The RV community behind #SanFrancisco State is blocking Winston Drive this morning, protesting against a pending eviction on July 2nd from their long-standing community. There are over 50 vehicle homes parked on this street, and the majority are families with children.
I am thrilled to present on June 22 about a Big Tent Approach to Parking Programs at the FREE, ONLINE National Vehicle Residency Collective Summit! We'll discuss programs to support vehicle residents across the US!

“The federal government has the duty and obligation to provide housing for every unhoused person” says @CoriBush to @NLIHC.
“The decrim of homelessness is a racial justice issue. “
“If you don’t have a home it should not be illegal to sleep in your car, like I did. “
This subject line underscores the sheer stupidity of this type of law. You can’t ban homelessness. You can either: 1) solve homelessness, w/housing/services or 2) criminalize people who are homeless, making it more difficult/expensive to get them housed
The case of Johnson v Grants Pass could allow cities across the US to criminalize homelessness. How can housing advocates communicate about this case to expand support for proven solutions to homelessness?

"When we criminalize people, we know it impacts their ability to get a job," says @annymoliva. "It impacts their ability to get housing in the long run if they have a criminal record."

Check out @invisiblepeople's new short doc on Finland's success in solving homelessness. As Paula Ahonen says "no one should be on the street. It’s not good for anyone — it’s not good for them and it’s not good for the society. Who benefits from that?" https://t.co/E2cV6S85jb

The US has empty buildings it could use to tackle homelessness. Why are they being sold off? Simple answer: the federal government would rather sell to for-profit, luxury estate developers.
Meanwhile, homelessness costs taxpayers $50K per year per person.

NEWS from @JAMA_current: Ppl experiencing homelessness "have a 16-fold higher rate of sudden death from heart attacks & other causes"
When we say that "homelessness is deadly", this is what we mean. The good news is that housing saves lives.
