Q&A with Tanesha Travis, Partners with Lived Expertise Coordinator in Sacramento, California
Meet Tanesha Travis, a Black leader in the Built for Zero movement working with Sacramento Steps Forward. She supports the organization's partners with lived expertise of homelessness in her role — and has experienced homelessness herself.
Travis knows this work is vital. She explains that by meaningfully engaging with people who have experienced homelessness, we can better understand where the gaps in our systems exist and work collaboratively to create solutions that render better outcomes.
“Meaningful transformation happens when we move from performative to transformative work, and centering the voices of people with lived experience is a critical part of achieving transformation within homelessness response,” she said.

** Final Debt Ceiling Agreement Could Harm Renters and People Experiencing Homelessness
------------------------------------------------------------
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reached an agreement on May 27 to lift the debt ceiling in exchange for a two-year freeze on spending for important domestic programs and increased work requirements for certain recipients of food and cash assistance programs, among other things. Because some HUD programs require additional funding to keep up with inflation, higher rents, and interest rate hikes, the debt ceiling agreement could result in significant cuts to affordable housing and homelessness assistance. In fiscal year (FY) 2024 alone, HUD will require between $13 billion and $16 billion in additional funding just to maintain current levels of assistance. Unless further action is taken by Congress, tens of thousands of households will be at risk of losing rental assistance.
