Background
Community Solutions is a “field catalyst” working to align and mobilize actors, locally and nationally, who impact homelessness toward the shared goal of making homelessness rare and brief, everywhere. The organization directly supports more than 140 communities in the US in implementing accountable, community-wide efforts that drive measurable reductions in homelessness . This solutions-focused approach involves rigorous collaboration of the public and private efforts, comprehensive, real-time information on those experiencing homelessness, and increased access to housing.

Reductions in homelessness have been achieved in a diverse and growing array of communities, and solutions-focused policies increasingly drive federal, state, and local responses.
Achieving this “tipping point” requires the political will of elected officials, which in turn requires the expectation and support of community leaders.
