The agenda focuses on bringing hope to the homeless, the jobless, and victims of abuse and addiction while ensuring local communities have input and taxpayer dollars aren’t wasted.
“Homelessness is not something we can ignore. And the status quo of carelessly throwing money at the problem is not working. Too many career politicians think it’s taboo to suggest that homelessness stems from more than just rising housing costs. We need to acknowledge that mental illness, drug addiction, domestic abuse, re-entry from recent incarceration, and troubled childhoods are more determinative of homelessness than poverty by itself.”
“Helping our most vulnerable recover demands solutions that lift people up rather than tying them to yet another failed government program that spends billions of our tax dollars, with little actually reaching those in need. Reform of our approach to homelessness requires a coordinated and comprehensive effort to address the problem that has not been taken. This agenda ensures that hope is on the horizon for the homeless and those most at risk.” – Tiffany Smiley
