Скачать или смотреть Fremont County, Colorado Reaches Functional Zero For Veteran Homelessness

In November 2019, nine leaders from Fremont, Colorado, attended their first Built for Zero Learning Session, where they met 75 communities working to end homelessness.

The team included their city council member — who would eventually become their mayor — and several other local leaders. The challenges they faced were clear. They operated in a rural, low-resource environment. They did not have a robust outreach strategy, They did not have someone to conduct housing navigation.

None of that mattered. Just a few weeks later, they hosted a town hall where they announced they were going to end veteran homelessness.

Fremont County, Colorado, has now reached functional zero for veteran homelessness. By reaching this milestone, they have created a reality where fewer veterans are experiencing homelessness than can be routinely housed — ensuring veteran homelessness is rare and brief.
