A toolkit "intended for YIMBYs: people who understand the value of addressing homelessness, addictions, and mental illness in a proactive and positive way through safe and supportive housing, and who want to say “Yes in my backyard!” to projects that help people get off the streets.
We hope you will find this guide useful in helping you respond to fears and prejudices about the people who live in supportive housing."
