#datasharing to ensure that a person doesn't get lost in the system. #homeless folks become disillusioned from waiting for the system to support them. #sxsw #fightinghomelessness @riversidecagov

[RideAlong @getRideAlong]

@MiracleMessages asks also "why aren't there more #homeless people when 1 of 2 Americans are a paycheck away from not paying rent? And 47% of people can't afford one $500 emergency?" #ChronicHomelessness #FunctionalHomelessness

[RideAlong @getRideAlong]
