Equity Analysis
Equity Analysis
Experiences of homelessness, and in some instances, outcomes within the homelessness response system, are impacted by institutional and societal disparities — particularly as it relates to disparate incidents and outcomes amongst people of color.
Supportive Housing Technical Assistance
Supportive Housing Technical Assistance
We provide a range of flexible technical assistance to support the production and operation of permanent supportive housing (PSH). Our clients include supportive housing developers, program providers, and State and local government agencies.
Systems Planning & Performance
Systems Planning & Performance
We lead the field in designing and implementing systematic responses to homelessness using powerful analytics and leveraging community strengths. Strong programs and committed providers alone are not enough to create measurable and visible reductions in the number of people who are unhoused.
Housing Market Analysis
Housing Market Analysis
To determine how best to reduce homelessness, communities must know how to prioritize and target resources to reduce inflow, maximize homeless system performance, and increase outflow to housing. Using proprietary data processes, Focus Strategies helps clients identify key characteristics of the housing market at two distinct levels to help inform system planning and understand housing needs.
