NEW POLLING: 72% of Americans reject arresting & fining people for experiencing homelessness. We partnered with @HousingNarrativ to survey public opinion surrounding #JohnsonVGrantsPass and the trend to punish homelessness. The results? People want #HousingNotHandcuffs.
We invite you to take part with us in the upcoming Week of Action to Oppose the Criminalization of Homelessness. Check out more details in this week's Housing Minute and online.

Pumped to be on the Hill today for #NLIHCHillDay24!
Kicking off Day 2 of the @NLIHC State and Tribal Partner Spring Convening with some of our closest friends at @CenterOnBudget @homeless_law @NationalHomeles & @naehomelessness to discuss real solutions to homelessness (spoiler: homes), not criminalization.
Michael is one of hundreds of thousands of people sleeping outside who may be effected by Johnson v. Grants Pass. To learn more about the historic upcoming Supreme Court case, head to johnsonvgrantspass.com
1/ Re: the House passed tax deal - for families with the lowest incomes, the expanded Child Tax Credit provides more meaningful support to help pay rent than the provisions to expand the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. Here’s why:

Nobody should live or die without the dignity of a home. Yet ppl experiencing homeless die early and often from treatable and preventable issues. Housing is healthcare and ends homelessness. We must honor the lives we have lost by fighting by even harder to solve homelessness.

Join the movement! Tell Congress that LIHTC expansion must come with key reforms. Advocate for America's lowest-income and marginalized households, especially in rural and Tribal communities.
LIHTC is the largest source of federal $$ for affordable housing, and yet it doesn't do nearly enough to address homelessness. Urge your Congressmembers to reform the program with any expansion! p2a.co/ZhQtlH2

Rents have surged and homelessness is at record heights, but fewer of the poorest tenants get housing assistance. “What we have by design is a housing lottery, where only one in every five eligible households gets assistance.” nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/…
Our very own @mcleanwillis moderating an excellent discussion with HUD and FHFA on centering residents to advance nationwide renter protections.
Leaders from @NLIHC’s ‘The Collective’ talk with the State & Tribal Partner Convening about Centering Residents in Our Advocacy. “Impacted people must be involved in the beginning, middle, and end of the policy development and advocacy process.”
We love when our state and tribal partners are in town! @NLIHC

How *insane* was today? I'm next to a tornado in a field near David City, Nebraska. I casually turn right and *notice* another tornado – which wound up tearing through Lincoln. Two storms. Two tornadoes. Absolute tornado *machines* today. A truly historic, destructive day.
Article done. Forecasts done. Magical scrambled eggs from the Hilton consumed. It’s go time.

“Homelessness at its root is about a lack of affordable housing, and people are homeless because they don’t have access to decent, safe, affordable homes.” ~ @dianeyentel via @NPR @hereandnow wbur.org/hereandnow/202…
“Whatever the court rules, it won’t change what communities ultimately are going to have to do, says Chapman Semple, which is to provide a legitimate and adequate response to homelessness.”

“Homelessness has become a much more visible problem. Elected officials are being publicly pressured to be seen as doing something about the problem,” says @annymoliva. “What we’re seeing is political rather than strategic reactions." buff.ly/3UjAYNI
What a day! Started it rallying for the rights of unhoused people at the Supreme Court, ended it by meeting with the White House team about the housing needs and solutions for people with the lowest incomes. Onward.
The honor of my life was when @RevDrBarber said I was a powerful sista after my #housingnothandcuffs #GrantsPass speech. From the most powerful preacher & advocate. Until freedom!
At the Supreme Court with @PeggyBaileyDC @awayhomeamerica @AmandaAndere @invisiblepeople @annymoliva @NCHVorg and hundreds more people to call for real solutions to homelessness. #HousingNotHandcuffs!
Don’t usually do *this* but, thread: Monday, SCOTUS debates the criminalization of homelessness. That means many folks are sounding off on the topic. I’ve spent 4 yrs covering this for @washingtonpost, and need to reality-check assumptions getting thrown around this week (1/x)
Joined some of amazing Central Florida Housing advocates & Organizers this morning ahead of the Supreme Court decision on Johnson v. Grants Pass. This decision could turn being houseless into a crime. Punishing the vulnerable will not fix the housing crisis. #HousingNotHandcuffs
We called for #HousingNotHandcuffs as the Supreme Court hears Johnson v Grants Pass, the most significant case about homelessness in decades. Thank you @homeless_law for putting on an amazing event, which included a powerful speech from MK Advocacy Director Dana White!
NLIHC President @dianeyentel joined @naehomelessness 's Ann Oliva & @CenterOnBudget 's Peggy Bailey in a statement on how the Grants Pass v. Johnson SCOTUS case highlights the need for leaders to address homelessness w/ humane, proven strategies: tinyurl.com/mwfywm7m
This is what movement building looks like! #HousingSolvesHomelessness Great job to all the speakers, volunteers and @homeless_law for your leadership. And big shout out to @jesserbnwtz. 👏🏽👏🏽
My heart is so full. What an honor to join 600+ ppl from across the USA to tell #scotus to focus on #HousingNotHandcuffs. As we head into Passover, a holiday abt collective liberation, I know that I am not free as long as people live w/o housing. Chag sameach. Until freedom.
"In Grants Pass, for every 10 of the lowest income renters, there are just 2 affordable & available apartments. Renters in Grants Pass and [everywhere] are struggling w/ high rents & wages that can’t keep up." - @dianeyentel
