Where homelessness solutions move from conversation to collaboration
The Homeless Solutions Network is a national community for people working to prevent and end homelessness – bringing practitioners, advocates, researchers, policymakers, and people with lived experience together to learn, share, and build better solutions.
Working on homelessness can feel isolating.
It doesn’t have to be.
Across the country, people are tackling the same challenges – funding uncertainty, policy shifts, data gaps, system fragmentation – often in silos. The Homeless Solutions Network exists to connect those dots.
This is a space to ask real questions, share what’s working (and what’s not), and stay grounded in practical, people-centered solutions.
