Technical assistance and staff training and development for agencies involved in the delivery of services to the homeless marks another important factor. The City of St. Louis has made great strides in combating homelessness. It has a unique community-based process via its Homeless Services Network Board that allows maximum participation of various organizations in the delivery of services. Yet, more remains to be done. Better coordination of existing resources, programming aimed at family homelessness, additional transitional and affordable housing, improved case management and follow-up services, diversified funding, increased advocacy and public relations and improved communication and technological advancements.
