An alliance of agencies working toward a common goal of ending homelessness, Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness (MCTEH) recognizes two worlds: the world of lives and the world of numbers. Each family housed, each job, each life turning a corner illuminates its work. At the same time, the numbers represent larger successes that can be celebrated and replicated. While its successes and shortcomings are gauged with both yardsticks, statewide action depends on local, regional, and statewide measurement. The solution to homelessness is a housing solution – innovative, affordable and integrated into communities.
