Beacon specializes in this kind of housing because it is a proven solution to prevent cycles of homelessness and help people from falling back into homelessness. By providing a stable and long-term housing solution combined with supportive services tailored to the individual’s needs, permanent supportive housing addresses the root causes of homelessness, such as mental health issues, substance abuse, and lack of employment opportunities. This approach provides a stable foundation for people experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives, gain independence, and achieve lasting housing stability.
However, Beacon’s work goes beyond just building affordable homes. It also aims to change policies and systems at the local, regional, and state level by organizing around our shared values and reminding lawmakers to prioritize housing as an indispensable part of a strong, prosperous community. Beacon believes that the current system is not working for everyone, and they work to change it by focusing investment on the most vulnerable people in society. They raise their voices in solidarity with those experiencing homelessness and those with low incomes, working towards creating a society where everyone has a safe and comfortable home.
