The Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services developed a Strategic Investment Plan to prioritize key resources used to prevent and end homelessness in Baltimore.
The Strategic Investment Plan was guided by multiple community engagement activities and feedback from a diverse group of stakeholders including the Continuum of Care (CoC), CoC Lived Experience Advisory Committee, Baltimore City Youth Action Board, MOHS staff, non-profit service providers, and government partners.
A Leadership Team of 14 people was formed to guide the implementation of this strategic investment planning process. This team is comprised of City staff, CoC leaders, people with lived expertise of homelessness, and representatives from other organizations actively engaged in responding to homelessness in Baltimore.

MOHS’ planning consultants developed summary lists of the investment ideas generated through these listening sessions. The Action Areas are as follows:
- Protecting the Health and Safety of People Experiencing Homelessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic
