Addressing the problem of homelessness is vital to the health of our local economy. (MORE HOUSING) People living in temporary homeless shelters, or outdoors, often lack the stability to address other problems in their lives problems which, unless addressed, will continue to make them vulnerable to homelessness. If we provide more affordable housing, with supportive services, we can break this cycle and reduce homelessness for the long-term. (RESPONSIBILITY) People who are homeless need to take personal responsibility for improving their situation. When they are ready to do so, we should give them the hand up they need not a handout. (HUMAN RIGHT) Safe shelter is a basic human right that should not be denied to anyone in our communities. We need to commit the resources to make sure everyone has a safe place to call home. (ANYONE) Most people tend to experience homelessness because of financial problems, domestic violence, or poor health. These things can happen to anyone, even those who never expected to become homeless. We should do more to address homelessness, because we never know when it could happen to us or someone we love. (COMPASSION) Sometimes individuals face multiple, serious challenges that are hard for most of us to imagine. It s important that we put ourselves in their shoes, and continue to show compassion and make sure everyone in our community has a place to call home where they can live with hope and dignity. (FAMILIES) Over half of the homeless households in Metro Denver are families with children. Children need stability and shelter so they can grow into their full potential. We should help those families to give their children that chance. Prepared by Spark Policy Institute sparkpolicy.com 9
