The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need to address homelessness at the local level. Community Solutions and counties in the Built for Zero movement are working to end homelessness – and proving that it is possible. Data-driven thinking and a system-wide approach can build a future where homelessness is rare overall and brief when it occurs. Half of the 89 communities that form part of the Built for Zero movement have achieved measurable reductions, and 14 have ended homelessness for a population by achieving a milestone known as functional zero. Join NACo, Community Solutions and Built for Zero leaders that have achieved functional zero for a discussion on innovative approaches to measurably and equitably end homelessness.
