Homelessness Prevention
The best way to end homelessness is to prevent it. Providing eviction prevention services like rent subsidies, assistance with utilities, case management, or mediation with landlords are cost-effective ways of keeping individuals and families in their homes, not on the streets. Homelessness prevention has come to the forefront of the national agenda with the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Federal Stimulus). Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the HPRP provides $1.5 billion to prevent homelessness and minimize the length of time that people are homeless through rapid re-housing.
