When low-income renters are underrepresented, elected officials are less likely to enact policies that benefit their communities. Our Homes, Our Votes works to close the voter turnout gap.

In the case of #JohnsonVGrantsPass, the cruelty towards homeless people is the point. If SCOTUS sides with Grants Pass, housed people like picknickers could freely use blankets in public, but unhoused people could be arrested or fined.

One of the most important mechanisms through which housing impacts quality of life is through educational attainment. Housing provides a foundation from which children can engage fully in schooling and set themselves up for success in the future. tinyurl.com/yfb9f2uk

“It seems both cruel and unusual to punish people for acts that constitute basic human needs. Here, we’re talking about sleeping, which is universal, it is a basic human function.” - Justice Ketanji Brown

When you’re experiencing homelessness, the need for housing *eclipses* any other issue.
People who are given a safe & stable place to live before addressing other less critical needs are more likely to attain long term housing stability.

To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we're highlighting different housing pioneers!
Today, we honor Robert C. Weaver, the first African American to hold a Cabinet-level position, as Sec. of Housing and Urban Development. His work paved the way for progress and equality in housing.
Great article by @MarySellQuillen talks about the 2024 Budget Surplus. Lets put these dollars in workforce and affordable housing development! The pay off is HUGE! aldailynews.com/budget-situa…
If Alabama would invest in homes, we’d all benefit! #FundtheAHTF
The economy is hot. Unemployment is low. Inflation is down. Wages are now gaining ground. But when I ask younger folks why they think the economy is bad, they immediately come back to one thing — the cost of housing is out of control and nobody has a plan to fix it. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
