Late last week, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced major changes to a key federal funding program that supports local efforts to address homelessness. These changes would cut off support for more than 170,000 people who currently rely on permanent supportive housing to stay stable, manage serious health conditions, and remain connected to care.
The people at risk include those living with disabilities and chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, behavioral health needs, cancer, and other long-term illnesses. Their health and safety depend on having a stable place to live.
TAKE ACTION: Join us and our partners at the National Alliance to End Homelessness in urging Congress to protect this critical support. Ask lawmakers to include budget language that guarantees renewed funding for these existing housing programs for the next 12 months.
