Ending Homelessness: Maine's Strategic Plan
Description:
Before presenting a strategy to end
homelessness, this report provides an
overview of the problem. The first section
illustrates the nature of the problem through a
description of the homeless population and
the root causes of homelessness. We then
highlight the problem here in the state of
Maine through a review of data and interviews
with shelter operators. This is followed by a
brief discussion of the current efforts
underway to address the homeless problem,
along with some of the challenges faced by
homeless individuals when they attempt to
access housing and services. Finally, this
report outlines a new strategy. The strategy
section recommends a new organizational
structure, a planning and evaluation process,
resource allocation methods and public leadership to support this effort. (Author)
