Systems in Motion Participant Resources
Thank you for participating in Systems in Motion. This page includes the take-home toolkit introduced at the end of the activity. Use it to continue the conversation with your team, community partners, board, coalition, or planning table.
From activity to your community
Systems in Motion helps make visible how pathways can form, expand, narrow, or become harder to change. The System Response Review Toolkit helps communities ask what should happen before certain pathways expand while others shrink.
Use this resource when your community is considering a new or expanded shelter model, enforcement-linked response, involuntary pathway, vendor or data platform, or major funding shift that could reshape how people move through the homelessness response system. The toolkit specifically names those use cases.

What This Is & What This Isn't
This toolkit is:
- A decision-support tool
- A way to identify system pressures
- A guide for clarifying safeguards
- A prompt for stronger questions and practical alternatives
This toolkit is not:
- A legal review
- A pass/fail scorecard
- A substitute for local legal, policy, or lived-experience review
