** Paving the way for a tipping point

How we’re working to make homelessness rare and brief
Systems are designed by people — and they can be redesigned. Through Built for Zero, we support communities in shifting their mindsets and systems from managing the homelessness crisis to eliminating it.
As we help these communities demonstrate that it is possible to make homelessness rare and brief, we are also priming broader conditions so any community will be able to do the same.
