So much great work by so many people across the country to make this happen. Don’t let anyone tell you that what you’re doing isn’t working. Now we need to scale up housing and services and turn off the faucets that cause folks to become homeless in the first place.
Ending homelessness is a priority for the Biden administration. In just over a year, @HUDgov, USICH, @DeptVetAffairs, and 100+ communities worked together to end homelessness for 140,000+ Americans. #HouseAmericaAchievements

"Not having a home is a tragedy—not a crime. Let’s treat it as such....as a housing and health crisis—not a problem for the criminal justice system."
Thanks, @jeffolivet @USICHgov for laying out why #HousingNotHandcuffs, #ServicesNotSweeps are the best way forward.

Encampments aren’t the problem.
A lack of affordable housing is the problem.
We need to know what we’re solving for if we ever want to see real change.
