#HousingIsAHumanRight ! Pass #ACA10 !

#HousingIsAHumanRight - let's make it a constitutional one in California too! Pass #ACA10 !

Such a powerful reminder of why people living on the streets may need pets, and why it’s still cruel and unusual to force people under threat of arrest to go to a shelter that wouldn’t accept them.

Trigger warnings on sexual assault & violence, but wow, what a powerful video.

Thank you Mark Horvath Invisible People ➤ Imagine Everyone With a Home for your partnership in bringing this case, and the response of the community, to the world!

“Whatever the court rules, it won’t change what communities ultimately are going to have to do, says Chapman Semple, which is to provide a legitimate and adequate response to homelessness.”

In Street Sense's new issue, you'll find a story from one of our interns about the police detaining a pregnant Black woman during an encampment closure. Police held the woman, Tavoncia, in a police van for an hour, handcuffed, while the city cleared her encampment. (1/4)

So much good Invisible People ➤ Imagine Everyone With a Home content, so little time! Another must-watch video, graphically depicting the harms of ticketing, arresting and sweeping people and emphasizing why #HousingNotHandcuffs is the only way to solve homelessness!

.Congresswoman Cori Bush on #JohnsonVGrantsPass : 'We're calling on the Supreme Court to reject efforts to punish our unhoused neighbors. Choose housing, not handcuffs. Choose compassion, not cruelty.'

#HousingNotHandcuffs ends homelessness!

Oh, it’s on!

We've known officials have been lying to the public about the 'need' to criminalize homelessness, but to lie to a court, just to keep the same failed policies that never ended homelessness in the first place?!? It's so clearly time for a new direction. #HousingNotHandcuffs .

'By treating housing as a basic human right, Sam demonstrated that leading with humanity is the most effective path to ending homelessness.'

Thank you Sam Tsemberis and thank you Ann Marie Oliva!

Cities such as Milwaukee & Miami reduced homelessness by over 90% by investing in housing & support services. #JohnsonVGrantsPass could help pave the way for more cities across the U.S. to do the same.
