Housing First is an evidence-based approach that provides permanent housing as quickly as possible for those experiencing homelessness, along with supportive services to help people stay housed. Effective solutions require data collection to identify needs, collaboration across agencies, prevention strategies like case management and rapid re-housing, as well as interventions like permanent supportive housing and employment assistance. Overcoming obstacles such as lack of affordable housing, resources, and public opposition is also important to successfully address homelessness.
