Our mission is to create a lasting end to homelessness that leaves no one behind. We envision a more equitable society where homelessness is never inevitable, inescapable, or a way of life.

We don’t simply believe that all communities have the power to end homelessness — we work with the cities and counties making it a reality every day. 

Community Solutions is a nonprofit that leads Built for Zero, a movement of more than 80 cities and counties using data to radically change how they work and the impact they can achieve — and proving that it is possible to make homelessness rare and brief. A growing number of communities across the country are proving this is an achievable reality by reaching a milestone known as functional zero. 

In order to propel this movement to end homelessness up and over a tipping point, we are working with communities to solve the most persistent challenges that stand in the way. With rigor and data-driven solutions, we are working with communities to:

• prevent inflow into homelessness from happening in the first place;

• build and sustain homeless response systems that can continuously end, rather than manage, homelessness for populations across a geography;

• and quickly deliver affordable housing that can close the housing gap.

Together, we are proving that homelessness is solvable.
