We need to evolve our thinking & approach towards homelessness to get our communities to a better condition of life!
We are bringing BIG IDEAS to address the BIG PROBLEM big problem of homelessness and how it impacts our communities.

That number includes federal tax monies given to the to the State and to nonprofits operating in Delaware, monies spent by the State and localities, monies donated to nonprofits and the value of donated goods, costs to the healthcare system, as well as emergency services, and for costs to businesses for theft, vandalism, and infrastructure.
Too many "leaders" and not enough "thought workers" in the homeless fight in DE.
As communities are facing incredible costs to simply exist, they want to know precisely how much is being spent on every issue, including homelessness.
Efforts to effectively combat homelessness in our communities requires the engagement of our business leaders. They hire people, they open new businesses and expand to new locations, they decide whether to accept a rental application, and they are the number one generator of the tax dollars the government spends to combat homelessness. Any commission, panel, collaborative, or advisory group not embracing our business community will have a maximum effective range of zero meters.
Less than 30% of the U.S. public trusted nonprofits involved in homeless missions in 2024, down 11 percentage points from 2023. If we want to gain public trust, we have to involve and be held accoutable to them.
From our Wraparound Services, including the soon-to-launch 24/7 Contact Center, the Community Resources Management and Information System (CRMIS), a growing network of Drop-in Points, and the guidance of a diverse Community Advisory Board (CAB), with our business community playing a key role.
To emphasize our commitment to working with the First State’s business community, and to layout the critical importance of immediate low-hanging fruit action that the government can take by the end of this legislative session, we offer the following.
If you're homeless in Delaware -- with no money -- you are expected to either pay for ID and vital records to obtain services, or rely upon nonprofits to help you pay.
That's not acceptable!
We are calling on the Governor, in light of his Executive Order 8, to move Delaware lawmakers to enact legislation by the end of this legislative session making State issued ID and State held vital records free of any cost whatsoever to homeless persons in the First State.
If the Governor can make this happen, then we'll offer another easy solution, and then another.
