Research and story gathering -- We know data is critical in changing the conversation about homelessness. THANK YOU to everyone here who has shared their data. We’ll continue to gather community data, collect stories about your work and success, and report on it in ways that build community awareness and support. Listening and learning -- If we want to open doors to housing, we have to open doors within our own homeless system. Many of the barriers you face are likely experienced by other organizations within the system. Through specialized support and resources, the Coalition will enhance connections and conversations, so you have more tools to be part of ending homelessness. Planning and advocacy – With stronger data and more connected partners, we can create momentum needed to guide planning and funding efforts toward long-term change. Your organization will continue to play a role in how decisions are made about the homeless system, and we will engage more community leaders to support your work and spark conversations outside the system.
Data was developed by household size and income level – many more breakdowns and findings are available in the full report.
More details about the report and these tips are available in the service provider section of the website
