By lowering barriers like sobriety rules, they create welcoming spaces for refuge, services, and stability. Why's it a game-changer? It respects unique journeys out of homelessness. Dignity and compassion empower individuals on their terms, fostering trust. This also significantly increases the effectiveness of wrap-around services. Let's learn and advocate for inclusive solutions. 💙🤝 #HomelessFacts #EmpathyInAction

𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. Here’s a startling statistic: When we prevent first-time shelter use we actually reduce homelessness by 80%. That’s because shelters become more familiar and less scary over time and the reliance on them becomes entrenched. Tracking data for the past 30 years, we know that for those who enter a shelter just once, the return rate is 40%. We also know that when there are supports that open the door to other possibilities, youth never come to identify themselves as homeless. #Attachment #YouthHomelessnessPrevention #RAFT #30thAnniversary
