How did the City of Houston manage to significantly reduce homelessness? The answer lies in an unexpected but powerful tool: accurate, real-time data. On this episode of Searching for Solutions, we explore how data is transforming the fight against homelessness — both globally and right here in Niagara.
Host Walter Sendzik is joined by Jeffrey Sinclair, Homelessness Services Manager at Niagara Region, to discuss the Built for Zero model — an innovative approach that prioritizes data-driven strategies to understand and address homelessness at the individual level. We dive into how Niagara is applying this model, what challenges exist, and how real-time data collection is creating tailored, effective solutions that are helping people transition from unhoused to housed.
