This initiative was guided by a Task Force of leaders, chaired by California State University Long Beach President Jane Conoley, who worked with people experiencing homelessness, students, community members, tenants, employers, property owners and service providers to prepare a comprehensive set of recommendations for review by the Mayor and City Council.
