I’d like to have some superpowers to time travel at #naeh2023 since there are so many good sessions to attend it’s hard to choose just one per block. Of course the best use of this superpower would be to save the world #umbrellaacademy
Read this...excellent reporting. Why Do Cities Respond To Homelessness With Criminalization? invisiblepeople.tv/why-do-cities-…
Just finished this book - recommend to all who want to deepen their understanding of the movement to desegregate and integrate American schools. It’s a deeply disturbing and compelling read.

@HUDgov published 20yr RCT results for Jobs Plus, providing public housing residents w/ employmt svcs + financial incentives & support for work. My quick take: No impact on earnings & employmt for full 6-site sample, & the reported positive impacts at 3 sites aren't reliable. 1/7
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽great news for our work to end homelessness and increase access to quality affordable rental housing. I’m excited for the next chapter as an Enterprise board member

The bad news is homelessness is at an all time high. The good news? As we saw during the pandemic, with action from Congress, the admin, & local communities, homelessness is solvable and preventable. My latest op-ed via @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
The next time someone asks why homelessness is increasing, just share with them this op-ed from @dianeyentel. When she lays it out like this, the problem - and the solution - become so clear. We can end homelessness if we act with urgency and invest in what works!
The bad news is homelessness is at an all time high. The good news? As we saw during the pandemic, with action from Congress, the admin, & local communities, homelessness is solvable and preventable. My latest op-ed via @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
“After seeing homelessness increase by 20% between 2022 & 2023, NJ officials were shocked into action. Officials tweaked existing programmes & spent more on rental assistance…” In Nov unsheltered homeless fell across the state by 23% year on year. economist.com/united-states/…
The 12% national increase of people experiencing homelessness underscores what @ucsfbhhi learned in our California statewide study: the homelessness crisis is driven by skyrocketing rents, flat incomes, and widening income equality. homelessness.ucsf.edu/CASPEH

I know this should be obvious, but please remember, lived experience is NOT just formerly homeless people; people currently homeless also need to be listened to and empowered to make decisions that influence their lives! #naeh2023
Handing out @Hanes socks with @AddyLeigh90. She is homeless. WATCH this video. I ask Addy how she feels about handing out socks to other homeless people - her answer is AWESOME! #naeh2023
Can't wait!!!
Next Tuesday, for the 1st in almost 10 yrs as friends, I get to share a stage w/ @stepville at the @naehomelessness conference. Can’t wait to talk about the new memoir #CLASS and lifting the voices of people with lived experience - thank you @annymoliva and team for making it so.
The same court that abolished affirmative action yesterday because it pretends to believe affirmative action allows unconstitutional discrimination based on race is perfectly fine with discrimination based on sexuality.
