People experiencing homelessness are at risk of being undercounted in census data and being underrepresented when receiving funding for supportive services and programs.

Council in Media and Conference Spotlight

Council CEO Bobby Watts and Senior Director of Policy Dr. Barbara DiPietro lent their perspectives to a MarketWatch article exploring how some hospitals and insurers are investing in housing for people without homes to help reduce health care costs. Read the story to learn about the critical benefits and cost savings of health care-driven housing interventions.
Additionally, Watts recently shared three key points on homelessness in a plenary presentation at the National Alliance to End Homelessness's Solutions for Individual Homeless Adults Conference in Oakland, CA. The crisis of homelessness "is a moral issue," Watts said, stressing the importance of advocacy. "This is a matter of life and death, and for the very soul of our nation." Watch the full speech (Watts's introduction starts at 41 minutes).
