The goal of ending chronic homelessness has achieved national prominence in a very short time. It was first articulated in July 2000, when the National Alliance to End Homelessness included it as part of its ten-year plan to end homelessness altogether. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Mel Martinez announced his agency's acceptance of this goal in his keynote speech at the National Alliance's 2001 conference one year later. Then President Bush made 'ending chronic homelessness in the next decade a top objective' in his FY 2003 Budget. Also by 2003, the Interagency Council on Homelessness had been reinvigorated to guide and coordinate the efforts of Federal agencies, two New York Times lead editorials argued forcefully for that goal, the U. S. Conference of Mayors adopted it, and more than 100 cities and some states have committed themselves to developing a plan by 2004 to end chronic homelessness in the next 10 years.
