We must re-capture the narrative! As a person with lived experience, I agree 100% with this statement. Poverty and homelessness looks different for each individual and family. #NAEH2022@naehomelessness
“Our sector has gotten so focused on one thing: ‘my own space.’ We’ve forgotten that this is how many/most Americans live; we need to shift the narrative that shared housing isn’t a last resort option.”
- Veronica Lewis of @ssghopics #NAEH2022
“How many of you have ever had a roommate?
“The entire room raised their hand. Let’s keep that as the framing for using shared housing as a solution.”
- Veronica Lewis from @ssghopics

Q: Can you do shared housing for CoC or ESG funds?
A: Yes! Tips include: each person on own lease, prorate rent based on number of bedrooms, unit passes livability standards.

"We know that homeless systems cannot end homelessness alone. We have to find better ways to engage other sectors in order to bolster the safety net so that fewer people experience the trauma of homelessness to begin with."
