???? As leaders, we have the power to transform lives and communities. The reality of chronic homelessness is complex, but Haggerty's pioneering work shows us that addressing it not only uplifts individuals but also saves our cities money in the long run. By investing in supportive housing and services, we can break the cycle of homelessness, emergency care and criminal justice entanglement. Let’s champion sustainable solutions that prioritize human dignity and community well-being. Together, we can rewrite the narrative on homelessness and create a more inclusive society! ?????? #ChronicHomelessness #SocialImpact #CommunityFirst #LeadershipMatters
