New lived-experience advisory committee to shape homelessness policy, Commerce says
Summary
Commerce described a lived-experience advisory committee formed in 2024 to advise on policy and procurement; the 11-member group has reviewed grants, helped set case management standards, and is adopting a work plan with priorities like coordinated-entry engagement and continuous improvement feedback loops.
Oliver Crane introduced the Lived Experience Advisory Committee, explaining the group's role in bringing people with lived experience into policymaking and procurement.
"The group was formed in 2024... it's 11 people at this point," Oliver Crane said, noting members represent urban and rural counties and contribute to standards and grant review. He described the group's work on case management minimum standards tied to the consolidated homeless grant and its role reviewing homelessness diversion grant applicants.
Looking forward, the committee proposed priorities such as deeper engagement with coordinated-entry implementation, surveys and continuous improvement feedback loops for clients, and developing tenant- and provider-focused resources to support housing stability.
