Yesterday's #JohnsonVGrantsPass case discussed various questions related to criminalizing homelessness. However, it should push us to reflect on the resources & investments needed to truly support those living without homes.

Imelda Barajas from @MaketheRoadCT on why we need Just Cause eviction protections: “It is not surprising to me that those who have the most want to take away from those who have the least, because it is what I see every day.”
CT Senator Rob Sampson says eviction protections are communism. Kenny Morris from @unitedforrights says housing is an internationally recognized human right.
Research has found that high rent can negatively impact health & life spans. The only way to reverse this health trend, according to Prof. @danyakeene, is to address the housing crisis. “We’re not going to solve the problem without creating more housing."

Rents have surged and homelessness is at record heights, but fewer of the poorest tenants get housing assistance.
“What we have by design is a housing lottery, where only one in every five eligible households gets assistance.”

New article out now, led by @_sawhit & advised by @danyakeene! We argue that a racial capitalism framework can help us understand *how* and *why* race matters for gentrification's effects on health https://t.co/DEOVNPG2Gn
Excited to share this important new paper by SBS doctoral student @_sawhit "Rethinking the effects of gentrification on the health of Black communities in the United States: Towards a racialized health framework" https://t.co/Aj6tRrxUU2
Excited that our article is out showing what we learned from pandemic-related eviction moratoria and what we need to be doing differently to prevent elections. Honoured to work with coauthors @danyakeene@emilyabenfer@ps_hepburn Whitney Denary and Anna Kopolka.
COVID-era policies cut evictions by more than half. For many, these protections were a lifesaver. For some, they were difficult to access. Our researchers spoke with tenants to better understand how eviction moratoriums helped and where they fell short.🧵
