Here's an ongoing thread 🧵of some of our partners' powerful statements:

. Ann Marie Oliva at #NAEH2024 :

'The public has begun to lose faith in our nation’s ability or will to end homelessness.

'But we haven’t.'

“It makes no sense to criminalize homelessness. [Johnson v. Grants Pass] is a case about people who are unhoused being punished for something that is out of their control. They’ve lost their housing and have nowhere else to go.” - Antonia Fasanelli on WGN Radio 720 loom.ly/5xPpNJ8

Appreciate how in times of uneasiness and uncertainy, Ann Marie Oliva highlight the bright spots and reminds us to celebrate the progress we’ve seen around housing justice in communities around the country #naeh2024

'This has to be the year that we bring people into this fight with us— to advocate for more resources & solid policy, to educate our elected leaders on solutions that work, and to push back on punitive and ill-conceived strategies that create more harm.' - Ann Marie Oliva #NAEH2024

Timely message from Ann Marie Oliva End Homelessness to kick off #NAEH2024 rfom her late beloved Tío Mario:
Stay united
Never lose your joy
Keep fighting for what you believe in

I’m rarely speechless. My dear friend & partner Ann Marie Oliva has me in tears sharing the inspiration she received when she felt a little hopeless. #naeh2024
