They aren’t ‘homeless people.’ They are people experiencing homelessness; they are unhoused; they are your neighbors; they are humans.

If rent were more affordable, higher wages were more attainable, and family units were more stable, fewer people would have to experience homelessness. Learn more at https://t.co/tVdVIubclO.

Homelessness is a struggle that isn't borne only by individuals, but by all of us.

The evidence is clear: when we reduce and end homelessness, everyone benefits.

"Homelessness is a mirror, it reflects our nation's living history of racism"

The truth about homelessness is all around us, homelessness cannot be ended without addressing racial inequity. Racism and homelessness are inextricably linked.
