Community safety comes from ensuring that everyone has a safe and secure place to live. Community safety comes from ensuring that we have well-funded, high functioning schools. Community safety comes from ensuring everyone has access to the healthcare that they need.

Always good to spend time with @lisahalverstadt.bsky.social — one of the best journalists working on homelessness. #Politifest2025

Thrilled to spend a few days in Ireland with @simoncommunity.bsky.social bringing the American perspective—homelessness is solvable. (Don’t fall into the mistakes of the US)!

In the last day, a Fox news reporter responded to his on air colleague advocating for mass internment of people experiencing homelessness by suggesting instead that someone (the government? Bystanders?) pursue lethal injection of them. (He is, as far as I can tell, still employed).

📣Homelessness is caused by the disconnect btw housing costs & incomes. In addition to the ⬆️cost of housing-- the lack of labor protections in the US contribute to homelessness. Our new paper using #CAHomelessnessStudy examines this @ucsfbhhi.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Human beings are not “blight.” And cutting resources while throwing away people’s worldly possessions does not solve homelessness. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...

Veteran homelessness has ⬇️by > 1/2, because of Housing First and FUNDING. In @ucsfbhhi.bsky.social @hannahdeckermd.bsky.social study, Vets who gained housing were >2 as likely to catch up on colon and breast ca screening. Housing = Health www.annfammed.org/content/23/4... @annfammed.bsky.social

URGENT: DC to clear many homeless encampments tonight (Thur, Aug 7th). Please spread widely and share with media. My hunch is that this is @MayorBowser working with @realDonaldTrump , but I cannot confirm that yet.

Today’s EO on homelessness is shocking in its cruelty (even for this administration). Cutting funding for housing and health while criminalizing homelessness & mental health and substance use problems will lead to endless suffering and worsen homelessness.

“Research shows that housing is not just a solution to homelessness—it's...a direct intervention against violence. People are significantly safer once housed,” says @mkushel.bsky.social. “Investments in permanent housing, supportive services & prevention... are critical...”

📣Older adults are the fastest growing group of people experiencing homelessness. This @nytimes.com makes the crisis vivid. Proposed cuts & policy changes will make this problem so much worse. @ucsfbhhi.bsky.social Proud to have contributed 🧵 1/x www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Agree--"There is No Place for Us" by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social is a must read. If you want to understand homelessness, the way the economy & our housing policies conspire to leave large swaths of the population destitute and unstably housed--read it. It is gripping and important!

"We need to look ourselves in the mirror as a society. We are letting our elders die out alone in the cold or the heat, deeply traumatized, deeply frightened, and die alone and outside. And that is unacceptable." Grateful to be interviewed about senior homelessness www.ijpr.org/poverty-and-...

Dr. @mkushel.bsky.social shared research at yesterday’s CA Housing/CD Committee on what’s needed to sustain progress on homelessness. “We actually do know how to end this crisis. It is hard, but it is doable, and it will take sustained investments at all levels of government.” buff.ly/iJ1gBVO

Many people who exp homelessness work all day--the public just doesn't see them or recognize them.

Crushing people doesn't make people safe & that just one way that "clearing" homelessness encampments harms health. No one wants there to be homeless encampments. But treating human beings as if they were garbage to be disposed of isn't a solution. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/u...

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

📖Book Recommendation! There Is No Place for Us (out 3/25) by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social follows 5 (working) families in Atlanta, making clear how the lack of affordable housing, low wage work, exploitive extended stay hotels & dysfunctional systems trap families in homelessness 1/x

The US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) focuses on preventing & ending homelessness. Dissolving it (and devastating cuts to HUD, SAMHSA etc) will hamper efforts to address homelessness—as the these policies dramatically worsen an existing catastrophe. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The US has only 35 units of housing affordable & available per 100 extremely low-income households. CA has 24. This is why we have the homelessness crisis we do. The @nlihc.bsky.social #TheGap2025 report out today. nlihc.org/gap 1/x
