🏠 Homelessness is a struggle that isn’t borne only by individuals but by all of us. The evidence is clear: when we reduce and end homelessness, everyone benefits. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #WorldHomelessnessDay CostsOfHomelessness.org

Emergency financial assistance reduces risk of homelessness

Households were 81% less likely to become homeless within six months when they received money through one California county’s program, a new study finds.

An institutional radical asks ‘what is the community alternative to my service and how can I resource it?’ They precipitate action that’s led BY communities. Most reformers lack the courage this requires, they ask: ‘what can we do WITH communities to coproduce better services.
