#Homelessness in the U.S. jumped to #record level in 2023, government says
April Rubin
..."Homelessness increased by about 12% nationwide since last year, and it rose across all household types, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said in a new report.
About 653,100 people experienced homelessness on a single night in 2023, according to an annual count done in January.
This year's result "is the highest number of people reported as experiencing homelessness on a single night since reporting began in 2007," the report says.
By the numbers: Black, African and Indigenous people were overrepresented among the population experiencing homelessness, as has been the case in previous years, the HUD found.
Black people made up 13% of the U.S. population in 2023, but they made up 21% of the U.S. population living in poverty, 37% of all people experiencing homelessness and 50% of homeless people in families with children.
Asian and Asian American people had the largest percentage increase in homelessness, up 40% from 2022, to a total of 11,574.
Hispanic and Latino people saw the largest numerical increase, up 28% from 2022 to 179,336 in 2023.
Zoom in: Families with children saw a 16% increase in homelessness."...

Tory pledge to end homelessness by 2024 was just another hollow promise...
If you eradicate affordable homes and decimate social housing, refuse to regulate
landlords then you just drive up the number of rough sleepers caught in the poverty
trap...

Dr Cornel West Announces He's Running For President in 2024
Some key policy points i wrote down while listening:
* Abolitionism of #poverty and #homelessness
* Strong support for trade #unions
* #Medicare for all
* Indictment of #greed from the 1%
* #Decentralization
* End of mass incarceration
* Transformation of priorities from foreign #wars to helping poor people
In a now-deleted tweet, US state-funded VOA Farsi posted a photo of homeless people along with a quote from a Tehran Municipality official saying "we make people feel better".
The only problem was that the image was not from ziran, but Portland, OR in US.
Not that there are any homeless people on Iran, but this is absolutely pathetic of a state sponsored propaganda organization like #VOA!

This doctor wants to prescribe a cure for #homelessness
February 7, 20236:30 AM ET

..."Boozary and his hospital partnered with their city government and the United Way of Greater Toronto to build a new, four-story building on hospital land to provide permanent housing to those grappling with homelessness. This multimillion-dollar project, scheduled to open this summer, is essentially a form of public housing where doctors are triaging and identifying who most needs a home.
The first phase of this new program, he says, will amount to more than 50 units that will provide people with their own bathroom, kitchen, and bed. Boozary hopes to see the program scale and dramatically reduce the number of homeless people.
Boozary says it's not only a matter of social justice, but sound economics. "It could cost about $30,000 or more to have a patient on a hospital ward for a month, or nearly $7,000 to be in a sheltering system for the month versus $2,500 to $2,800 per month for supportive housing," he says.
Other hospitals in the United States that are getting into the housing business have come to a similar conclusion. "Many hospitals realize it's cheaper to provide a month of housing than to keep patients for a single night," Kaiser Health News reports. But while other hospitals have focused on providing temporary housing to homeless people, University Health Network is focusing on making permanent units.
In addition to the program aimed at providing permanent housing to homeless people, Boozary's hospital also funded a program that provided food boxes to them during the depths of the pandemic economic downturn.
"I, in my medical training, never thought that I would be prescribing food or housing," Boozary says. "This should not be the case. But that's the desperate state of poverty we're in. What would you have us do as health workers?"
Boozary is quick to point out that the programs his hospital is pursuing won't alone solve the problem of homelessness in Toronto. But he hopes his program will prove effective and scalable. At the end of the day, Boozary says, only political will and large public investments in housing and community social work will end the homeless crisis."...
well, if these two are managed opposition shills buying trust, they're succesfully making a fairly large purchase here with me and those #healthy #rants.

Hemlöshet är dyrt för samhället. Billigare att ge de hemlösa bostad. Se på Finland.
♲ Brent Toderian - 2023-01-02 20:59:13 GMT
“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.
At least they're keeping people in hospital, in Hobart. In many other places and on the mainland they just discharge them onto the street. This happened to me and many others.
Hundreds of Ukrainian refugees left homeless in England, data shows | Refugees | The Guardian
Hundreds of Ukrainian families have been left homeless in England after arriving on visas designed to secure them a place to live, official figures reveal. Since the end of February, at least 480 Ukrainian families with children and 180 single adults have applied to councils for help with homelessness.
Despite the government insisting that the Homes for Ukraine and family visa schemes would ensure that refugees had housing, both are leaving people struggling when arrangements break down.

Sapp hadn’t realized that if he had made the call, it wouldn’t necessarily have been the police who would have shown up. After the #GeorgeFloyd protests shook the country in 2020, #SanFrancisco started redirecting these sorts of 911 calls to paramedics and trained behavioral #health workers. The city’s new Street Crisis Response Team, which responds to unarmed adults in #crisis from mental illness, substance use, or #homelessness, tries to reduce interactions between the public and the #police, to prevent officers from reacting violently to people in these situations.
Nationwide, #cops fatally shoot hundreds of people experiencing mental health emergencies every year. The city’s crisis responders, by contrast, don’t carry #weapons. And they don’t have law enforcement backgrounds: Each three-person team includes a Fire Department paramedic, a behavioral health specialist, and a peer support counselor to help connect people with social services. In their vans, they store supplies like blankets, socks, snacks, Narcan, tampons, and toothbrushes. They respond to calls within 16 minutes on average, sometimes spending hours with a single person. Since November 2020, the team has fielded thousands of incidents—and, according to the Department of Public Health, which manages the project, not one has led to a death or an arrest, and fewer than 1 percent have led to #violence.
