The Solution

As the affordability crisis pushes more families to the brink of homelessness, early intervention is critical. Right at Home builds on Destination: Home’s proven prevention model, providing rapid, flexible financial assistance and tailored support to stop housing loss before it happens. By acting early, we can keep families safely housed and make prevention the foundation of America’s response.

Our goal is bold but achievable: prevent thousands of families from losing their homes while creating a clear, evidence-based blueprint for a national homelessness prevention strategy. 

The single most obvious solution to homelessness is stopping it before it starts.

Reducing inflow

In Santa Clara County

Across the country, more people are falling into homelessness than our systems can support. Every day, families and individuals face the threat of losing their homes, not by choice, but because safety nets are too weak. The solution is clear: targeted prevention programs that stop homelessness before it starts. Santa Clara County provides proof this works. Its expanding Homelessness Prevention System is helping the county get closer to housing more people than are pushed into homelessness each year.
