This study documents these approaches in six communities with the hope that other communities might learn how to carry out similar efforts. The study identified a number of elements that could contribute to homelessness prevention, as well as a number of promising prevention activities that could be used alone or in combination as part of a coherent community-wide strategy. The promising prevention activities include: (1) supportive services coupled with permanent housing, particularly when combined with effective discharge from institutions, especially mental hospitals; (2) mediation in Housing Courts; (3) cash assistance for rent or mortgage arrears; and (4) rapid exit from shelter. 650 0 $a Homeless persons $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Homeless persons $x Housing $z United States. 776 08 $i Paper version: $a Burt, Martha R. $t Strategies for preventing homelessness. $h 1 v.
