Our take
Community Solutions is a nonprofit organization working towards ending homelessness across the US. It was founded as an extension of Breaking Ground, formerly Common Ground Community, a permanent housing solution for those at risk of homelessness.
The nonprofit has developed the "Built for Zero" movement. It's a data led approach where communities change how local homeless response systems work and the impact they can achieve. Currently over 100 cities & counties are part of it, and 14 of these have already reached a standard called functional zero (ending homelessness for a population).
Community Solutions has also been awarded the MacArthur Foundations #100andChange grant which will give it the backing it needs to pursue its mission of reaching functional zero for chronic or veteran homelessness by 2026. It will be interesting to see how its data led formula can make a difference in the homelessness epidemic.
