USING DATA TO MAKE OUR CASE:

HOW CHANGE WILL HAPPEN

In Santa Clara County, 7,500 people are without a home on any given night. Of those, 2,500 are considered chronically homeless. The solution is this: permanent, sustainable housing for all, and resources built to last for the long term. It’s time to stop managing homelessness, and end it.

We are achieving this by moving forward with a three pronged Community Plan to End Homelessness Community Plan to End Homelessness.

Disrupt Systems

Develop disruptive strategies and innovative prototypes that transform the systems related to housing homeless people. disruptive_innovation

Build the Solution

Serve the Person

Adopt an approach that recognizes the need for client-centered strategies with different responses for different levels of need and different groups, targeting resources to the specific individual or household.

THE SOLUTION

Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing people experiencing homelessness with permanent housing as quickly as possible – and then providing voluntary supportive services as needed. Rapid-Rehousing and prevention services are effective intervention methods for individuals and families who have recently become homeless or who are at risk of homelessness.
