Elected Leadership Group

The Elected Leadership Group is made up of elected officials from various governments within Pierce County. They will determine the scope of the project by deciding which issues around homeless response they want to solve together.  This group will guide the project by establishing the project’s guiding principles and vision.  They will build consensus among themselves on recommendations from the Task Forces. And they will advocate for those recommendations in their jurisdictions so they can be implemented across the County.

The responsibilities of the Elected Leadership Group include active participation (no alternates are allowed), maintaining positive communication, representing their jurisdiction’s and their individual perspectives, acknowledging and addressing conflicts, serving as a conduit for information, leveraging resources and information, and advocating for recommendations in a collaborative manner.  The Elected Leadership Group will meet four times in the Design Phase and attend the Implementation Phase Kick-Off in March 2026.
