There is exactly one thing that every individual experiencing homelessness has in common: the inability to find a home they can access and afford. Full stop.
Homelessness is fueled by sky-high rents.
A wide-ranging study at UC San Francisco found that skyrocketing rents is THE major cause for homelessness.
Elected officials must urgently address the housing affordability crisis.

Thanks, Jon, for amplifying. We are profoundly concerned by HUD's plans to gut permanent housing funding with this year's NOFO. It isn't too late to get it rescinded and revert to their original plan to provide a second year of funding.

Permanent Supportive Housing following the Housing First approach has a near-perfect success rate in our community: just one individual has exited to homelessness since 2019.
That's ONE of 93 individuals who left chronic homelessness and moved into Cross Park Place or 501 Southgate.

Housing First is crucial for solving the homelessness crisis!
Why We Must Fight for Housing First
Housing with preconditions means more people will cycle through shelters, jails, and the streets, fueling efforts to criminalize homelessness instead of solving it.

Housing First Is Still the Best Approach to Ending Homelessness
Misconceptions about Housing First ignore decades of evidence of its effectiveness. To end homelessness, policymakers should invest in evidence-backed solutions, such as permanent supportive housing.

A reminder of what's at stake as the Trump administration moves to gut permanent housing programs:
This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

HUD's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) slashes 70% of funding for permanent housing like Cross Park Place, 501, and Rapid Rehousing.
The funding cuts are brutal, and the ethos of our work is at risk: our person-centered, trauma-informed, Housing First approach stands to be defunded.
