One detail, the omnibus includes a provision making tribes eligible for Continuum of Care funding for the first time since 1998. Those interested, please be in touch

[Steve Berg @sberg0]

To be precise, grants under the Continuum of Care for FY19 will be renewed noncompetitively for FY20, hopefully not too long from now. There is funding for new programs in FY20, a competition will be announced for that. Should be hearing more details from HUD shortly

We're still waiting for Congress to pass adequate, urgently needed #COVIDRelief. While we wait, here are the analyses we put out this week on millions of Americans facing hardship, how states can raise revenue, and more: https://t.co/jdbXN7COEo

[Focus Strategies @FocusStratCA]

@SimhaReddyMD @bjpoppe @annymoliva @m_j_doherty @mlfudge Good & important questions. Difficult to assess because of the # of variables. We know that homeless system resources can be shifted to do ⬆️of what works & ⬇️of what doesn't. Prioritizing available resources for solutions that are high performing locally is a good strategy

[Focus Strategies @FocusStratCA]

Good to see our evaluation noted - performance analysis is essential to identifying the problems that need to be solved @Megan_KS_

[Barbara J Poppe @bjpoppe]

@annymoliva @m_j_doherty offer their analysis - I hope the #BidenHarrisTransition and @mlfudge take these findings to heart. #HousingFirst
