Responding to the Crisis of Homelessness | USICH Blog Ending homelessness means providing a pathway to stable and permanent housing now for people who are experiencing homelessness. It also means changing the way we respond when people have a housing crisis so that we can prevent homelessness whenever possible or otherwise ensure that homelessness is a rare, brief, and nonrecurring experience. Retooling the Crisis Response System Laura Green Zeilinger, USICH Executive Director, discusses what an end to homelessness means and the need for communities to retool the homeless crisis response system.
