Goal |
FUNCTIONAL ZERO
Where the number of veterans experiencing homelessness or persons experiencing chronic homelessness is equal or less than the community’s 6-month average housing placement rate for that group. 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! |
