"Houston's Effective Homelessness Reduction Strategy Unveiled"
Houston has successfully reduced homelessness by implementing the "Housing First" concept, which focuses on getting the unhoused into their own apartments and providing the necessary services to stabilize their lives. The city's approach involves coordinating various agencies under a single umbrella organization, The Way Home, and utilizing affordable apartments and COVID aid to help pay for rentals. Houston's success has led to a 63% decrease in homelessness in the greater Houston area and serves as a model for other cities to follow.
