The Community Plan Assessment is a progress report on the community’s implementation of its Community Plan. Communities will assess their progress in addressing homelessness against the Community Homelessness Plan: whether priorities and objectives as outlined in the Community Plan have been achieved; what impact this has had on the community and; how community projects and other activities carried out by the community entities and committees have contributed to the immediate outcomes of the NHI. Community Plan Assessments will assist communities in evaluating program delivery and articulating their results.

Please find below the Community Plan Assessment template as well as a document intended to provide guidelines to assist community groups in understanding the rationale and requirements for Community Plan Assessments in the context of the National Homelessness Initiative (NHI).
