Extreme heat can be as dangerous for people who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness as extreme cold. Please stay safe, seek relief from the heat, and call 211 to access shelter services if needed.

NHLP is at #SCOTUS today to say: ✊PROTECT SURVIVORS ✊PROTECT THE HOMELESS ✊HOUSING JUSTICE FOR ALL #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HousingNotHandcuffs

Join NRCIL & advocate for the fair & humane treatment of our unhoused community! #NRCIL #AdvocateForChange #HumanRights #EndHomelessness #SocialJustice #Homelessness

Some great signs at the #JohnsonVGrantsPass rally! #HomelessnessIsSolvable 👏🏡🤌

Enact the #HousingCrisisResponseAct now! The bill would represent the largest investment in affordable housing in our US history, close to 1.4 million affordable & accessible homes, & helping nearly 300,000 households pay their rent. #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HomelessnessIsSolvable!

This is what the court is deciding: whether this country will actually solve homelessness with housing and supportive services, or fail by arresting, fining and ticketing people who live on the streets. #johnsonvgrantspass

Homelessness is a SOCIETAL failure. We shouldn't be making it harder for those who are already struggling to simply survive. The criminalization of homelessness is inhumane, ineffective and perpetuates cycles of homelessness. #HousingNotHandcuffs #HousingEndsHomelessness

"As a young girl who lost her housing I longed for housing." @CheriHonkala Kids in foster care need housing and support, not tickets and fines. #johnsonvgrantspass

“The only thing we lack to end homelessness is the POLITICAL WILL to fund proven solutions at scale. Homelessness is a choice – not of the people who experience it, but of the policymakers who create, sustain and worsen it.” - @Dianeyentel @nlihc

"Nobody should be subject to fear and punishment because they don't have a home. Affordable housing is the only solution to the crisis that has plagued our nation." - Helen Cruz #JohnsonVGrantsPass

SCOTUS, now's the time! Homelessness is not a crime! #housingnothandcuffs @USSupremeCourt

We can end homelessness if we act with urgency & invest in what works. The #EndingHomelessnessAct ensures universal rental assistance for every eligible household & includes other key measures to help end homelessness. Learn more: tinyurl.com/2dnk2usr

@SenSchumer we need the Senate to pass the #BuildBackBetterAct to provide the large-scale, sustained investments needed to ensure renters with the lowest incomes have an affordable place to call home. #HoUSed @NLIHC
