Findings from @HUDgov: current historic levels of homelessness are due to our “worsening national affordable housing crisis, rising inflation, stagnating wages among middle- & lower-income households, & the persisting effects of systemic racism”. Read now: https://t.co/CWocZOD0E5

Every January, communities nationwide conduct the Point-in-Time Count, a one-night count of the number of people experiencing homelessness in America.

Child homelessness has jumped a whopping 33% in one year under Biden-Harris. 150,000 children were experiencing homelessness on a given night in this country. This is the worst spike in child homelessness ever.

"Today’s ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson that effectively allows the criminalization of homelessness will undoubtedly have devastating consequences for people with mental illness who are unhoused. The NAMI Alliance will continue fighting to ensure everyone has the services and support – like housing – that they need to get well and stay well.” – NAMI CEO @DanGillison

[DEI Petty @marcformarc]

The Grants Pass decision is a categorical a step backwards for the country. Housing solves homelessness—fines and jails do not. This is a shameful decision that moves us away from that ask and towards a future where our solution to every problem is prison.

[Coalition for the Homeless @NYHomeless]

If communities don't want to see people living in public spaces, they need to provide affordable housing. That is the only real solution to ending homelessness. Criminalizing homelessness is not only cruel, but counterproductive.

BREAKING: Supreme Court ruling will make homelessness worse, declares homeless people not protected from cruel and unusual punishment. In response, advocates demand at least $356 billion to be invested in proven solutions. #JohnsonVGrantsPass

Washington, D.C. — In a profoundly disappointing ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court today decided that it is constitutional to arrest or fine homeless individuals for using survival items like blankets or pillows in public spaces. Cont. Reading: https://t.co/py1JuQJ8Qn

Criminalizing homelessness is wrong and will harm people experiencing homelessness and our society as a whole. We remain committed to advancing equitable responses to homelessness to achieve our vision of thriving communities where everyone has a safe place to call home.
