Homeless Solutions
Human Centered Homelessness Solutions That Recognize Each Individual
Homelessness is more than a statistic—it’s about people. Every person experiencing homelessness has a name, a story, and the potential to regain stability with the right support. At MGT, we believe in a “Know and Thrive” approach, ensuring that our solutions go beyond numbers to focus on individuals, their unique needs, and the community-driven strategies that help them succeed.
At MGT, we’re expanding our homelessness solution services to deliver data-driven, person-centered solutions that make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. We partner with government agencies, nonprofits, and community leaders to create proven, scalable solutions — because every individual deserves long-term stability.
Our Know and Thrive Approach to Homelessness Solutions
Rather than providing independent services that only address immediate needs, a Know and Thrive approach looks at individuals through a holistic lens. MGT is operationalizing this new, evidence-based approach. It integrates and systematizes community efforts and investments to ensure those experiencing homelessness have the support and connections they need to thrive. The pillars of this approach are:
The Pathway to Human Thriving is a unifying framework and an assessment tool that helps guide clients toward stability across essential dimensions that help them achieve long-term thriving and stability.
The tool supports individuals experiencing homelessness by assessing their current needs, tracking their progress, and developing achievable goals.
The Pathway to Human Thriving contains two key components:
An array to understand important human needs
- A scoring system for each of these
Individualized care plans allow case managers and clients to work together to set actionable goals related to each client’s areas of need by recording these goals and making specific plans for next steps along the path of progression.
Real-time, population-specific data that is shared across case managers, providers, and other decision makers enables communities to track progress, identify gaps, and make informed decisions about how to support individuals and families on their path toward long-term stability. MGT supports this work by assisting communities in the implementation of underlying Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) or other related information systems.
Building sufficient caseworker capacity; integrating care-plans and progress tracking into HMIS; securing sufficient long-term funding; and monitoring and evaluating progress are key enablers for sustainable implementation.
Ecosystem support is essential for effective program execution –Homelessness efforts do not exist in a vacuum. MGT offers a variety of customized support services based on community-specific needs.

Our Principles
We recognize the variability in sub-populations’ challenges and needs and will apply the Pathway to Human Thriving framework to address these with a Know and Thrive system, ensuring individualized and coordinated care.
We are conscious of the root causes and complexities of homelessness, where economic and health shocks often lead to housing loss. In most cases, these exacerbate individual challenges, turning temporary setbacks into long-term patterns.
We provide strong support with clear expectations. Individuals must engage in healing and follow rules to prevent harmful behaviors. Additional services will link progress on the Pathway to Human Thriving with greater access to benefits.
We focus on long-term results, prioritizing incremental progress along the Pathway to Human Thriving over merely addressing immediate needs. Program benchmarks will evaluate how each service provider contributes to long-term success.
Our Experience
Local political dynamics can make alignment challenging. Success is often defined by activities rather than outcomes, and homelessness continues to grow despite robust service offerings and investment.
Homelessness involves a vast array of service providers who have constrained visibility into one another’s systems and limited means for collaborative care.
Case worker shortages, difficulty proving outcomes, and the severity of needs facing this population put serious constraints on service delivery.

Led by the Utah Impact Partnership (UIP), the Utah Office of Homeless Services (OHS), and MGT, the pilot showed that person-centered care, centralized case management, and shared data can lead to more effective outcomes. -
