Systems are designed by people — and they can be redesigned to better serve people.
Through the Built for Zero network, we support 132 communities in changing how they approach homelessness to ensure everyone has a home.
We work with communities to build resilient community housing systems where everyone works together, using data-driven methodologies, to solve homelessness.
More than 40% have achieved a measurable reduction in homelessness and are showing that every type of community can build a housing system that steadily makes homelessness rare and brief.
