What's New?

April 14, 2010

New to the Lyceum site:

We've added a new brief to the Chronic Homelessness section. Chronic Homelessness: Policy Solutions from the National Alliance to End Homelessness includes information on who experiences chronic homelessness; the progress made in reducing chronic homelessness; federal policies and local practices that contributed to that progress; and what policymakers can do to finish the job of ending chronic homelessness.

Also, the Homelessness Prevention section now features Costs Associated with First-Time Homelessness from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This study measures costs associated with first-time homeless families and individuals incurred by homeless and mainstream service delivery systems in six communities. It presents ideas for cost savings, and it advances an approach for measuring costs that can help communities understand the cost-effectiveness of different homelessness interventions.
