Community Solutions
Synopsis
Community Solutions was an anti-homelessness nonprofit founded in 2011 after protagonist Rosanne Haggerty grew frustrated with the limited impact of traditional housing and outreach strategies. It set an ambitious goal, reached in some partner communities, of ending homelessness. Its Built for Zero methodology helped communities across the U.S. improve their data collection, outreach, and provision of homelessness services, improving on often inefficient government processes and piecemeal solutions. The case focuses on the awarding, in April 2021, of $100 million from the MacArthur Foundation's 100% Change grant competition, and how Haggerty and her team prioritized projects and spending opportunities to maximize the grant's impact.
