[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

A health event or a lost spouse shouldn't be enough to end in homelessness. https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko is what we're building so it doesn't have to be. https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Over 100,000 people aged 55 to 64 experienced homelessness on a single night in 2024. Often after a health event, a job loss, or losing a spouse.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Climate is a housing issue now too. https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko - https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm if you want to help us respond to it.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Wildfires, floods, and hurricanes are pushing more people into homelessness every year. Housing that's destroyed rarely gets rebuilt for the people who lost it.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Prevention is cheaper than crisis response, every time. https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko is our attempt at prevention. https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

One unsheltered person can cost a city $30,000 to $50,000+ a year in emergency response. Permanent housing is usually cheaper than the alternative.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

The people in that stat are the hardest to reach, which is exactly who Crystal is designed for. https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko - https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Hidden homelessness - couch-surfing, doubling up, living out of a car - is estimated at 2 to 3 times the official count. Most of it never shows up in any statistic.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

The system is stretched thin. Building something to take some of that weight off: https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko - https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Over 1.1 million people received homeless services in 2024, a 12% jump from the year before. Shelters and service orgs are stretched past capacity almost everywhere.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

The trend line is the emergency. https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko is our answer to it. https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm helps us build it faster.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Homelessness increased nearly 40% nationally between 2018 and 2024. Every major city has felt it.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Read that again. Then take a look at https://t.co/WDN6rEhgko, and if you're able: https://t.co/sbH0kpeDZm

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

There is no county in America where a full-time minimum wage job covers a modest one-bedroom apartment. Not one.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Having a job was never supposed to not be enough. https://t.co/KGU6XRx8Jm is what we're building in response. https://t.co/JEXe830mnZ

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

40 to 60% of people experiencing homelessness have a job. Wages just haven't kept up with rent.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Language shouldn't be the barrier between someone and the help they need. Part of what we're building: https://t.co/KGU6XRwATO - https://t.co/JEXe82ZOyr

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Hispanic Americans are about 19% of the population and were 31% of people experiencing homelessness in 2024. Language barriers and discrimination both play a part.

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Numbers like this are why equity has to be part of the design, not an afterthought. Our approach: https://t.co/KGU6XRwATO. Fundraiser: https://t.co/JEXe82ZOyr

[OUR CLEAR HAVEN @ourclearhaven]

Black Americans are 13.7% of the population and were 31.6% of people experiencing homelessness in 2024. That gap didn't happen by accident.
