Last week was huge. After more than a year of work, the Housing Not Handcuffs Act was introduced in Congress. This is the first Congressional bill aimed at stopping federal agencies from treating homelessness as a crime. Click here to learn more about the Housing Not Handcuffs Act.[[link removed]]

NEW REPORT: Anti-homeless laws post Grants Pass
 
On Saturday, we released a new report tracking the growth of and growing unpopularity of laws that make it a crime to be homeless. Below are a few highlights:  
320 laws that make it a crime to be homeless have been introduced since Grant's pass.  
45 out of 57 state-level anti-homeless laws- nearly 80%- were defeated.   
Most people agree that housing, not handcuffs, is the only real solution to homelessness.
