Key objectives are developing a healthy workforce; and supporting innovation, capacity building, economic stimulus, and growth in the region. Affordable Housing and Homelessness The TVC supports balanced solutions which consider housing, jobs, and transportation together and seeks to support, promote, protect, and increase affordability in the region’s housing stock. Key objectives are to work with federal, state, and regional partners to provide funding for affordable housing through a variety of programs and options and to work to address barriers to building housing at Very Low, Low, and Moderate income levels. TVC also remains committed to mitigating and eliminating homelessness, including working with partners at all levels of government to address the root causes of housing insecurity and homelessness. Mental Health The TVC recognizes that social services are vital to supporting residents and providing crucial safety net services in our region. While the TVC cities do not provide direct delivery of social services, the Cities seek to work together to support local non-profits and organizations that do provide these services, and advocate together for these vital resources and services from all levels of government. Mental health support is a growing need in our region, and the TVC seeks to advocate for the resources to meet the needs of all our residents.
