Can you imagine living in a community that has solved homelessness?

A world where when an emergency arises. a person can get the support they need to remain in housing. And if they ever lose their home, they are moved into housing quickly by a system that knows them and what they need. Homelessness is rare, brief when it happens, and never becomes a way of life. 

The truth is, we don’t have to just imagine it.

Homelessness is solvable

Homelessness is a big and complex problem — but it is not one too big or complex to be solved. 

And while it affects those who experience it in the deepest way, it affects less than 1% of the population. Communities can build systems that continually eliminate it, and ensure everyone has a place to call home and live with dignity.

We can take steps together, toward a future where homelessness being rare and brief is the norm, not the exception.
