Urging everyone to watch and *share* this powerful video from @invisiblepeople.tv. Criminalization of homelessness does not work.

Bay Area friends: I’ll be joining KQED Forum live tomorrow (7/22) at 9am PST, along with @mkushel.bsky.social. The conversation will be hosted by @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social.

Important new article led by @maxjordan.bsky.social - shows that USMLE QBanks often present patients experiencing homelessness in ways that are stereotypical & stigmatizing. This is how med students learn —> important implications for care. We need to do a lot of work / retraining here.

Glad to be a guest on this NPR WABE podcast on homelessness and health. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

Homelessness is rising among older adults, driven by lack of affordable housing paired with a late Baby Boom cohort effect (entire generation coming of age amidst recession and poor job opportunities). Good deep dive in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

I was thrilled to comment on the great work of Veronica Garrison, @cepollack.bsky.social, and others about their new nationwide measure of multiple housing challenges, including quality, affordability, and neighborhoods. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2...

Happening now! #HxHLab seminar on housing interventions for young adults. 👇

Many people who exp homelessness work all day--the public just doesn't see them or recognize them. (Neighbors fought against these homeless shelters for working folks, too) Strongly recommend @brian-goldstone.bsky.social book "There is no place for us" to learn more. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/n...

"When work no longer provides stability, when wages are too low and rents are too high, when millions of people are one medical bill, one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from losing their homes — who, exactly, is safe?" ICYMI, a gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

Truly no words. 😢 (TW: child death)

“Living in interesting times” - 0 of 10, do not recommend. 😞

Violence—physical, emotional and other—toward people experiencing homelessness spans the globe. Powerful pictures — top right: “we are not invisible; we exist” (@invisiblepeople thought of you). #ijohconf25 (1/)

“Throughout literature, sleep has been a metaphor for death. But, in real life, sleep should mean neither death nor arrest.” My piece on the murder of Debrina Kawam on a NYC subway—& the connections to Grants Pass www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

@hashemzikry.bsky.social, me, Scott Dresden, and Ravi Gupta offer suggestions on how new CMS GUIDE model can be leveraged to help EDs care for persons living with dementia, even though GUIDE only mentions EDs as a negative outcome. www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore...

Excellent commentary from Tom O'Toole in @jama.com on our new article in @jama.com - "Growing old while being homeless reflects gaping holes in our social fabric and safety net that should never be tolerated or accepted. Basic human dignity demands more." (1/)

The availability of housing affordable to lowest income pol determines how mhch homelessness there is. Veterans, for whom we have scaled Housing First responses, saw a decrease www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/u...

New study out showing continued “aging” of the homeless population. The share of the homeless population aged ≥60 years in 2020 was 2.6x higher than in 1990. In @jama.com Network Open with @TomHByrne @dan_treglia @DennisCulhane ja.ma/49Wnqz2

Tomorrow — the longest night of the year (winter solstice) — is National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day. Remembering those who died, often way too soon, while homeless. 🕯️ (1/2)

TFW you realize your Saturday night ED shift is the same day as SantaCon. 🎅😩😭

Sharing an op-ed I wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times on what it means for housing to be a human right and what we need to do in order to get there #housingjustice #endhomelessness
