Abstract
This report presents an analysis of the current Hennepin County family shelter system and nationwide practices that target family homelessness. The purpose is to identify areas of opportunity and make recommendations, based on evidence and available models, to lower the number of families using the shelters.
Researchers conducted key informant interviews with 25 professional staff across the Hennepin County shelter system and within 5 communities across the nation and the National Alliance to End Homelessness to both to inform what components of the shelter system required improvement and what practices should be used.
