INTELLECTUAL EXCELLENCE
We learn from what has been tried before, but we question everything. We collect and distill information from every source and seek to find the right and best answer.
ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS
We know that street homelessness can be solved, that the system can be redesigned to be better and more cost-effective, and that people will get involved if we can show them a real vision and a tangible plan.
FEARLESS DETERMINATION
We acknowledge that progress takes work, but we are optimists through and through. We believe that going bigger is often better, and that challenges are nothing more than opportunities.
Together, We Are Stronger!
UVA actively promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion across our organization and in our homelessness solutions. Our approach is rooted in collective impact by building private-public coalitions to create opportunities for a wide range of stakeholders to come together in a participatory and inclusive movement.
The numbers are clear – those experieincing homlessness are comprised of a disproportionate number of people who have systemically experienced exclusion and discrimination. We are committed to change these outcomes in our response to address street homelessness. See our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement, here.
