The Community Planning Collaborative on Homelessness is a process established in 2004 to ensure that the County and the community support policies, programs, and services that prevent homelessness and meet the needs of those families and individuals who become homeless. The Collaborative encompasses two major bodies, the Council on Homelessness and the Community Forum on Homelessness (see below). In addition, there are standing committees to carry out work for the Collaborative, and ad hoc committees can be formed for special projects. Together with the standing and ad hoc committees, the Council and the Forum conduct the necessary business and work to support the broad purposes of the Collaborative.

Community Forum on Homelessness

The Community Forum on Homelessness is open to all persons and organizations involved or interested in services and programs to prevent homelessness or to address the needs of persons who become homeless in the Fairfax-Falls Church community. The Community Forum gives an opportunity for networking and sharing among providers and advocates. It also provides for a broad exchange of information among participants to help ensure that the Collaborative remains a consensus driven process, and that information about the work of the Council and the committees is shared with the larger community. Meetings of the Forum are scheduled by the Council on Homelessness and listed on the CPCH Calendar of Events and Meetings.
