@marvelouskrs @HUDgov @USICHgov Like many across the nation last month, I attended memorial services to read the names of those who had died without homes and to make sure they are not forgotten. @NationalHomeles and @NatlHCHCouncil do great work to track the numbers.

@TucsonRomero @USICHgov @HUDgov It was great to be with you and your team yesterday, @TucsonRomero and to see the amazing work you are doing to end homelessness

[Jeff Olivet @jeffolivet]

So much great work by so many people across the country to make this happen. Don’t let anyone tell you that what you’re doing isn’t working. Now we need to scale up housing and services and turn off the faucets that cause folks to become homeless in the first place.

[USICHgov @USICHgov]

Ending homelessness is a priority for the Biden administration. In just over a year, @HUDgov, USICH, @DeptVetAffairs, and 100+ communities worked together to end homelessness for 140,000+ Americans. #HouseAmericaAchievements

"Not having a home is a tragedy—not a crime. Let’s treat it as such....as a housing and health crisis—not a problem for the criminal justice system."

Thanks, @jeffolivet @USICHgov for laying out why #HousingNotHandcuffs, #ServicesNotSweeps are the best way forward.

The Biden-Harris Administration’s Housing Supply Action Plan will:

🏘️Expand our nation’s affordable housing supply

🏘️Ease costs for families

🏘️Lead to more affordable rents and more attainable homeownership

[Michael McConnell @HomelessnessSD]

Criminalizing homelessness is a sure way to perpetuate it.

[We Are In @WeAreInKingCo]

"Until we address housing affordability in Seattle, and across King County and across the nation, we’re going to continue to struggle with homelessness." - @jeffolivet

The biggest way you combat homelessness is affordable housing! https://t.co/GqVQXMspIk

This announcement will help significantly in our efforts to address housing affordability and end homelessness in the country.

[Ray Bramson @rbramson]

Encampments aren’t the problem.

A lack of affordable housing is the problem.

We need to know what we’re solving for if we ever want to see real change.
