Alliance Releases Paper Focused on Family Homelessness
The Alliance recently released Ending Family Homelessness: Lessons from Communities.This paper provides updates on the key strategies to ending family homelessness which were first unveiled in 2006 in Promising Strategies to End Family Homelessness. Strategies examined include shelter diversion, rental assistance, and coordinated intake and assessment. Each strategy section offers a description of how each approach may be carried out, as well as an example of a community that has implemented that strategy well. The paper includes programs from a wide variety of communities such as Portland, OR; Salt Lake City, UT; Clallam County, WA; and regions throughout Massachusetts.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan, non profit organization dedicated to solving the problem of homelessness and preventing its continued growth. www.endhomelessness.org
