It’s important for community leaders to understand that homelessness is not a moral failing for individuals experiencing homelessness. High rent, medical needs, mental health issues and many other factors contribute to homelessness.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

More Americans who rent are facing eviction now that pandemic protections have expired. One reason is the rising rents and a shortage of affordable housing for those with the lowest incomes.

@johnyangtv speaks to @dianeyentel for more.

Non-cisgender individuals are at the highest risk of becoming unsheltered and of facing chronic homelessness. These individuals often do not have family support and need support from their communities in order to feel connected and supported. https://t.co/j1LxaibCzB

JUST RELEASED: The 2023 State of Homelessness report contains new analysis about who experiences homelessness, where they experience it, and how resources are serving them. Explore the new interactive report: https://t.co/BAua5yX0S4

The largest percentage of individuals served currently by H.O.M.E. Center are elderly individuals or those who have a documented disability. These individuals became unhoused because of a lack of resources and housing to accommodate our growing unhoused population.

“People are homeless because their rent is too high. And their options are too few. And they have no cushion,” @MKushel tells @janiehar for @AP.

“And it really makes you wonder how different things would look if we could solve that underlying problem.”

Emotional abuse is abuse, plain and simple. It may not leave visible scars, but the wounds run deep. It's important to recognize the signs: constant criticism, humiliation, manipulation, and control. You are not alone. Call our 24-HR HELPline 512-396-4357(HELP) 💜 #EmotionalAbuse

For as much good as the homeless services field does in housing people and meeting their basic needs, we need to be honest: our field perpetuates structural racism.

“The bottom line is, there's only one solution: provide people w/adequate housing, then services so they can get on their feet," @WillKnightAZ said. "Anything short of that is morally irresponsible, legally incorrect, & financially, fiscally catastrophic.”

No one wants to see homelessness in their communities. But criminalization has been tried before and it simply doesn’t work.
