Dear Friend, 

 

It's Week 3 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 7: Federal funding for affordable housing has increased over time and is adequate to address the current problem of homelessness. Get the RealFacts here.
• Myth 8:  HUD spends its entire annual $2.6 billion homelessness budget on providing housing and services to people who are newly homeless or currently experiencing homelessness. 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.
