“California cities also need to enforce laws to address the homeless crisis. Typhus, tuberculosis, and hepatitis are widespread in some areas of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. City streets are littered with human waste and 2 million used hypodermic needles annually in San Francisco, where one out of every 38 residents has a substance-abuse problem.”Ohanian, Lee. “The Economics of Why Homelessness Worsens as Governments Spend Even More on the Problem.” Hoover Institution, 18 June 2019, www.hoover.org/research/economics-why-homelessness-worsens-governments-spend-even-more-problem.

Persistent homelessness reveals deep flaws in the social safety net, which often fails to protect vulnerable families and individuals.

"Families with children, mostly women caring for children alone, were 'the fastest growing segment of the homeless," facing "fighting, fear, depression (acute or chronic), feelings of failure, and lack of stability" due to the "lack of space" in shelters.

1726731 — 2024-11-03 03:44:06 UTC

The growing visibility of homelessness has underscored the social and economic gaps that leave countless individuals without stable housing.

"Starting in the early 1980s homeless people often called 'street people' -became an increasingly frequent sight in New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Washington, D.C; Saint Louis; and most other major cities, as well as many smaller cities."

The lack of adequate federal funding for housing programs directly threatens the effectiveness of local initiatives aimed at reducing homelessness.

"HUD and independent sources such as the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have long acknowledged that community efforts to address homelessness depend on federal assistance beyond that provided by the McKinney-Vento homeless assistance programs."

Reliable federal funding is essential for local homelessness initiatives to succeed

"most state and local plans underscore that, if they are to succeed, the federal government must be a reliable and strong partner in this regard."

Homelessness has transitioned from a perceived emergency to a routine social issue, indicating a need for long-term strategies rather than temporary fixes.

"homelessness is no longer considered an unusual circumstance; it has become a routine part of the political and social service landscape."

1726731 — 2024-11-03 04:06:39 UTC

Communities need to shift from quick fixes for homelessness to develop lasting, sustainable solutions.

"homelessness is not simply a passing phenomenon requiring heroic volunteer efforts."

Eleven years ago, I met a person experiencing homelessness named Adam who first attuned me to the concept of relational poverty. I’ll never forget his words: “I never realized I was homeless when I lost my housing, only when I lost my family and friends.” “What’s the Real Reason People Become Homeless?” Greater Good, 2024, greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/Whats_the_Real_Reason_People_Become_Homeless.

Two-thirds reported current mental health symptoms and more than a third experienced physical or sexual violence during this episode of homelessness.

The California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness used surveys and in-depth interviews to develop a clear portrait of homelessness in California, where 30% of the nation’s homeless population and half of the unsheltered population live.

Increase access to housing affordable to extremely low-income households making less than 30% of the Area Median Income: produce more housing affordable to the lowest-income renters expand rental subsidies (e.g., Housing Choice Vouchers)
