Family Advisory Committee

The Family Advisory Committee (FAC) gives Compass parents the compensated opportunity to have their feedback integrated in both Compass and citywide planning processes. As a part of the FAC, members meet twice a month for six months to engage in advocacy and build relationships with community partners. FAC members additionally have a platform to meet directly with policymakers to voice their perspectives on needed investments into the family social safety net via the city/county and state legislative and budget processes. The voices and lived experiences of families provide crucial insight that cannot always be captured by numbers and data, ensuring that policymakers are aware and informed of the nuances of family homelessness and can adjust future service delivery accordingly.
