EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES A VOICEAddressing the
Homeless Problem

A national problem with a local solution is possible

In the effort to ending homelessness efforts have been successfully made to bring together new partners, galvanizing public and private support, and shaping public awareness of what it takes to end homelessness. Current process to count citizens underestimate the problem they provide only a literal count on a given night and not an estimate of the extent of homelessness over the course of a year—a much, much larger number.

As we focus on ending homelessness one person or one family at a time, we are not doing enough to solve the structural causes of homelessness. The lack of affordable housing, wage stagnation, the wealth gap, institutional racism, and inadequate health and social services for people living in poverty can all be causes for homelessness. Unless we figure out the prevention side of things, new homelessness will continue to happen.

Housing

Housing is the essential foundation for ending homelessness. Housing can provide a stable launchpad from which people can begin to find purposeful roles in our community.rition, and find purposeful roles in the community.

Services

Attention towards health, behavioral health, employment and education, and other supports, will result in an end to instability and recurrent homelessness for many people.

Social Connectedness

Creating a strategy for social inclusion and social connectedness must be part of our thinking in our work to end homelessness.

Prevention

Prevention will require a big view that can look across multiple systems to identify pathways into homelessness, then design solutions that catch people before they fall.
