Project:
Transitional Age Youth (TAY) System Expansion
Services:
Facilitation | Implementation | Strategy
Description:
HJC partnered with the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services & Housing (HSH) to lead the community design of a large-scale (up to $100 million over five years) philanthropic investment to expand youth interventions across LA County.
The community design process engaged young adult leaders, providers, and system partners in a series of community workshops to set the goals and interventions of the funding application; established a workgroup, co-led by a young adult leader, to provide a deeper level of program and policy design; and established an ongoing design loop to integrate community input and shared decision-making into the implementation of any intervention funded under the expansion.
HJC will partner with HSH throughout the implementation process to ensure young people, providers, and system partners play an active role in the county’s work to prevent and end youth homelessness.

Chicago CoC Equity Action Plan & Impact Implementation
Services:
Coaching | Facilitation | Implementation Strategy | Tool & Resource Design
Description:
HJC worked with All Chicago and in partnership with CoC Impact Team (a workgroup of the Continuum of Care) to facilitate the co-design and implementation of a Racial Equity Action Plan based on the findings of a landscape analysis provided by Arc4 Justice.
The action plan provided an accountability structure for moving the work forward, including definition and consensus on goals and metrics, timelines and benchmarks; identification of key decision makers within the CoC; assessment of tools and resources needed; anticipating and troubleshooting bottlenecks and blindspots to build trust and transparency across teams.
HJC also worked with All Chicago to implement priority strategies identified in the action plan, including co-designing tools and resources, facilitation, and coaching.
Housing Justice Collective has partnered with our community to advance more equitable and just practices within the Chicago Homeless Response System.
Through their coaching, our community team examines the homeless response system with greater curiosity and accountability, identifying areas for improvement and pursuing necessary structural changes.
This work has challenged us and propelled us toward real change—not merely good intentions. HJC consistently encourages growth, grounding their approach in a shared commitment to making this work not only impactful, but irresistible.
