Homelessness is one of our country’s most urgent, tragic, and solvable crises. In every community across the nation, the affordable housing crisis is putting America’s lowest-income seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, veterans, and other individuals at risk of evictions, and in worst cases, homelessness. In the wealthiest nation on earth, more than half a million people experience homelessness on any given night. To end homelessness once and for all federal, state, and local governments must invest in proven solutions at the scale necessary. Homelessness and housing poverty is a crisis in many communities one that demands urgent action at the federal, state, and local levels. The main reason people become homeless is that they cannot find housing they can afford. Until we end the affordable housing crisis for America’s poorest households, even the best efforts to end homelessness will fall short.
