Christopher Brzovic has over a decade of experience in homelessness response systems, including street outreach, coordinated entry design, and system-level data analysis. He led the implementation of a Housing First–aligned Coordinated Entry system in Chittenden County, Vermont, and founded Critical Junctures Consulting, where he supports CoCs with evaluation and systems improvement. He holds a master’s in city planning from the University of Pennsylvania, where his research examined how unaffordable housing markets constrain Housing First policy implementation.
A large graffiti'd mural, painted in a cartoonish style, showing an apparently homeless family of three standing near a traffic light. The mother is handing a box or carton of stuff to the child, whose other hand is reaching to the father figure. He is holding up a sign that says "Help us." Facial features were not drawn on these figures, giving them a universal quality.
