@aboabout_org and @shikemore talking about the benefits of having an agency act as the "Homeless Housing Authority" and administers rental assistance systemwide so that social services agencies can focus on delivering quality housing stabilization support.

[Lindsay Hueston @lindsayhueston]

A reminder that people w/ involvement in the criminal legal system, including those w/ felony convictions, are still able to access subsidized housing under the #FairHousingAct.

(But fingers crossed that housing isn’t located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave 👀). https://t.co/r0AoMhU3eZ

"There are understandable short-term pressures on elected leaders due to... rising levels of homelessness. But without understanding the structural roots of this crisis — a lack of access to housing — homelessness will persist. " https://t.co/3LII7FFGMh

[Tom Murphy @TVM_Comms]

Perhaps a quibble with the headline. But no argument with the reporting.

More people than ever are being housed, but an even higher number are being forced into homelessness.

@shikemore Exactly!

[Donald Whitehead @DWhitehead2020]

The killing of Jordan Neely is the result of the dehumanization of people experiencing homelessness and mental health issues. Criminalization policies that turn the general public into street level judge, jury, and executioner have tragic consequences.

Today’s RRH super panel. Thanks @bencattellnoll for finding the best.

[Tom Murphy @TVM_Comms]

If you’re advocating for the criminalization of homelessness, you are simply advocating for more homelessness.

@bencattellnoll Exactly. Not sure I’m self sufficient. I depend on others all the time.

[Kay Moshier McDivitt @Alliance_Kay]

When we target resources to specific populations we see results. Recent decreases in Veteran, Family, and Youth homelessness attest to that. #NAEH2023

Felt like I should share my speech I gave at the 2022 Kente graduation ceremony in December. It was a beautiful moment to have the opportunity to speak and fully put into perspective how much of an accomplishment graduating was for me.

[Kay Moshier McDivitt @60_kay]

@taylorbreannaX Please know that you are amazing and we stand behind who you are and who you are yet to become. #justiceforTaylor

[Taylor Breanna 🇵🇸 @taylorbreannaX]

There are people who are actively willing to advocate for me. As well as make sure my story gets told fully, not just using my face and headline to tell half truths. If you have time today please read and share. Thank you again Lauren❤️

It is why want to share today’s op-ed by @el_manels who took the time to write about the true magnitude of what I’m facing as well as to write about who I am as a person. Tho Im not in a position to truly advocate for myself, it is heartwarming to know and see that…

[Taylor Breanna 🇵🇸 @taylorbreannaX]

Being in this state of limbo for the past 2 1/2 years of my life have left me feeling completely and utterly silenced. My name and character have constantly been called into questioned and have been put on trial. I even questioned myself yet still knew my character at heart.

[Robert White @RobertWhite_DC]

I spent my morning talking to people living at the #McPhersonSquare encampment. I left very angry.
