With a shelter system at capacity and rapidly increasing motel numbers, it is time to review and double the efforts that have been made in addressing, preventing and eradicating family homelessness. Now more than ever, we need to reach across sectors and communities to develop and implement sustainable and lasting solutions to ensure that all families across the Commonwealth have a safe, stable place to call home.
