HEARTH Act

The HEARTH Act (Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act) is U.S. legislation that refines and improves how communities address homelessness. It emphasizes preventing homelessness, quickly helping those who are homeless move into stable housing, and coordinating services like healthcare and job assistance. The Act encourages a more flexible, outcomes-focused approach, prioritizing rapid re-housing and supportive services to reduce long-term homelessness. Essentially, it aims to make efforts to end homelessness more effective, humane, and efficient by encouraging partnerships and flexible strategies tailored to individual needs.
