supportive
Housing
to launch a Frequent User System Engagement (FUSE) initiative aimed at rapidly housing individuals and families with severe service needs to reduce costs and trauma associated with recurrent episodes of homelessness,  incarceration, and emergency services. This forum will serve as a launch of the FUSE initiative and an opportunity to align health, housing, supportive service, and other resources to help these prioritized households access and maintain permanent housing.

Outlining a Coordinated Community Plan to Address the Growing Rates of Unsheltered Homelessness, Particularly Among Individuals and Families with Severe Service Needs

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has released an unprecedented funding opportunity to address unsheltered homelessness. Local and state governments have additionally experienced infusions of new federal resources to support the transition of unsheltered persons to temporary and permanent housing. This session will allow Tucson area stakeholders to identify and align resources, community priorities, and strategies to address unsheltered homelessness, particularly among individuals and families with severe service needs.

Location

This event will be held at the Community Foundation Campus located in the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (5049 E. Broadway Blvd., Tucson, AZ 85711). Public sessions will be live-streamed on the City of Tucson HCD YouTube Channel.

Event Agenda

The two-day community forum will include public events and smaller stakeholder meetings aimed at launching the TPCH and City of Tucson HCD FUSE initiative, and determining longer-term strategies and priorities for addressing unsheltered homelessness locally.
