WE CAN END HOMELESSNESS!

a movement of communities
getting measurable results.






BUILT FOR ZERO IS A MOVEMENT OF MORE THAN 80 CITIES AND COUNTIES WORKING TO
SOLVE HOMELESSNESS, ONE POPULATION AT A TIME.

to be solved. Video by Eido





WHAT IS THE BUILT FOR ZERO COLLABORATIVE?

Built for Zero is a methodology, a movement, and proof of what is possible. The
Collaborative is made up of more than 80 cities and counties that have committed
to measurably ending homelessness, one population at a time. Using data, these
communities have changed how local homeless response systems work and the impact
they can achieve.

Fourteen of our communities have ended homelessness for a population by reaching
a standard called functional zero. More than half of those cities and counties
have achieved reductions in the number of people experiencing chronic and
veteran homelessness.

Together, we are proving that moral courage, data-driven thinking, and a
system-wide approach can build a future where homelessness is rare overall and
brief when it occurs.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




HOW IT WORKS

REAL-TIME DATA

Homelessness is constantly changing. You’ll start by building a comprehensive,
real-time, by-name list of all single adults experiencing homelessness in your
community.


REDUCE TO ZERO

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. You’ll learn the science of rapid cycle
testing to find out what works to reduce homelessness and build equitable
outcomes in your community.


ZERO FOR ALL

Sustainability is the real end game. After reaching your first zero, you’ll
focus on maintaining your progress as you expand your focus to new populations.
