California Interagency Council On Homelessness

The Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) was created in 2017 to oversee the implementation of “Housing First” policies, guidelines, and regulations to reduce the prevalence and duration of homelessness in California. The Council's mission is to develop policies, identify resources, benefits, and services to prevent and work toward ending homelessness in California. The Council consists of up to nineteen members, representing ten state agency heads or their designees, seven members appointed by the Governor representing statewide organizations and homeless advocacy groups, one stakeholder appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, and one stakeholder appointed by Speaker of the Assembly. HCFC administers the Homeless Data Integration System (HDIS), a statewide data warehouse for California homelessness data.
