Ending Homelessness

Faces of Homelessness

Homelessness exists in the Fairfax-Falls Church community and it comes in many faces (families, children, single adults, diverse populations, those with disabilities and mental illness) and in many places (shelters, transitional housing, apartments, motels, outdoors). The Fairfax-Falls Church community manages homelessness; now, it wants to prevent and end homelessness.

The community has developed four strategies to guide the effort to prevent and end homelessness.

  1. Prevent Homelessness Due to Economic Crisis and/or Disability
  2. Preserve and Increase Affordable Housing Supply
  3. Deliver Services to Obtain and Maintain Stable Housing
  4. Create a Management System and Ensure Accountability

It will take a community of partners to implement this plan. It will also take individuals to comment and act upon the strategies.
