Does “ending chronic homelessness” mean that there are never any persons without a home?
Ending chronic homelessness does not mean that there will never be a chronically homeless person in the county. It does mean that we identify persons at risk of losing their home and prevent them from becoming homeless. It means that we identify people without housing and quickly provide them safe and appropriate short-term and long-term housing options and that people are given the services necessary to move from short-term solutions to stable long-term housing as quickly as possible.
