'The fundamental solution to homelessness is housing,' says a new White House roadmap. 'When a person is housed, they have a platform to address all their needs, no matter how complex.'
"The fundamental solution to homelessness is housing," says the White House roadmap."When a person is housed, they have a platform to address all their needs, no matter how complex."The Biden administration on Monday released a plan that seeks to eventually eradicate homelessness in the United States, starting with a 25% reduction in the number of people suffering from a lack of reliable access to safe housing over the next two years.
is based on input from thousands of service providers, elected officials, housing advocates, and others—including more than 500 people who have been unhoused—across nearly 650 communities, tribes, and territories. Mass incarceration; long-standing patterns of discrimination against people of color, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and elderly people; the Covid-19 pandemic; and fossil fuel-driven extreme weather disasters have exacerbated housing injustices.
"Homelessness is largely the result of failed policies," says the plan."Severely underfunded programs and inequitable access to quality education, healthcare , and economic opportunity have led to an inadequate safety net."
