Background:
The Chester County Partnership to End Homeless is a countywide, strategic initiative to prevent and end homelessness in Chester County. Through this unique collaboration, Chester County endeavors to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring. The Partnership aims to shift from a system that manages homelessness to one that diverts, prevents and rapidly re-houses individuals and families while recognizing that housing is a primary human need and a right for everyone. The Partnership resides administratively within the Chester County Department of Community Development (DCD).
