When it comes to a long-term solution, one of the best ways to help end homelessness is to increase access to low rate mortgages and affordable housing for low-income and at risk families and individuals. Dubbed the “Housing First” approach to ending homelessness, this approach is highly effective because support services designed to permanently end homelessness is most effective after low-income and at risk families and individuals have housing.
