We envision thriving communities where all people experiencing homelessness have access to a variety of housing solutions and supports when needed to effectively end their experience of homelessness. 

We do this work in order to ensure that individuals and families experiencing homelessness have access to safe, decent, affordable housing and support services designed to help them become integrated socially and economically into their communities.

The work to end homelessness is rooted in our values:

Collaboration

We are a collaborative group of community organizations and individuals committed to making homelessness rare, brief and one-time across Northwest Michigan. Members of the NWCEH must understand the magnitude of the challenge and support each other to achieve our aspirations.

Accountability

An undying commitment and obligation to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions in the work to end homelessness.

Data-Driven Decision Making

We believe that data-driven decision making is essential to creating a more equitable, efficient, and effective homeless response system. We are committed to upholding these values in all aspects of our work, and to using data as a tool to help us achieve our goals.
