A story that will remain as important in 2025 and the years ahead, as it was last year. If you're not familiar with our paper on the intergovernmental challenges of reducing homelessness, give it a read! https://lnkd.in/ekr6ftk9
"The United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country, federal officials said Friday." - The Associated Press This fall, a report released by the Academy's Homelessness Working Group brought together experts and civil servants well-versed in the challenges of tackling homelessness. The authors, led by Academy Fellows Richard Callahan and Steve Redburn, engaged in depth with people face-to-face with the practical administrative challenges homelessness presents to communities nationwide. Rather than make definitive recommendations to agencies and leaders, the group chose a different approach – posing a series of leading questions to people at all levels in the intergovernmental system and inviting future research on these questions. Learn a bit more about this unique working group report at the link in the comments, where you can download the report and listen to an episode of Management Matters!
