Homelessness is Not Healthy

Homelessness is not healthy. We will not wait to spend this $10M investment. We will spend it wisely, with urgency, and in partnership.

Homelessness is solvable, Housing for all is possible. HSC has a vision. We hope you will join us in implementing against the bell curve!

Asking those with something to give, to share with those who are without.

Not to forget, and not to ignore but let’s clear space for new, fresh, and positive feelings.

The unintended consequences are rarely seen by the giver. They leave feeling better about themselves because they did something charitable.

If we weren’t having success, the unsheltered number would be many times higher than what it is today.

If we “end” homelessness, or have an efficient homelessness crisis response system in the Valley, then the possibilities are endless.

Preventing and ending homelessness does not occur at a rate that is “intractable.” It occurs at a rate that is inequitable.

We don’t use words like “arrest,” “incarcerate,” or “force treatment” when we talk about housed people that have mental illness and addictions.

Can we write prescriptions for safe, affordable, and permanent housing?
