Homeless and Housing Solutions Network: A Path to Ending Chronic Homelessness
As the capital city of Kansas grapples with the complex issue of homelessness, the Compassion Strategies, All Hands On Deck campaign to end chronic homelessness in Topeka and Shawnee county by 2030 has created the “Homeless and Housing Solutions Network” (HSN) with a bold, unwavering goal: to end chronic homelessness.
This ambitious mission is not just about managing chronic homelessness, but about eliminating chronic homelessness altogether, providing a comprehensive, compassionate, and transformative pathway for individuals to move from crisis to long-term stability. At its core, the Homeless and Housing Solutions Network believes that everyone deserves a safe place to call home and the support to rebuild their lives, free from the cycle of chronic homelessness.

An important note: We recognize that individuals may enter this system at different points depending on their individual circumstances. While there are priorities outlined in a somewhat linear fashion below, we recognize that individuals will have options about the services they wish to access that meet their individual needs and wants.
