Many U.S. communities face the challenge of unsheltered homelessness, and recent rulings have allowed local governments to criminalize basic activities. However, Housing Focused Outreach, showcased by Michigan's Community Rebuilders and Community Housing Network, offers a compassionate, cost-effective solution that emphasizes housing first across a variety of geographic settings. This approach not only reduces law enforcement costs but also revitalizes public spaces and fosters community inclusivity.
