Many communities are establishing practical plans to end homelessness. A cornerstone of the larger campaigns to end homelessness for all Americans is this national initiative, to create much more supportive housing in order to end long-term homelessness within ten years.

Supportive housing works to provide stable homes and effective supportive services for families with special needs, people with disabilities, and others who would otherwise remain homeless for the long term, and generates significant public savings by reducing the need for costly emergency and institutional care.
