Today’s actively homeless #
One action you took since the June call to move your coalition toward functional zero
.Get your functional zero huddle.�.off the ground.
Reminder: Ingredients for a huddle.
Convene a 15-minute recurring meeting with a temporary working group that continually looks for new actions to take
Why’s a huddle valuable?.
It’s not any one individual’s job to end homelessness in your community
As people join the huddle, they experience it becoming their job
If you build a weekly habit of discussing the actions you’re taking to reach functional zero, then the functional zero goal will rise up your coalition’s priority list

Why’s a huddle valuable?.
It’s not any one individual’s job to end homelessness in your community
As people join the huddle, they experience it becoming their job
If you build a weekly habit of discussing the actions you’re taking to reach functional zero, then the functional zero goal will rise up your coalition’s priority list
The most important people in a huddle.
A facilitator to keep the conversation focused on taking action to achieve the goal
Action-takers who are positioned to carry out plans after this call or who lead the frontline staff who will take action
People whose resources or help is required if your coalition is going to reach the goal
But keep it to 5 or fewer people. If you can’t share a pizza, you have too many people to make fast decisions!
If you’ve started a huddle:�How’s it working?
If you haven’t yet:�What are you trying to figure out?
.Focus your huddle here:.�.Do you have a long-stayer issue?.
Some Last Mile learning from 2020.
The more long stayers you have on your list, the less likely you are to reach functional zero
The upshot: Taking action to house your long stayers is required if you are to achieve your goal
Check your list health.
Assess your data the same way we do at a Last Mile onsite:
Check your list health.
Assess your data the same way we do at a Last Mile onsite:
If this number is over 25%,�go “all hands on deck”—�house those people!
The time to take action is now.
Achieving and sustaining functional zero may require you to:
Make it a collaboration.
You don’t have to know from day 1 how you’re going to house all of these people; you need only to create a process that allows for collaboration and learning, and then you’ll figure it out
Housing long stayers is a worthy use of your political capital
It’s a prime improvement on which to focus your functional zero huddle or case conferencing
You’ll be more likely to see results if you offer people a structured process for coordination, experimenting with new actions, and tracking progress
New resource in Last Mile email after call.
.Let’s talk about your process.
Let’s coach each other.
In breakouts, tell your peer leaders:
Show your annotation if you want!
Watch for Eddie’s email.
After this call, I’ll send an email with the resources we mentioned today
