“I think what we’re going to see is a lot of jurisdictions realize that they can’t enforce their way out of homelessness. Pushing them out is just a shell game.” Alex Visotzky, senior California policy fellow at the National Alliance to End Homelessness. https://lnkd.in/gjKtTPvz #housingnothandcuffs

Way to go, Bennett Applegate, Vice Chair of our Board of Directors! He is working with Brandon Johnson and the City of Chicago's Cut the Tape Task Force to expedite housing development. Congratulations!
Mayor Brandon Johnson today made three major announcements as part of his signature Cut the Tape initiative to streamline and expedite housing and commercial development. The announcements include the completion of several policy initiatives that were outlined in the Cut the Tape Report, the appointment of Abigail Sullivan as the inaugural Director of Process Improvement, and the creation of the Cut the Tape Task Force consisting of nearly 50 development leaders. This is just the beginning! We have more announcements coming later this month.

What can you do in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision criminalizing street homelessness? Our President and CEO, Carol J. Sharp, MPA, has some suggestions on how to take action, including: 1. Learning about current attempts to criminalize homelessness in states bordering Illinois. 2. Supporting federal legislation that offers real solutions to youth homelessness and helps individuals connect to services.
