It should also include recommendations for families whose children are temporarily staying with relatives while parents remain unsheltered, sleeping in vehicles, or otherwise experiencing homelessness, including how these families can access appropriate housing services and other system supports. Strategies to facilitate access of families to available permanent housing resources when consistent with applicable occupancy standards, requirements for both subsidies and units, and property owner policies, in order to maximize housing opportunities and reduce the length of time families remain in interim housing.
