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. 5/16/2018 Housing Stability for All Minnesotans | www.headinghomeminnesota.org 18
