System Transformation Initiative (STI)
STI is named from the city’s strategic plan to reorganize the District’s budgetary resources for homeless families to support an intensive plan to close D.C. Village, a housing complex for low-income families. The goal was to transition families from temporary to permanent housing and, subsequently, to self sufficiency. Each Collaborative contributed to the success of the city's effort to move a significant number of families out of D.C. Village during the first year. The following years involved intensive case management in order to maintain and advance the goals achieved by families. This program is funded by the Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness.
