In the lower-right corner, a small logo reads: Alliance for Housing Justice.

ALT On Sunday, President Trump posted a horrifying screed announcing plans to force all of D.C.’s unhoused residents to “move out, IMMEDIATELY” & send them “FAR from the Capital.” W/ HUD reporting a national record of 771,480 people unhoused on a single night last year—including 5,616 unhoused people in D.C., over 80% of whom were Black—vilifying & rounding up our cities’ most vulnerable is racist, cruel, irrational & dangerous. If the goal is to solve homelessness, forced mass displacement & criminalization do the opposite: they deepen trauma, erect barriers to housing & work, worsen racial disparities, and put women, people w/ disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, & other underserved groups at greater risk. Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale: build & preserve social & public housing; expand permanent supportive housing & services; & enact strong tenant protections so residents aren’t pushed into homelessness in the 1st place
