Encampment Resolution Guide
Encampment resolution is a strategic approach focused on connecting unsheltered individuals to stable housing rather than displacing them through sweeps. This method employs evidence-based practices to connect people with housing solutions and prevent re-encampment, involving a wide range of stakeholders to address both the needs of the encampment residents and the community’s broader concerns. This approach not only reduces trauma associated with displacement but also promotes sustainable responses to homelessness. Our Encampment Resolution Guide is designed to work in conjunction with our Encampment Prioritization Tool, enhancing the effectiveness of this comprehensive strategy.
This guide outlines a comprehensive protocol for encampment resolution, encouraging policymakers and practitioners to prioritize housing and engage in meaningful investments to ensure long-term success in addressing unsheltered homelessness.
