HKS Government Performance Lab’s Post

Today we’re announcing that three jurisdictions – Chicago, Colorado, and Detroit – have been selected to participate in our inaugural Homelessness Prevention & Rehousing Accelerator. This new initiative is designed to help state and local jurisdictions test early interventions to prevent individuals from becoming homeless and to improve the rehousing process for those who are currently homeless.    “Jurisdictions know that to sustainably reduce homelessness, they need both a comprehensive prevention strategy to curb inflow and bold approaches to reimagine the rehousing process,” said Carin Clary, GPL Director of Homelessness & Housing. “Cities and states of all sizes are asking how to better coordinate housing assistance within the community and how to make the subsidized housing process faster, smoother, and more effective for both households and housing partners. Throughout the application process, leaders said they need help to design, test, and scale innovations. Through the Homelessness Prevention & Rehousing Accelerator, the GPL will support these jurisdictions to advance this urgent work.”    Learn more about the Homelessness Prevention & Rehousing Accelerator below.
