TODAY: The yearly homeless census data is out. Homelessness is going up because rent keeps going up, and more and more people are struggling to get by.
This does not mean that housing does not solve homelessness, it does. This means there isn't enough housing to go around.

Anti-camping laws and encampment clearings "cause chaos, not order. They are not a solution to homelessness, and in fact, they will make the problem worse,” said @annymoliva. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Hennepin County, MN is proving that America can end homelessness. While cities across the nation face rising homelessness, Hennepin County leads by example by building a community-wide system that prioritizes people, not punishment. @invisiblepeople youtube.com/watch?v=yq1C8l4u…

Encampment sweeps do not solve homelessness. We're glad to see communities pushing back against ticketing, arresting and fining people. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Some new mayors have made a dent in homelessness numbers without relying on penalties, says @annymoliva.
“You cannot pursue criminalization as your primary way of pursuing homelessness and also drive the numbers down."

Tell your elected officials: Funding HOUSING solves homelessness! The #JohnsonVGrantsPass ruling gutted protection for our neighbors living outside. Now more than ever we must demand our govts focus on housing and other proven solutions.

🔥Love and Disruption: Advancing Housing Justice and Racial Equity youtu.be/znDMt3w-nzg?si=OyzM…
In this compelling episode, we explore the transformative power of love and disruption in advancing housing justice and racial equity with @AmandaAndere, CEO of @funderstogether. The conversation delves into the importance of integrating these critical issues into philanthropic efforts to drive meaningful change.
"The truth is with the people who've been most impacted... I think the truth is in community, the truth is in understanding people's humanity."
Throughout the discussion, Amanda highlights the significance of engaging in uncomfortable dialogues and listening deeply to those with lived experiences. The episode examines how embracing discomfort can lead to personal and societal growth, ultimately fostering a more just and equitable society.
"We have to lean into the messy, uncomfortable stuff... The kindest thing, the most just thing that we can do is to challenge why we think that way, why we do things that way."
We also touch on the necessity of challenging existing power dynamics and processes within philanthropy. Amanda shares valuable insights and strategies for fostering open, honest dialogues that pave the way for meaningful change.
"Love and disruption: It's about lovingly meeting people where they are but not leaving them there, and disrupting the way things have always been done."
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages embracing the discomfort that comes with hard truths and using love and disruption as powerful tools for advancing housing justice and racial equity in the philanthropic sector.

"Ending homelessness begins with placing people in housing, not criminalizing them for sleeping in public when they have nowhere to go. The question isn't whether to cite a person in this situation, but how best to address why so many people are unhoused." star-telegram.com/opinion/us…

Seeing my colleagues & partners continue to not name the racial equity & racial justice implications of this #SCOTUS #GrantsPass decision in their statements is pretty devastating on top of the devastation of the decision. Do better folks. Just do better w/o being reminded
