It's great to see Congress recognize the #housingcrisis this way, with targeted, coordinated leadership. I recently had a call with a single dad who is paying $2,300/mo for the least expensive apt he could find. He's worried that he can't sustain it. rollcall.com/2023/06/07/rep…

From a @fpnational Affiliate: "Mom keeps a smile on her face, but you can tell she is tired. Working two jobs and around 65 hours a week, plus raising three young boys... When asked how long they have been homeless, mom responds with 'one year.'" #familyhomelessness #MothersDay

Zoning meeting for approval on building to serve #children & families experiencing #homelessness. Neighbor protests. Council: "we are not going to entertain complaints of not in my back yard", every community needs these services. Wish more leaders agreed. #NIMBY @fpnational

I was disappointed by how little family/youth #homelessness was discussed during yesterday's Senate hearing w/ @USICHgov. USICH represents 19 fed depts, and yet referred almost exclusively to HUD data, which is not an accurate representation of kids and families. #kidsdeservemore

What would the world look like if we all gave what we could? During college I worked as a receptionist for a spa. I spent the morning volunteering at #ProjectHomelessConnect, and spent the afternoon selling $1,200 worth of skincare product to one person. I'll never forget that.

While my kids are celebrating a #snowday in Oregon, I am thinking of those that are living outside in all of this. Tents and tarps are not #housing, and certainly not insulated. #Homelessness should not exist.
