Homelessness, particularly unsheltered homelessness, continues to be an issue across the United States and has serious implications for human health. Housing First is an initiative that began in New York City in 1992 to reduce unsheltered homelessness in the city, and has expanded to other states and cities. Minnesota would benefit from the “paradigm shift” afforded by the Housing First approach. Saving money and resources supplements practical needs of the city as well as moral values of human need. This capstone project argues for adopting Housing First and localizing the broader initiative in order to eradicate homelessness in Minnesota and the Twin Cities.
