2. Problem Solving

Problem Solving and Prevention provides opportunities to prevent people from entering the Homelessness Response System and to redirect people who can resolve their homelessness without the need for ongoing support. It is an approach that empowers households facing a housing crisis to explore and identify possible solutions outside of the Homelessness Response System (i.e. solutions that do not rely on shelter or housing resources).

It is an umbrella term for an array of services and support that seeks to quickly resolve housing crises and prevent the need for any, or additional, Homelessness Response System interventions.
