The campaign focuses on 5 major policy areas:
Housing is a basic human right that should be available to all Americans.
Health and homelessness are inextricably linked: a safe, stable home is the
prerequisite of health and well-being.
Employment provides not only income, but also meaning and connection. Livable
incomes are essential to prevent and homelessness. For those unable to work,
adequate public benefits are necessary to ensure stability in housing.
Education and training can play a critical role for many--children, youth, and adults--
in equipping people with the knowledge and skills needed for economic mobility.
Homelessness is a civil rights issue. People experiencing homelessness are too
often victim of hate crimes. Homelessness disproportionately impacts people of
color. And LGBTQ people/individuals face discrimination and barriers around to
accessing jobs and housing.
