Problem Solving Success

One or more nights: • It is ideal for people to exit homelessness permanently to safe

housing as a result of Problem Solving, but temporary stays outside of the Homeless Response System are also successes

• For example, a person or family might stay with friends, family or former roommates temporarily

Outside of the Homeless Response System: • Problem solving leverages the networks and strengths of people

experiencing homelessness to identify safe locations for a person to live or stay.

**Shelters, transitional housing, and hotel vouchers are part of the Homeless Response System, not Problem Solving

Problem Solving FAQ

Is Problem Solving all about financial assistance? • No, Problem Solving is all about helping people experiencing

homelessness identify a safe place to stay outside of the Homeless Response System. Most communities learn that most people experiencing homelessness who use Problem Solving do not use financial assistance. We’re just starting to learn in SF.

When will Problem Solving for Youth Experiencing Homelessness start? • November 2018
