"Giving unhoused people citations and telling them to 'move on' just pushes them to another campsite elsewhere in town. It does not promote their health and safety — nor ours." buff.ly/3HEAUBU
This is great. And also, how many more of these studies until the government funds direct cash transfers at the scale needed? It seems like a new study like this comes out about every other week.
It’s amazing. Unhoused folks get access to income and they spend it on housing/survival. It’s almost as if existing polices punish people in poverty.
I am curious. Do some people still think it is a coincidence of some sort that housing is unaffordable to more people than ever and that homelessness is going up? It’s baffling. npr.org/2024/01/25/122…
#DellMed is leading the planning phase for the Permanent Supportive Housing Health Care Collaborative, a community-wide effort spearheaded by @atxecho to improve access to primary and behavioral health care for formerly unhoused people. bit.ly/47Nkov5
"A criminal record impacts employment opportunities, which impacts the amount of rent someone can afford from what often ends up being lower wages. Without a good job, you can’t afford a good home. And without a home, everything else falls apart." buff.ly/463abc1

The long-term solution of Permanent Supportive Housing isn’t easy, but it’s extremely worth investing in. I’m grateful to have started working alongside folks in that space, and the care that I’ve seen put into Permanent Supportive Housing projects locally is truly amazing!
"If we continue to not build the permanent housing, and provide access to the permanent and affordable housing with services for folks, then we will continue to need to open shelters, which is expensive, and not a solution to ending homelessness." kut.org/austin/2023-08…
