"A home is central to family life. When homes are lost to fire or storm or flood, it is a public tragedy; communities rally to provide help. When a home is lost because families cannot pay their rent and are evicted, it is a private tragedy. The Homelessness Prevention program was founded to prevent such tragedies."

--Dr. Audrey Faulkner, a founding board member of the Homelessness Prevention Initiative
