Appendix F – Transition to Alternate Sheltering

This document is unique in that no previous document has dealt, in detail, with the difficulties of transitioning the occupants of a congregate shelter to an appropriate housing solution. Authored by subject matter experts from throughout the national mass care community, and capturing the hard lessons learned from 2016 and 2017, the document outlines a locally-led, multi-agency approach to shelter transition.

The topics in the document include: explanation of a Shelter Transition Model; Multi-Agency Stakeholders & their Roles; the Shelter Transition Team; and Barriers to Shelter Transition. The Appendix also includes a Toolkit for local jurisdictions faced with shelter transition.The newly available Appendix F is a update to the existing Appendix F in the Multi-Agency Sheltering/Sheltering Support Plan Template.
