Yesterday's #JohnsonVGrantsPass case discussed various questions related to criminalizing homelessness. However, it should push us to reflect on the resources & investments needed to truly support those living without homes. Read my article in @CTMirror ctmirror.org/2024/04/22/ct-h….

Opinion: Supreme Court case highlights CT's need for homeless services

As the Johnson v. Grants Pass case is heard, we must make it the goal that nobody should need to sleep outdoors or in cars at all.

Imelda Barajas from @MaketheRoadCT on why we need Just Cause eviction protections: “It is not surprising to me that those who have the most want to take away from those who have the least, because it is what I see every day.”

Housing instability, as measured by eviction filings, was associated with significantly increased risk of death over the first 20 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eviction prevention efforts may have reduced excess mortality for renters during this period. ja.ma/3T4KjJL

Research has found that high rent can negatively impact health & life spans. The only way to reverse this health trend, according to Prof. @danyakeene, is to address the housing crisis. “We’re not going to solve the problem without creating more housing." usatoday.com/story/news/heal…

Soaring rent prices aren’t just hurting wallets. They’re shortening life spans.

High rent burden can lead to chronic stress, neglected medical care and harmful coping behaviors, which deteriorates tenants' health.

Rents have surged and homelessness is at record heights, but fewer of the poorest tenants get housing assistance. “What we have by design is a housing lottery, where only one in every five eligible households gets assistance.” nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/po…

As Need Rises, Housing Aid Hits Lowest Level in Nearly 25 Years (Gift Article)

Rents have surged and homelessness is at record heights, but fewer of the poorest tenants are getting housing assistance — in stark contrast to growth in other safety net programs.

COVID-era policies cut evictions by more than half. For many, these protections were a lifesaver. For some, they were difficult to access. Our researchers spoke with tenants to better understand how eviction moratoriums helped and where they fell short.🧵 evictionlab.org/in-their-own…

In Their Own Words: How Tenants Experienced Eviction Moratoria

We examine the benefits and challenges renters experienced as a result of moratorium policies.
