Adequately housing a region's population requires ongoing coordination among public and
<br />private plans, investments, and decisions. This plan outlines regional goals and aspirations
<br />to better align infrastructure investments, funder and investor priorities, and local planning.
<br />This plan has five parts:
<br />• Part I introduces the plan and outlines the demographic and socioeconomic challenges
<br />defining the region's housing future.
<br />• Part 11 outlines Council roles, local responsibilities, and local opportunities to use
<br />housing to advance the five Thrive outcomes —stewardship, prosperity, equity, livability,
<br />and sustainability—within the framework of the three Thrive principles —integration,
<br />collaboration, and accountability. Part II includes the indicators that the Council will use to
<br />monitor the success of this plan.
<br />• Part III delves more deeply into the core Council housing policies and functions.
<br />• Part IV describes several opportunities for collaboration, that is, housing issues that are
<br />broader and more complex than any single agency or organization can advance alone.
<br />• Part V identifies the next steps for the Council in implementing this plan.
