HEARTH (Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing)

HEARTH (Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing) is a federal initiative aimed at reducing homelessness. It provides funding and resources to help people quickly move into stable housing, rather than spending long periods on the streets or in shelters. The program emphasizes rapid placement into housing, along with support services like job training and healthcare, to promote long-term stability. HEARTH also encourages collaboration among government agencies, nonprofits, and community organizations to create effective strategies for preventing and ending homelessness efficiently and compassionately.
