“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

How do we know what works? Because we see it working for veterans, in Milwaukee, Houston, Newark, Chattanooga. Housing and supportive services work.

Arresting, ticketing, & otherwise punishing people for experiencing homelessness has been proved to do more harm than good.
This #FairHousingMonth, @HouseDemocrats are committed to investing in building more fair & affordable housing to solve the root causes of homelessness.

The lead attorney arguing our side of the case in front of the Supreme Court broke away from other lawyers when she saw me saying, “You’re Mark Horvath. I just watched your video.” BAM! This made my day even better!

Folks know that ticketing and fining people for sleeping outside with a blanket makes no sense. That's why so many people are in front of the court. They know housing solves homelessness. #JohnsonVGrantsPass
ALT People gathered in front of the Supreme Court in a peaceful rally against ticketing and fining people who are homeless.

No one should be punished for being unable to afford rent or a home.
My colleagues, advocates & I called on SCOTUS to choose housing NOT handcuffs & reject efforts to criminalize our unhoused communities.

“For too long, our nation has gutted funding for public housing & thrown our tax dollars to policing & prisons. We work for the day when all handcuffs are welded into house keys, where the jails are empty and homes are full.” - India Pungarcher & Chaplain Lindsey Krinks @opentablenash

Here in solidarity with Terry, who lost his home in a tornado and then lost his job. Arrests, tickets and fines didn't get Terry into housing.
Housing and support did. #johnsonvgrantspass

"Congress refuses to fix a broken housing system where 75% of people in need of housing assistance receive none. As a result, far too many people face eviction & become homeless." - @dianeyentel

Enact the #HousingCrisisResponseAct now! The bill would represent the single largest investment in affordable housing in our nation’s history, creating nearly 1.4 million affordable & accessible homes, & helping nearly 300,000 households afford rent.

"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

Arresting fining and ticketing people does not make homelessness better. People do not choose to be homeless. It is the result of broken promises, mass incarceration and red lining. @DWhitehead2020. We can do better! #JohnsonVGrantsPass
