Announcing the first federal homelessness prevention framework
The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) has formally adopted and released Ending Homelessness Before It Starts: A Federal Homelessness Prevention Framework, which was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies that make up USICH.
The framework—which is the first-of-its-kind at the federal level—was informed by people with lived experience of homelessness. It's a guide intended for a wide range of partners, including local, tribal, and state governments; nonprofits, funders, systems, providers, and advocates of housing, health, human services, justice, education, employment, child welfare, and emergency services.
“We end homelessness every day for thousands of people. But for every person housed, more lose their home,” says USICH Director Jeff Olivet. “To make progress toward ending homelessness as we know it, we must close this revolving door and prevent homelessness before it starts.
Mathematica is proud to have been part of the research team informing this framework.
