Reducing Homelessness in Mesa

Font Size: + -

Our vision for homelessness is "functional zero."

Reducing homelessness is a complex, human issue. There is no single solution that fits every person or situation. Also, the number of homeless is not static. People are moving in and out of homelessness daily. Undoubtedly, in the United States and abroad, people will experience poverty and the complexities of human crisis. We will never eradicate homelessness, but we believe we can decrease the ebb and flow of homelessness in Mesa to the level of "functional zero."

What is "functional zero?"

We have reached "functional zero" when, at any point in time, the number of homeless in Mesa (sheltered or unsheltered) is less than Mesa's average monthly housing placement for homeless individuals.
