Good afternoon Housing Not Handcuffs supporters, 

Like you, we are waiting for the Supreme Court to announce its decision in the most important case about homelessness in decades. Our best guess is that they will issue the ruling in Johnson v. Grants Pass in late June, but the decision could come any day. 

While we wait to hear the results of Johnson v. Grants Pass, we need your help to keep up the momentum and raise awareness about the many possible impacts this case may have on the 250,000+ people living outside, and the millions of Americans who are just one missed paycheck away from homelessness. To prepare, we have an upcoming webinar in collaboration with The New Republic, and a brand-new social media toolkit ready to share. Keep reading for more info.

A Way Home America’s State of the Movement  

June 12th & 13th, 12:00-5:00 PM EST

This year's theme “Transilience-Bridging Beyond Silos” signifies the proactive effort to overcome divisions and fragmentation within organizations or communities. It emphasizes the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the integration of diverse perspectives to address complex challenges or achieve common goals effectively. This approach aims to dissolve isolated silos of expertise or information, fostering a more holistic and interconnected approach to problem-solving and decision-making within the movement. 

 *Transilience- Moving beyond restorative to transformative, in transforming a system. It does not rely on an individual's resilience through an oppressive system to thrive as a community.
