Dear Friend, 

 

It's Week 2 of #RealFactsOnHomelessness. Throughout the course of five weeks, we will share 14 Myths of Homelessness and the Real Facts on Homelessness to help expose myths related to housing, homelessness, and funding opportunities with our friends, family, and colleagues. 

 

We encourage you to review the myths as they are revealed and get the #RealFactsOnHomelessness through this email, National Coalition for the Homeless's Facebook page, and the HousingNow!2020 Twitter account. Share, like, and encourage the people you know to engage with HousingNow!2020 as we move into the new year with a breadth of knowledge and feeling reinvigorated in the movement. 

  

• Myth 4: Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) is a model of housing that works for everyone and ensures that people will be housed long-term. Get the RealFacts here.
• Myth 5:  Criminalization and enforcement actions against people experiencing homelessness connect more people to services. Get the RealFacts here.
• Myth 6: People on the streets “choose” to be homeless rather than access shelter or housing. Get the RealFacts here.

Once we know the facts, we can start providing solutions that work. Please join us in this education effort and provide your thoughts about solutions here.
