In 2015, the center released a comprehensive report regarding homelessness and what needs to occur to end it. This report represents 30 years of studies and research. Community-based providers from all 50 states who have had extensive experience working with families and children experiencing homelessness have endorsed this report.

In this report, the following essential components were identified as critical services that led to families successfully leaving homeless situations:

  1. Permanent affordable housing.
  2. Education, job training and income supports.
  3. Assessment of the needs of parents and children.
  4. Trauma-informed care.
  5. Recognition and treatment of depression in mothers.
  6. Family preservation.
  7. Parenting supports.
  8. Addressing children’s developmental and mental health needs.

Kairos Project 17 (KP17) will work with community-based providers to provide the number one component listed: “Permanent affordable housing.” Note, out of respect for the community we serve, Kairos Project 17 will consistently and intentionally omit the terms ”low-income” and “affordable” in any and all contracts and publications. We will instead use “KP17” when referencing a type of home or financing. We hope that as we develop, KP17 will represent “sincere caring and respect” for the community we serve.

The Support Structures

All of our applications are referred to as Kairos Project 17 (KP17) by our community-based providers. We refer to these entities as our Care Referral Partners (CRP). Care Referral Partners are vetted individually and must support all or most of the identified supports to their client communities (numbers 2-8 from the Bassuk Center Report).
