he Coalition for the Homeless and The Way Home Continuum of Care believe that we can most effectively help people experiencing homelessness by following the Housing First approach. This approach prioritizes providing permanent housing to individuals experiencing homelessness. Housing First operates on the belief that only after receiving access to safe, secure housing can a person attend to other needs such as finding employment and stabilizing their life.
This also means that people can focus on attending to their mental or physical health issues. If we continue to prioritize a safe home for people experiencing homelessness, we remove many of the barriers they may have previously faced when attempting to access healthcare.
