The rhetoric of Gavin Newsom and London Breed is dangerous and promoting the stripping away of the civil rights of Americans without a home. There are real solutions to homelessness, like Housing and Intensive Support.
Does anyone even comprehend the seriousness of Gavin Newsom and London Breed pushing for more criminalization as a "compassionate" response to the growing homeless crisis? youtu.be/sPmjy_9e-Io?si=2AOg… This is just the start. More politicians will follow their lead. As homelessness grows, and IT WILL GROW, the public will become more frustrated, increasing the support for a punitive response.

We need your help for the 2023 Point in Time Count. Read the article below and sign up to volunteer here! sandiego.pointintime.info/
The continuing economic fallout from the pandemic, along with an aging society, tells us that older adults’ experience of homelessness and their unique needs must be included within a national strategy to prevent and end homelessness. buff.ly/3gVMlvC

Throw some cold or frozen water bottles in your car and give them out to homeless people.

Isn't it strange that @NLIHC showed in black and white with #OutofReach that we are living through an extreme housing affordability crisis and yet Mayors across the US (66 of them) have decided to divert attention by attempting to make tents disappear. #HomesNotSweeps

Hotel-based homeless shelters changed lives in pandemic. Leaders say it's easier to give clients greater attention when they stay in the same room. wbur.fm/3MazqPK via @WBUR

Just being surrounded by other mission-driven organizations has been amazing. Each of our fellow semi-finalists are living proof that you can lead with both your head and your heart.

We lost another medically compromised person experiencing homelessness. 😔 She couldn’t get adequate hospital treatment or a place to medically recover. #SanDiego

This does absolutely NOTHING to address the needs of those experiencing homelessness. It simply violates their rights and human dignity. @ToddGloria this violence against the unhoused solves nothing. We need #HousingNotHandcuffs! housingnothandcuffs.org join the campaign today
Replying to @HomelessnessSD
Pretty sure this won't solve homelessness.
