A5: The US has a major housing affordability & availability gap w/a shortage of more than 7.2 million rental homes for extremely low income renter households. Engage all stakeholders to increase capital investments & rental assistance programs through policy! #SaludTues #COVID19

A3: Data indicate the #COVID19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting communities of color. @E_HousingPolicy's @Ahmad_AbuKhalaf & @RachelBDrew share how systemic discrimination in housing policy has created persistent health inequities: enterprisecommunity.org/blog… #C19 #SaludTues

A2: #Covid_19 has put a spotlight on some of the inadequacies of the system prior to the virus hitting, such as the need for greater crisis and interim housing solutions, which were already insufficient and never funded at the level commensurate with the need. #C19 #SaludTues
Nationwide would cost $100B to provide housing subsidies to low-income renters who already qualify and those who are eligible now bc of the pandemic, a fraction of Trump's $2T relief package. latimes.com/homeless-housing…

LA County received nearly 4,000 calls in 2017 from homeless women seeking help with their pregnancies losangeleno.com/features/pre…
This study goes to great lengths to prove once and for all that homeless people aren’t resisting services. Rather, our system is failing them. We can do better in 2019 and beyond. invisiblepeople.tv/another-h…

Homelessness in Finland has dropped by 40% over the past decade.
How’d they do it?
“The government built more homes and provided them to the people who needed them most.”
That's how supportive housing works to end this crisis.

LA County has the largest jail system in the world. Also the center of one of the most acute #homelessness crises in the US. We need to support our justice-involved neighbors and reduce recidivism/returns to homelessness
