Heading Home Together Principles and Strategies

5/16/2018 Housing Stability for All Minnesotans | www.headinghomeminnesota.org 15

Heading Home Together Organization Heading Home Together is organized in two levels:

• Seven principles identify the principle ingredients needed to

prevent and end homelessness.

• Each principle contains several strategies that focus and

guide specific activities to achieve those principles.

The Seven Principles

• 1. Identify and engage all people experiencing homelessness.
• 2. Ensure that everyone experiencing or at-risk of homelessness can access

a form of safe and appropriate crisis responses through diversion, prevention, shelter or crisis housing with appropriate services.

• 3. Rapidly link people experiencing homelessness with housing and

services tailored to their needs, prioritizing the most vulnerable.

• 4. Prevent the loss of affordable housing and fill the gap in the number of

affordable and supportive housing opportunities available to people as- risk of or experiencing homelessness.

5/16/2018 Housing Stability for All Minnesotans | www.headinghomeminnesota.org 17

The Seven Principles

• 5. Use a person-centered, trauma-informed, Housing First orientation

in our response to homelessness.

• 6. Help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness increase

employment and income.

• 7. Organize plans and partnerships and increase system capacity to

prevent and end homelessness on an ongoing basis.
