Work to prevent and end homelessness. Focus at the cross-sector of health and homeless systems of care. Some thoughts about data sharing. Avid reader
Yes my organization was cut from HUD funding a few weeks ago because our website and LinkedIn profiles expressed support for equity - regardless of the fact that we did not use federal funds for that work. 16 colleagues laid off on Thursday/Friday because of the funding loss. Devastating!

I work at a nonprofit organization that is one of those 8 “contractors” whose HUD contracts were summarily cancelled this morning. We support local counties, cities, and CBOs seeking to prevent and end homelessness.
