The Ten Essentials

The National Alliance to End Homelessness created the following checklist as a guide to help communities identify effective permanent solutions to prevent and end homelessness.  No essential is more important than another. All require participation from every sector of the community.

The Ten Essentials are based on the Alliance's Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness.  This plan, supported by research and grounded in practical experience, outlines a blueprint for communities to follow.
