Hostile architecture has the intention of deterring people who are homeless from public spaces. The solution to homelessness is not criminalization or making finding a space to rest inaccessible. The solution is home. bit.ly/3smqmyb #EndingHomelessness

These photos provide a look at the growing issue of homelessness. The article likens the looks of the images to Hoovervilles. If we want to #EndHomelessness, we have to change the solutions with which we approach homelessness. lat.ms/3t5G5l5 #AffordableHousing

After being evicted, many low-income tenants double-up with friends or family members, increasing their risk of contracting COVID-19. huffpost.com/entry/eviction-…

Evictions during a pandemic aren’t just cruel & counter to efforts to contain COVID - they’re EXPENSIVE!
If ~25% of newly evicted people become homeless, associated costs could be as high as $130 BILLION.
