We’ve just delivered a letter to @AustinTexasGov and @MayorAdler, urging them to stand strong against @GovAbbot pushing reinstatement of the failed camping ban and to stick with the proven #HousingNotHandcuffs approach. https://t.co/EQRlIfWujm
2The McKinney-Vento Act grants homeless youth various resources. "They can continue to stay in their school district from where they were previously housed. They can get support services." Unfortunately, those resources aren’t always made available. https://t.co/O6Q0CZ3vUn
"This is local governments responding to pressure to do something by doing the wrong thing, which is criminalizing homelessness instead of solving it." We need constructive solutions to help people experiencing #homelessness. #HousingNotHandcuffs https://t.co/XWaCzpC2R5
Yesterday, we delivered a letter to Mayor Adler and the city council of Austin, Texas, urging them to stand strong in the face of pressure from Governor Abbott to reinstate the city’s failed camping ban. Criminalization does not work, and pursuing #HousingNotHandcuffs does, so we hope that Austin will stay the course and continue with constructive solutions to preventing and ending homelessness.
