Michigan planted itself firmly in the National Partnership of results oriented, performance based, jurisdictionally led, and community based 10-year planning efforts with the simultaneous unveiling of 60 community commitments to 10-Year Plans to End Homelessness covering 100% of Michigan's 83 counties. This unprecedented state achievement of 100% participation was celebrated at a two day Michigan Homeless Summit held in Lansing attended by more than 650 people that marked the official launch of Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness. Homeless advocates from around the country, state and local officials, and service providers came together to celebrate the completion of the plans on the first day of the conference. The second day was devoted to implementation strategies, as leaders attempted to equip the counties with the tools they need to move forward with the ten year plans. This development in Michigan significantly increases the number of completed ten year plans around the country.
