John,
I know what it’s like to be unhoused, living in a car with my two children. And I don’t want anyone else to experience that trauma and pain, which is why I’m working relentlessly on housing justice in Congress.
Two years ago, I led a 5-day action to extend the federal eviction moratorium as it was set to expire. During our four nights and five days on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, I negotiated with the White House and Congressional leaders, and we succeeded in reinstating the ban on evictions -- keeping 11 million people in their homes.
But we must do more than prevent evictions. We have a housing crisis including skyrocketing rents and increased homelessness, and our work won’t be done until we guarantee housing as a human right for every person in the country.
That’s why I have reintroduced the Unhoused Bill of Rights, affirming the dignity of unhoused people and laying out how we can end the unhoused crisis by 2027.
Please sign on today as a grassroots co-sponsor of my Unhoused Bill of Rights and ensure the government secures housing as a human right.
ADD YOUR NAME
This is urgent: Rising housing costs continue to rapidly outpace wages, forcing more families out on the streets. We have the power and the money to guarantee housing as a human right, and now we need our budgets to reflect our values and priorities.
The Unhoused Bill of Rights provides a blueprint for the federal government to permanently end the unhoused crisis by 2027 with holistic, health-based, and non-carceral solutions.
The legislation calls on the Department of Health and Human Services to declare the unhoused crisis a public health emergency, and calls for rigorous federal investments into affordable housing initiatives, assistance programs for people who are unhoused, and wraparound services that will keep people permanently housed.
Can you help demonstrate the public support behind the Unhoused Bill of Rights by signing on as a grassroots co-sponsor today?
Thank you for taking action in support of our unhoused neighbors.
With love,
Cori
