John, we need a Jobs for All Act.
The Jobs for All Act would target employment and training resources to the unhoused, reduce discrimination against marginalized communities, and restore low-income citizens to dignity through employment.
The Jobs for All Act gets America one step closer to ending and preventing homelessness while working to ensure a thriving workforce.
Send a letter to Congress: Pass a Jobs for All Act.

Meaningful and sustainable employment is the key to creating and maintaining housing stability. While unemployment is at an all-time low, Americans are continuing to combat generational rates of inflation. This matters because studies have found that a number of people that experience housing insecurity are the working poor.
There’s a solution. Connecting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness with job training and placement programs is critical to ensure they have the tools they need for long-term stability and success. Facilitating access to work supports like childcare subsidies and transportation assistance can help increase the likelihood that individuals will be able to retain employment.
A job with a living wage and adequate social service programs can help eradicate homelessness, and legislation that tackles this head-on has been introduced in previous legislatures.
Tell Congress: We need a Jobs for All Act.
Thank you,
