The National Center on Family Homelessness is determined to end family homelessness. Although sheltering a family provides safe haven, this is only temporary. By addressing the issues that lead to homelessness, families can change their lives forever.
Through research, the center learns what families need to rebound from the economic, social, medical, and mental health problems that put them on the streets. Through program evaluation, it identifies strategies that work.
It uses this knowledge to design innovative practices, bring training and technical assistance to community-based shelters and service providers, and improve policy across the Nation.
