tRump wants to criminalize homelessness & MAGA wants to withhold funding. It is unacceptable.

I say this with respect. The criminalization of homelessness is FULLY bipartisan. PLEASE pay attention to the Democratic mayors, state senators, etc... who are PRO-CRIMINALIZATION OF THE HOMELESS. There are MANY.

Absolutely this. Also not just a US problem. A global issue linked to tolerating Billionaire oligarchs.

Agree. Sadly, it’s also totally unsurprising— for decades, we’ve been cornered by a Cerberus of housing, healthcare, and mass incarceration crises that help to fuel these surges— and future outlook is bleak
