"Given the consensus that we are facing a housing crisis in our community, now is the time to unite behind the most effective methods for reducing homelessness. Criminalization of homelessness simply has no place in that effort." — Meg Zaletel, executive director, Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness 🏠 Meg points to proven strategies when she says access to affordable, stable housing and supportive services is the most effective approach to ending homelessness. It is a bipartisan, evidence-based practice backed by multiple, national studies: https://lnkd.in/d259W43H #EndHomelessness #AffordableHousing #SupportiveServices 🌟

NEW PAPER: The evidence is clear — high housing costs are behind skyrocketing homelessness, and #SocialHousing is the best long-term solution 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gudrYsnd

THIS IS HOW TO MESSAGE: The evidence is clear: the only way to permanently remove homeless encampments is through housing and supportive services. Criminalizing homelessness will only lead to larger encampments and greater suffering. It's time to adopt evidence-based solutions and address the affordable housing crisis to ensure a more humane and effective response to homelessness.

We can see the future... a future where homelessness is rare and brief! 🥠 Ending homelessness requires accountability, which begins with shared aims and measurement. Built For Zero communities across the country have demonstrated that accountability is the first step toward getting to zero. #HomelessnessIsSolvable Explore here: https://bit.ly/3Reofvg
