🌟 Atlanta's Innovative Approach to Homelessness 🌟 What if, instead of criminalizing homelessness, we provided real solutions? 🤔🏠 In the Built for Zero community of Atlanta, a transformative initiative is doing just that. By diverting people experiencing homelessness from the criminal justice system to housing solutions, the city is making a profound impact. “Atlanta police have really continued to impress me. They will say that homelessness is not a crime and that we can’t arrest our way [out of] this situation.” — Cathryn Vassel, CEO of Partners for HOME #HomelessnessIsSolvable 🔗 Read the full story! https://bit.ly/4cJwY0W

📢🧠🏡 Understanding the link between mental health and homelessness is crucial. Many people experiencing homelessness with mental illness face immense adversity and trauma. Understanding this is key to providing compassionate care. Many symptoms of mental illness are invisible, which introduces another set of challenges, such as identifying community mental health needs, helping individuals seek the mental health care they need, and supporting primary and secondary prevention of mental illness in the community.

🏡 Ending homelessness is the result of hard work toward creating a new reality where homelessness remains rare and brief. When a community reaches functional zero for a specific population, it means they have fewer people experiencing homelessness than those accessing safe and stable, permanent housing.

🌍 ☀️ Climate change will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations in the U.S. who are at greater risk of experiencing homelessness. Social inequities will worsen in the aftermath of catastrophic weather events. For many people on the margins, extreme weather events due to climate change can be a tipping point into homelessness.
