Our 2019-2021 Work Plan

Overview

In 2019, the Vacancy Collaborative released its first work plan, covering 2019 through 2021. As we wrapped up that work plan and moved into our second work plan, we realized the necessity of evaluating our progress in meeting our long-term goals. On this page, you can review our progress assessment of the 2019-2021 Work Plan and our initial work plan document
