Unsheltered Homelessness Response

Communities across the country are searching for effective solutions to unsheltered homelessness and encampments. Everyone deserves to feel safe, and everyone needs a safe place to sleep. 

Approaches that rely on fines or arrests often make the problem worse, pushing people further from the services they need. Stable housing paired with support services helps people get off the streets, out of encampments, and on a path to stability.

Our policy solutions help communities reduce visible homelessness, improve public safety, and create healthier neighborhoods by investing in proven approaches that work for both residents and the broader community.

To reduce unsheltered homelessness and create safer communities, we advance targeted policy solutions, including:

Proven policy solutions rely on creating pathways to move from unsheltered homelessness to housing stability.

Clothes, help or hands with donation for homeless person, social project or community relief. Charity, group or people giving blankets for humanitarian aid, distribution or winter with support at NGO

Our California policy work strengthens services and moves people experiencing homelessness from crisis to stability.
