“If we don’t invest [in vouchers] now, these numbers will just go up.” says Respress of our Steering Committee member Pathways DC. We agree. Council of DC must address the increase in homelessness with more vouchers, not no new vouchers. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…

Check out our Steering Committee member Everyone Home DC in Washington Examiner "We've asked for $55.5 million for PSH vouchers to end chronic homelessness for 1260 individuals & additional vouchers to support 480 families, & we have zero vouchers for FY24 currently,” Cunningham said."

On May 30 (this coming Tuesday), the Council of DC takes their final vote on the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. So far, the council has only funded a fraction of what's needed. If we truly want to end chronic homelessness, we need more from this year's #DCBudget.

A Heat Emergency will be activated on Monday, July 3 at 10AM. Remember: Stay hydrated, limit sun exposure, and check on seniors, neighbors, and pets. If you see someone in need contact: 📞Shelter Hotline: 202-399-7093 or 311 📷911 for an immediate safety risk

DC has declared a hot weather emergency. Here are 3 things you can do to support the over 800+ people living outside in our country's capital. Check out our blog for more details: votervoice.net/TheWayHome/Blo…

“The fact that we’re seeing crisis level unemployment in Ward 8 means that leaders in the District should be responding robustly.” - DCFPI Dep. Policy Director Caitlin Schnur in DCist. dcist.com/story/23/08/10…
