In 2024, 3,280 people were experiencing homelessness across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. Since 2020, we've seen a 17% decrease in overall homelessness and a 33% drop in unsheltered homelessness. Thanks to Houston's Housing First model, homelessness has been reduced by an incredible 60% since 2011! But as COVID-19 relief funding comes to an end, we need $50 million annually to sustain this progress. Without continued funding, homelessness could rise by 60% again by 2026. ?? Houston's success has been built on strong collaboration with local leaders, public-private partnerships, and a commitment to permanent housing solutions. Let's keep pushing forward to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home. ??

In 2021, we committed to a transformation of our homelessness response system. We aligned investments to focus on reducing unsheltered homelessness. Together, the All Neighbors Coalition has reduced unsheltered homelessness by 24% since that system transformation began. Our next big milestone is a 50% reduction in unsheltered homelessness as compared to 2021 levels. If we stay the course with continued public and private investments in proven strategies for housing and support services, we can reach this goal by 2026. Together, we will make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in Dallas and Collin counties! #endhomelessness #Housingforward #allneighborscoalition

Did you know Continuums of Care (CoC) are critical in addressing homelessness nationwide? These local planning bodies are responsible for coordinating the full range of services needed to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness in their area—whether it’s a city, county, metro region, or even an entire state. The CoC is a strategic framework designed to address homelessness comprehensively, offering services like outreach, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing. It’s a collaborative effort to tackle the root causes of homelessness and provide lasting stability for individuals and families. At HomeAid, we work alongside CoCs to bridge gaps in the continuum of care, providing housing and support services that help people transition from homelessness to stability. ??

In recent years, homelessness in New York City has reached?the highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s. In April 2024,?131,940?people slept each night in NYC shelters.?Thousands more?(there is no reliable number, as the annual HOPE estimate is deeply flawed) slept unsheltered in public spaces, and more than?200,000?people slept temporarily doubled-up in the homes of others. Thus, it can be estimated that?more than 350,000?people were without homes in NYC in April 2024. . . . Help us continue our important work! We can end homelessness together, forever. Housing is a fundamental human right. No one should have to worry about where they are going to sleep tonight. ??

SIROW Project Spotlight ??It's Homelessness Awareness Month! At SIROW, we strive to address homelessness in multiple ways. One way is by providing frequent up-to-date reports on housing insecurity indicators for Arizona and Pima County. These reports present the current status of housing security experienced by our local community as well as trends over time in housing security. This information is useful to understand the severity of housing insecurity experienced by our community. It also helps to guide the development and continuation of efforts to decrease homelessness, addressing a basic human need and right for safety and security for everyone. Here is the most recent report: https://lnkd.in/gBpcATJR On an ongoing basis, you can find future reports posted on SIROW's webpage https://sirow.arizona.edu/ Get connected with SIROW’s Keith Bentele who provides the reports: https://lnkd.in/gCmPhzVg

Our organization is centered on ending homelessness, and this Indigenous Peoples’ Day we are mindful of the unique challenges that Indigenous communities face, including homelessness. Indigenous people in America experience homelessness at disproportionately higher rates compared to other groups, a consequence of historical and systemic injustices. For many Indigenous individuals, homelessness is not just a lack of physical shelter but a disconnection from their cultural and community ties. Supporting Indigenous-led initiatives and housing programs across the nation represents a meaningful step towards addressing these challenges. Today, we elevate the powerful work being accomplished at Chief Seattle Club to ensure a world without homelessness. https://lnkd.in/ggRbz7-v
