The United States policy on homelessness just changed.
It is bad.
Really bad.
No, I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY bad.
It will absolutely cause homelessness (especially street homelessness) to skyrocket in a 1-2 years. (Federal policy changes take a couple years to be felt.)
The basics:
Beginning in 2004, federal homelessness policy started being guided by research.
The impact was clear and immediate. I can tell you from first-hand knowledge, everything changed for the better!
HUD just released a new funding plan that reverts to the failed policies of the 1990’s.
There is still a little time to fix this before it goes into effect. (Not much, but a little).
The National Alliance to End Homelessness made it REALLY easy. It literally only takes two minutes.
