We sincerely hope that the SCOTUS comes down on the side of Johnson—on the side of humanity and dignity for people experiencing homelessness—but we also know that the ruling, regardless of the outcome, won’t solve the housing crisis. @GOVERNING: bit.ly/44kRhhB
"Too often, policymakers ignore the obvious solution to homelessness — housing — in favor of immediate (and generally ineffective) responses, such as criminalization." @thehill thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
In June, @DESCSeattle will start welcoming new residents into Bloomside, a Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) building in Burien. We’re thrilled to see more PSH open—especially in South King County, where resources are even more sparse. @btownblog: bit.ly/4aNm8Gf

“People are healthier and more productive, and our communities are stronger, when everyone has a safe, dignified, and affordable home.” - Ann Oliva, @naehomelessness endhomelessness.org/blog/naeh-nlih…
Not having a safe place to sleep at night is not a crime.
Today SCOTUS is hearing the oral arguments for #JohnsonVGrantsPass—a case deliberating whether penalizing people for experiencing homelessness is cruel and unusual. We think it is—and data also demonstrates that criminalization is ineffective, harmful, and costly.
“The economic benefits exceed the intervention cost for Housing First programs in the U.S., with societal cost savings of $1.44 for every dollar invested.” @NLIHC Learn more: bit.ly/49P1HXU

Arresting people for sleeping on the streets only keeps people homeless for longer—and it distracts from real solutions like those we see working in communities across the country. #JohnsonVGrantsPass bit.ly/3xmp8dv

Arrests and fines will never solve homelessness. The only solution is to provide people with what they need: safe, affordable housing and supportive services. To learn more about the most important case about homelessness in decades, visit JohnsonVGrantsPass.com.
In #JohnsonVGrantsPass, SCOTUS will decide if cities can ticket or arrest people for sleeping outside with no other options. What would that mean for the more than 250,000 people forced to sleep outside in the U.S.? "I would never be able to make it out." - Jeremy

This is a heavy one. Months ago, @PeggyPeattie and I decided we wanted to dig into why homeless hospital patients are often landing back on San Diego streets. This is our first story about what we found. voiceofsandiego.org/2024/01/31/the…
Flexible funding is one of many tools WA has put to work that has proven progress is possible, even on an issue as complex as homelessness. We're proud to partner with @SchultzFamilyFd, @CampionAdvocacy & countless public & private partners on this work. seattletimes.com/opinion/editor…
Surgery complete and on to recovery! Only 8 hrs under the surgery by the amazing Harborview doctors, nurses and staff. Will be at least 3 months until I reach “toddler” stage again but easy to be positive with all the amazing support I’m receiving. Thank you to all especially…
Had a bad ski accident at Whistler but received excellent care starting with ski patrol, a short stay at Vancouver General, and now back “home” at the truly world class Harborview. Will be a long recovery and a good opportunity to earn some “lived experience” of ADA issues!
We want to thank the @KCPubHealth HEART Team for all its work helping homeless service providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is winding down starting in March, but as we expanded our services in the face of incredible need, so did Public Health.
Please share this information and help our unhoused neighbors. Thank you @KingCoRHA.

At a time when reaching & building trust with people using drugs has never been more important, this is alarming news. We know some don't understand why safer use supplies can be a first step toward recovery - lets talk about that. idahopress.com/news/local/boi…
@KingCoRHA @homeless_law This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for doing this!
This case is a big deal. Criminalizing people experiencing homelessness solves nothing, and is inhumane.
At it’s core, the Johnson vs. Grants Pass Supreme Court Case case asks whether ticketing & arresting unhoused people for trying to survive—when there are not other viable options—is cruel and unusual punishment. We think it is. Learn more: @homeless_law / johnsonvgrantspass.com
Cities like Chattanooga are making strides in solving homelessness - the same or similar strategies could work in communities across the country. “The main thing is just getting people into housing,” said @sberg0 of @naehomelessness smartcitiesdive.com/news/chattanoo…
We’re proud to work with @KingCoRHA, REACH, and the great folks at @wsdot & WSP on this initiative, which is carrying on the lessons of JustCARE: people will accept shelter and housing that match their circumstances.
In the 18 months this initiative has been in operation, through partnership, we’ve resolved 11 encampments, helping 361 individuals move indoors. kcrha.org/news-moving-in…
Let's be clear: The contributions and history of Black people in the U.S. should be celebrated every month. #BlackHistoryMonth is an invitation to collectively shine a spotlight on our past, recognize our progress, and recommit to working toward a better future for all.
Have you participated in King County’s point-in-time count? @KingCoRHA still needs volunteers for last two days.
This week, communities across the country will count people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. With this critical data, advocates & leaders can better understand where homelessness resources need to be allocated. Thank you to all helping to conduct the #PointInTimeCount!
Great progress is being made to reduce youth #Homelessness, a 29% cut for young adults aged 12 to 24. Thank you @GovInslee for leading the charge to create the Office of #Homeless Youth and our partners & funders in this work 🎉! Read more here: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
