Blueprint to End Homelessness
The Blueprint to End Homelessness is a ten-year strategy for how we can both prevent and end homelessness in Indianapolis. This plan has received broad community support and has been lauded as a model by national experts on ending homelessness. Building on the core approach of Housing First, Housing Plus, the Blueprint focuses on the following goals:
- Strengthening efforts to prevent people from becoming homeless;
- Improving access to, and coordination of, housing and services;
- Enhancing services in specific areas of need; and
- Coordinating service systems for special populations, including families, veterans, youth and survivors of domestic violence.
The successful implementation of the initiatives outlined in the Blueprint to End Homelessness will result in the following outcomes:
- Increased numbers of people in housing crises who are prevented from becoming homeless;
- Decreased levels of chronic homelessness and/or the number of persons living on the streets;
- Decreased overall amount of time people spend on the streets and in shelters;
- Decreased rates of recidivism
- Increased enrollment in mainstream benefits among those who are eligible.
