So blessed that former homeless case manager @NateBohmLevine is now a @JointMedPrgrm medical student addressing homelessness in his research. @JointMedPrgrm @UCBerkeleySPH
MYTH: Mental health & addiction are the primary drivers of homelessness (individual vulnerabilities)
FACT: While these factors may play a role, the primary drivers of homelessness are STRUCTURAL: lack of (deeply) affordable housing, income inequity & institutional racism. (2/4)
It’s 1 AM. Our solidarity is strong and our numbers are growing.
Millions are at risk of being removed from their homes, and a Democratic-controlled government has the power to stop it.
Extend the eviction moratorium now.
Folks,
If you are a CA renter unable to pay some or all your rent or utilities due to the pandemic, APPLY NOW for state rental assistance. You will get:
- 100% of past & future rent paid
- 100% of utilities paid
- Eviction protections

The eviction moratorium is lifting. Support for housing solutions is decreasing while support for criminalization is growing. Elderly homelessness was a growing crisis before the pandemic that is continuing to get worse. It's a perfect storm of homelessness coming!
