Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 25/07/2025This approach will deepen inequities for folks who have high rates of homelessness like Black, Brown, LGBTQ+ & disabled people. It ignores the fact that many people’s incomes aren’t enough to pay rent and consistently meet other basic needs, forcing more people into homelessness. 100
Anna Bailey (she/her) @annakbailey.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Policymakers at all levels should reject these cruel and short-sighted approaches, which drain local resources, expose people to trauma, disrupt access to health care, and make it even harder for people to secure permanent housing—the lynchpin to solving #homelessness. 100
