How Innovative Solutions and Interagency Coordination Can Drive Results Amid Reduced Funding
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified homelessness and existing housing issues, creating a crisis today. Although emergency funding provided quick relief, it also led to uncoordinated growth of support services across government. This resulted in both isolated agency operations and poorly coordinated programs, causing lack of transparency and governance challenges. As federal funding shifts with the end of COVID-era programs, state and local governments should now focus on better coordination of their efforts to ensure effective use of funds.

With deep experience and a focus on practical implementation, A&M enables public leaders to drive sustainable impact and deliver more effective outcomes for the communities they serve.
