Do good, greater.
HousingASAP Fact Sheet Homeless families rely on dedicated, results-driven organizations in our community for help with housing, employment, case management, and health care. Family homeless service providers and their committed leaders need and deserve our support. Through the HousingASAP program, a network of providers receives help with capacity building, data practices, program development, leadership coaching, and collaboration. These resources are developing stronger organizations with forward-thinking leadership to improve outcomes for homeless families.
HousingASAP Goal To build a statewide network of homeless service providers who will move more homeless families into stable housing faster and help them stay there.
HousingASAP focuses on four primary strategies to achieve its goal:
1
Form a network that will collaborate, coordinate, and share information with each other.
2
Improve organizational adaptability and leadership.
3
Enhance their performance by using data to make decisions and show achievement.
4
Better equip organizations with skills to influence policy and funding changes.
Results in 2016 In 2016, HousingASAP network organizations placed 238 families into permanent housing — in total, 735 families were placed into permanent housing since 2014.
HousingASAP network members’ emergency shelters moved homeless families into permanent housing 56% faster and reduced the average number of days in shelters from 156 to 69 days.
