Built For Zero By Community Solutions – Using Real-Time Data To Measurably End Homelessness: An OPEN MINDS Program Profile

Launched in 2015, Community Solutions’ Built for Zero initiative works with more than 80 communities across the U.S. to measurably end homelessness. The network of cities and counties follow a data-driven approach based on the core elements of the “Built for Zero methodology.” This includes using real-time, person-specific data; building a “command center” with a shared goal of achieving functional zero; and using the data to redesign a community’s homeless response and strategically target resources . . .
