Our current timeline and opportunities for community engagement:
We Want Your Feedback
Our consultants from Pathway Group have put together a survey to be filled out by our General Membership to help shape the major themes of the strategic plan moving forward.
What’s Next
Our consultants are currently organizing and scheduling focus groups with Advisory Council members, Steering and Executive Committee members, Core Function Groups, and other key community partners. Over the next several weeks, these conversations will gather perspectives from across the community and help shape the priorities and guiding principles of the Coalition’s next strategic plan.
Background
In May 2026, the Executive and Steering Committees announced a strategic recalibration process to update the coalition’s strategic direction. Our current strategic plan was developed in 2023 with three-year benchmarks, making this an important opportunity to assess our progress, identify emerging community needs, and prepare for 2027 and beyond.
Through this process, we aim to strengthen the Coalition’s effectiveness, better align our work with community needs, and position our Continuum of Care to successfully compete for and steward federal resources that support people experiencing homelessness.
How will the Coalition operate during this recalibration period?
We will continue:
- Executive and Steering Committee Meetings
- General Membership Meetings
- Collaboration among Utah’s 3 Continuums of Care
We will remain focused on:
- Maintaining compliance with federal HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) requirements
- Strengthening community alignment around clear, shared priorities
- Continuing our role as a community advocate and educator
- Develop a strategy that provides stability while remaining responsive to a changing policy and funding environment.
What will change during this recalibration period?
Regular Core Function Group meetings will pause during the spring and summer. Instead, these groups will participate in focused discussions with our consultants, providing subject-matter expertise and community perspectives that will directly inform the development of the new strategic plan.
