Heading Home St. Louis County

Two committees are responsible for carrying out the "Heading Home St. Louis County- A Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness". In 2007 the Heading Home St. Louis County Plan was described as a living document that would adjust according to changes in the political and economic environment. The Implementation Team was created to oversee this Plan. It is designed to allow for strong community participation and to insure a connection between establishing priorities and funding them. Created in 2004 by the City of Duluth and St. Louis County, the Committee to End Homelessness (CEH) was formulated to have a leadership role in the homeless planning process, providing both rural and urban input.
