New feature from @Housing360 shows what could happen when communities address the underlying causes of homelessness rather than continuing the status quo. https://t.co/lCqAM178nR DevlinHanson @GillespieSarah_ @AlyseOneto @JesseJannetta katie fallon

.@GillespieSarah_: "Supportive housing ends homelessness. It ends the cycle of jail and emergency health care, and it reduces the public costs of that cycle." (via @ErinOtoole1) https://t.co/fAUrMQlANF

[Sarah Gillespie @GillespieSarah_]

Spoiler alert: it was a big success!

[KUNC Colorado @KUNC]

Five years ago, Denver launched a program to provide supportive housing and social services to people experiencing homelessness. How successful was it? @urbaninstitute’s @GillespieSarah_ answers that question and more, today on #ColoradoEdition. https://t.co/4KhoKbJM1Z

There’s so much to dig into from the @urbaninstitute Denver SIB findings. Our analysis of health care outcomes (thanks to @evidence4action) finds supportive housing helped people use less emergency health care & more office-based health care: https://t.co/0KaUPUXJQf

[Sarah Gillespie @GillespieSarah_]

It’s been a long time coming! Forever impressed by how @COCoalition @MHCD_News @CSHInfo @CityofDenver & all the SIB partners do what they do.

So much gratitude for the work of Promise Neighborhoods and Full Service Community Schools this year. As @MrKwameOK and our other morning conference speakers said- you were made for a moment like this. #PromiseNeighborhoods2020 @urbaninstitute

“There’s a saying on City Hall that calls Camden ‘a city invincible.’ But I think more than that, it’s a city resilient.” How Promise Neighborhoods are working with residents to weather crises & transform communities: https://t.co/udey6xeG34 #PromiseNeighborhoods2020

How has Mission Promise Neighborhood pivoted during #COVID19 to ensure Latinx families are still best supported? How is #affordablehousing still front and center? And how does Results-Based Accountability measure impact? Blog @ https://t.co/PqxTqQ6KjP. #PromiseNeighborhoods2020

Many cities respond to chronic homelessness using police. @UrbanInstitute shares why putting housing first is more effective https://t.co/4Edjf5wb43

Not a single cent of the $484 billion in funding in the 4th stimulus bill will help struggling Americans pay rent. 40% of renters may be unemployed and unable to pay their share of the $50 billion in rent due next week. https://t.co/e5azSc27zo

Key points from @marykcunningham @thesamanthab on Critical Value today:
1. The homeless and those at risk are vulnerable + can overwhelm the health system if sick
2. We need to get people housed + stop evictions
3. This will require a huge response

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: homelessness is a solvable problem. @marykcunningham and I wrote about what it takes.

[End Homelessness @naehomelessness]

Effective shelters should:
🏠 offer immediate & low-barrier access to anyone facing a housing crisis
🏠 measure shelter performance to improve results
🏠 embrace a Housing First approach
