Theory of ChangeTo achieve functional zero :
• People experiencing homelessness, particularly people of color, contribute to policy development and funding decisions
• Local capacity is built through targeted training and technical assistance provided by leaders and trainers of color
• Racial equity principles are integrated in all funding and policy decisions
• System performance data is disaggregated by race and evaluated by outcomes for people of color experiencing homelessness
• Policies and services are developed and implemented through a targeted universalism framework
