The Greater Lansing Homeless Resolution Network

The Greater Lansing Homeless Resolution Network is committed to working together to eliminate homelessness in the Lansing, Michigan area by identifying, addressing and reducing the root causes of homelessness.

The Network has won praise from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by successfully creating a " . . . comprehensive, visionary, realistic continuum of care plan . . . Working with homeless providers, public agencies, and private agencies." HUD has classified this plan as ". . . one of the top two in the country" because of its efforts to include a wide variety of participants.

Over the next few years, one major issue the Network plans to focus on is the development of a  10-year plan to end chronic homelessness.

The Network is working to address a variety of issues, as well as working collectively with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, the City of Lansing and other human service agencies to develop a statewide Homeless Management Information System to automate data collection and interagency cooperation.

Watch for more exciting trends as we work agressively to successfully integrate the needs of the individual with the goals of the greater Lansing community!
