REPORT: Overdoses spiked when a city evicted homeless encampments.
A new study puts hard numbers behind what we already know: encampment evictions increase public health risks, make it harder for people to find stability, and make homelessness worse. axios.com/local/twin-cities/…

The Trump administration tried to pass a similar rule back in 2019, and we shut down their proposal before it could take effect. Today, we will continue to defend our immigrant neighbors at all costs. Read our full statement ➡️ nhlp.org/nhlp-on-new-hud-rul…

Trump’s HUD is exploiting the economic crises that have worsened under his watch to sow division and scapegoat immigrants. This rule will hurt all of us: HUD's own analysis predicts that less assistance will go toward citizens and eligible immigrants as a result.

The Palantir billionaire-backed Cicero Institute recently met with Austin city officials to promote their anti-homeless agenda, which includes arresting homeless people and forcing them into institutions. Homeless Austinites need housing, not handcuffs. austinchronicle.com/news/cit…

For too long, low-income families have been pushed out while others reap the benefits.
Homes are supposed to be for the people who live in them, not for wealthy investors to extract profit from. #SocialHousing helps protect people so that communities can truly thrive. @aforhj
📽️ #SocialHousing keeps rent affordable & gives residents real power, so wealth stays in communities instead of landlords' pockets.

Since @StephenM is back in the news, here’s a reminder that he worked with @InstituteCicero earlier this year to take away the rights of people with disabilities and homeless people by making it easier to force them into institutions.

We all deserve the freedom to live without fear of going bankrupt or being evicted. After over a year of negotiations, the Yamacraw Village Council has succeeded in protecting tenant rights during the redevelopment process of one of the oldest Black communities in the U.S.!

Homelessness just dropped for the first time in a decade, largely thanks to Housing First programs. The government's response? Roll them back.

The rent eats first. Food, medicine, childcare. Everything else comes after.
Our new report, which you can read at stateoftenants.org/, documents a housing system pushing millions to the breaking point and the stakes of organizing to change it.

Left on a curb at 11 or 12, Benjamin Franklin says a HUD-supported program gave him “the hope that I can actually be something.” Programs like it are now at risk. invisiblepeople.tv/hud-fundi…

Palantir billionaire Joe Lonsdale, who wants to bring back public executions, is trying to make homelessness a crime via his Cicero Institute. Cicero's policies call for arresting homeless people, and subjecting them to detention camps and unpaid labor. matternews.org/voices/the-bi…

For homeless people, ID laws go beyond voting. When cities destroy homeless communities, and throw away people’s belongings, people often lose the IDs they need to get out of homelessness and find safe and stable housing. themarshallproject.org/2026/…

Trump’s authoritarian approach to homelessness is also a sweeping retreat from disability rights. After making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the DOJ started abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in their communities. nbcnews.com/politics/justice…
Today, the second Monday of October, is #IndigenousPeoplesDay. We celebrate Indigenous survival, resistance & a future beyond the white supremacist myths this country tells about itself—no matter how hard reactionary forces to try erase our history.
Our housing crisis can't be solved without confronting the theft of Indigenous land & the ongoing displacement of Indigenous peoples built into our property system.

Congress made lending discrimination based on gender, race, and other factors illegal. A federal agency shouldn't use its power to target a bank for doing what the law allows when it serves communities long denied fair access to mortgage loans.
