Abstract / Description

This strategy guide establishes a framework for the City of Houston/Harris County response to homeless encampments. It provides a system-wide and coordinated response to unsheltered homelessness that focuses on decommissioning large encampments by facilitating access to a full array of permanent housing choices and services options. By pairing targeted and intensive outreach with housing surge events, the Houston community will end homelessness for people living in large encampments and other unsheltered locations and create a response strategy that facilitates a housing response for people who experience unsheltered homelessness in the future.
