We need three things to reduce homelessness: enough housing, an outcomes-focused response system, and targeted help for people in need.
With all three, we can reduce homelessness in the short-term.
And, in the long-term, we can make homelessness rare overall, brief when it occurs, and non-recurring — so that when people exit homelessness, they exit for good.

Fortitude and Catholic Charities spent the afternoon with Red Cross volunteer Maria and their shelter residents, making plans with each one to ensure they are connected to housing once they close.
Maria stated our community has been one of the best to work with after a disaster. This is NOT surprising to us! Many thanks and kudos to everyone, every business, and every organization that has played a part in picking up the pieces. I’m so thankful our homeless provider network is able to take over from Red Cross the rebuilding of lives interrupted.
