Strategies for Reducing Chronic Street Homelessness
(January 2004, 384 P.)
This is an experimental time for programs to reduce chronic
street homelessness. The many communities trying to end chronic
homelessness must learn about successful approaches, construct
their own strategies, and locate the necessary resources to
fulfill their plans. These communities can benefit from the
experiences of homeless service providers who are willing
and able to participate in developing and implementing new
approaches.
HUD sponsored this project to identify and describe community-wide
approaches that reduce homelessness and achieve stable housing
for the difficult-to-serve people who routinely live on the
streets. In visiting communities with a commitment and a community-wide
approach to reducing chronic homelessness, researchers were
able to identify some effective strategies and indicators
of success. This report documents strategies and measures
of effectiveness in a way that will help other communities
trying to address the problem of chronic street homelessness.
