Overview of This Effort
This effort is increasing the accessibility and availability of affordable and income-aligned housing throughout the region and improving educational and workforce outcomes for community members living in affordable housing.
The Challenge We’re Working to Address
*RMP uses the McKinney-Vento definition of homelessness when discussing the housing situations of youth because it provides a more holistic picture of housing instability.
“I think a lot of people are suffering [because of COVID-19]. I also think a lot of people are going to need to seek out homeless shelters. There is going to be a lot of poverty. It’s sad to say, but I think it’s going to happen. I think food access will be okay – there are a lot of resources in the community you can count on. But, housing – no. You can’t count on it. It’s not guaranteed.” “
