"As older adults' housing and medical expenses rise, their income typically stays the same. This forces people to make decisions they never thought they would face: Should I pay for food, rent or medicine this month?" buff.ly/3WSO6Ms

How does throwing away someone’s bed and suitcases solve homelessness? It never has and it never will.

Thank you @homeless_law for bringing people from all over this country to unite as one voice against criminalizing homelessness. Housing ends homelessness! #JohnsonVGrantsPass

🙌🙌Incredible work, @homeless_law and to everyone who submitted amicus briefs ahead of the Johnson v. Grants Pass SCOTUS case. Criminalizing homelessness is cruel & doesn't solve for anything—it only deepens harm and puts up more barriers to accessing safe, affordable homes.
What a tremendous outpouring of support for Gloria Johnson in #johnsonvgrantspass yesterday! Final tally:
✅️42 briefs
✅️1159 indiv. & org. signatories
The special bonus: My very own #Baltimore City Councilmember @odetteramos, together with @CouncilmanKB, joined! THANK YOU!

Yes! @PathwaysDC was proud to partner with @CommunitySols, @OpenTableNash, and @relmanlaw to file one of those briefs with 226 signatories of service orgs all over the country! Thank you for your work on this Jesse!
