So perhaps the question is no longer “Can we end homelessness?” but “What’s keeping us from doing what we already know is right?”

Housing First needs prevention to turn individual success stories into population-level impact.
Prevention needs Housing First to show people that homelessness is not inevitable.
One strategy. One budget. One goal: Home for all.

We need more affordable housing - meaning that some of it is also targeted for homeless people.

Homelessness continues to get worse. Should Seattle, and the U.S., still embrace 'Housing First'?
Housing First grew from a fringe practice in cities like Seattle to the U.S.'s guiding philosophy for homelessness response. As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, all that could change.
