State and Local Governments
Join Opening Doors Across America
The work of ending homelessness does not happen on the national level, it happens on the local level, in states, cities, towns, and counties. Without state and local governments taking initiative and implementing successful strategies to achieve measurable results, our nation will not achieve the goals laid out in Opening Doors: to end chronic homelessness and homelessness among Veterans by 2015, to end homelessness among families, youth, and children by 2020 and to set a path to ending all types of homelessness.
