“We stuck with the main components of solving homelessness and things we know we can deliver on.” – Elizabeth Boyce, deputy director for Housing for Health 👏👏

You didn’t provide the needed affordable housing.
You’re choosing political expediency over real solutions. That’s not leadership, it’s cowardice.
This will only worsen homelessness.
The city finally released its report on 41.18, and they dropped it on a Friday afternoon for a reason, because the results are BAD. Over 1,000 arrests, nearly 2 million dollars on signs, and only 2 people permanently housed. Thread below, or full report:

Workers who serve people on the streets are ones who have the fewest resources – both for their clients AND themselves.

No one should be punished for being unable to afford rent or a home.
My colleagues, advocates & I called on SCOTUS to choose housing NOT handcuffs & reject efforts to criminalize our unhoused communities.
SCOTUS is hearing oral arguments on #JohnsonVGrantsPass. Arresting and citing people for being unsheltered is ineffective and keeps people homeless for longer. There are alternatives to arresting people that communities can act on now.

I don't really have the words to describe how grateful I am for this day. Deep thanks to staff and community.
A special thanks to those who consistently believe that more is
possible 💙
While deaths from fentanyl are surging among LA’s unhoused, it’s important to note that “all other causes” of death are rising, too. EVERY cause of premature mortality, including unsafe drug use, is exacerbated by homelessness. It magnifies every social inequity.
The Third District's first Pathway Home operation brought 25 Santa Monicans inside.
Providing housing and services continues to be our number one priority, and partnerships like this one with @santamonicacity are crucial to solving this crisis.
The city's apparently trying to revise the ordinance in a more inclusive direction, but trans and nonbinary voices need to be a part of the conversation, or the end result will be harmful, especially to vulnerable trans and nonbinary teenagers.
