Home
The Mayor's Office of Homelessness is committed to making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. In partnership with city agencies, people with lived experience, and a broad network of community stakeholders, we work to ensure all residents have access to safe, stable and affordable housing. Together with local, state, and federal partners, the City is advancing solutions that tackle systemic barriers that have limited access to stable housing and supportive services for under-served communities.
If you or someone you know needs housing support or experiencing homelessness help is available. Please see the Resources on this site or for immediate emergencies, dial 9-1-1.
