There are always going to be disabled people. There are always going to be ppl fleeing domestic violence. There are always going to be seniors. There are always going to be minimum wage workers + people laid off. Every one of them deserves a place to live with dignity.

Shelters continue to be historically inept at supporting the needs of the unhoused and still they receive far too much funding. It’s beyond time to invest in permanent supportive housing.

On #MLKDay, the Alliance commemorates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his quest for justice as we work to end homelessness. We have a long road to end homelessness, but we should all be inspired to keep fighting through Dr. King's vision and commitment to equality and justice.

[DESTINY @yagurldest]

Orang County still doesn’t have a cold weather emergency shelter for the region’s homeless.

Advocates are frustrated with lack of action from officials and worry more people will die on the streets this winter.
