On November 16, 2016, President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order to establish a Community Solutions Council. 
The mission and the priorities of “the council shall foster collaboration across agencies, policy councils, and offices to coordinate actions, identify working solutions to share broadly, and develop and implement policy recommendations that put the community-driven, locally led vision at the center of policymaking.”
“The Council will provide a lasting structure for Federal agencies to strengthen partnerships with communities and improve coordination across the Federal Government in order to more efficiently deliver assistance and maximize impact.”
The Executive Order press release and fact sheet are available on the White House website.
