Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness

Governor Patrick issued Executive Order Number 492 on November 18, 2007 that reinstated the Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness (ICHH). Governor Timothy P. Murray chairs the Council, which is working to implement the recommendations from the Massachusetts Commission to End Homelessness. ICHH members include representatives from fourteen different departments who serve populations that may experience homelessness. The Council meets monthly to provide solutions to ongoing systemic barriers to ending homelessness, and has taken on three key priorities for 2012: (a) continuing to reform the ways in which the state responds to homelessness and housing scarcity through the Governor's FY 2013 budget proposal, (b) preventing and ending homelessness among veterans, and (c) preventing and ending homelessness among survivors of domestic violence.
