MacArthur Foundation Genius Award Winner and internationally recognized leader in the field of
homelessness, Rosanne Haggerty, President and CEO of Community Solutions, dives deep
into the challenges of the homelessness crisis and talks about how the problem is indeed
“Solvable”.
Rosanne puts the homelessness crisis in context as a symptom of broader systemic failures
rather than as the fault of individuals experiencing homelessness. Her non-profit Community
Solutions has created a program called “Built for Zero” which has worked in over 100 cities and
counties across the county to implement its systematic approach, by harnessing data and
collaboration, to bring homelessness to “functional zero”. The goal is to ensure that
homelessness is a rare and brief experience, and never an enduring way of life.
Rosanne provides insights into how fragmentation among government and services
organizations has prevented real transformation and how necessary disciplined collaboration
and a fresh mindset are to lasting change. She talks about the role of the real estate industry in
a discussion of the ripple effects on property values and our downtowns and the responsibility
each community has to find solutions. Her team is using the MacArthur Grant for $100M to
support those communities in their network and encourages listeners to start being proactive
through their businesses and within their communities.
