Studies show that providing housing and services costs governments 2-3 times less than cycling homeless persons through the criminal justice system.

Best graphic to show why we don't need #housing support for the middle class (code for "white families), but need deep income targeting in the #Reconciliation bill. It's right economically, but also from an equity perspective. Thx @NLIHC @SarahSaadian! reports.nlihc.org/sites/default/…

Homelessness is not a crime!
It is just a journey others find themselves in, it is not a choice.
No one should be punished for being homeless!
