Ending Family Homelessness

Last updated on November 30, 2018

What's Driving Progress

To prevent families with children from experiencing homelessness, and to make sure that when families do experience homelessness they can quickly regain permanent housing, communities need robust, coordinated systems, focused on shared outcomes. Recent federal, state, and local action has focused on:

• Aligning data among federal programs
• Strengthening housing solutions specifically for families
• Deepening partnerships with domestic violence service providers
• Strengthening education outcomes for young children experiencing homelessness
