Goal |
|
In order for us to achieve our goal, we need to engage elected officials, housing resources, the behavioral health system, and other systems of care. And, we need to decrease barriers to integrate all people experiencing homelessness into our community. When we have accomplished this, homelessness will be rare, brief and non-recurring. We invite all Washtenaw County community members to join us in this effort!

Progress

We've housed
106 Chronically Homeless people since January 2015 but because more become homeless everyday, 15 people still need to be housed by the end of 2016 to get to zero.j
