Affordable housing provides a foundation that allows citizens to thrive, contributing to a more stable and prosperous society for all.  By prioritizing affordable housing, we not only safeguard the well-being of countless families but also invigorate our local economies, creating a robust and sustainable future🙌 #homelessnessawareness #homelessoutreach #homelessawareness

“At a time when the #Supreme Court is #weighing whether #cities can #criminalize sleeping #outdoors or #in tents, #tiny homes #offer a cheap #and efficient way to #erect shelters, #delivering a stop gap #fix to a #national housing #crisis. The country is #short a staggering 7.3 #million homes for extremely #low-income renters, according to the National #Low Income #Housing Coalition. A #record 12.1 #million Americans #pay more than #half their #income in #rent, according to #census data, and a #record 653,100 #Americans were #homeless on a given #night in #January 2023. #Tiny homes for people experiencing #homelessness now #pepper the #country — in #Austin, #Albuquerque, #Madison, #Seattle and #St. Louis. And #more are #coming, as state #and local #governments, desperate to #clear tent #encampments, #bet that such #housing can #provide more #privacy, security #and autonomy than #traditional homeless #shelters where #multiple people #sleep in a #common area. Outside #Austin, people #live in 200-#square-foot homes with #covered porches in a #community with #chicken coops, #vegetable gardens and a #convenience store. In #Portland, Ore., one built #exclusively for #veterans has a #putting green, #ducks and a #pavilion with a #grilling station.”
