Housing-first model

The first state-funded homelessness report to look at the crisis across Colorado came out on Monday, April 28, with an estimate that nearly 53,000 people are experiencing homelessness statewide.

The recommended solution sets it apart from another report published just a couple of weeks ago.

“Homelessness ends with a home,” The Colorado State of Homelessness Report 2024 urges in its call to action. “Every part of the homelessness response system — from street outreach to emergency shelter — must stay focused on connecting people to permanent housing as quickly as possible.”
