Homelessness is a complex issue that no single program or agency can solve alone. To prevent, reduce and end homelessness, governments and civil society organizations must collaborate and stay fully committed to that goal. Our work is grounded in the belief that everyone has the right to a home and that our communities are stronger, safer, and more vibrant for everyone when homelessness is addressed. Ultimately, the solution to homelessness is housing.
