3 Things You Can Do To Solve Homelessness Now

For every $100 increase in median rent, homelessness increases by 9%. As rents go up, so does the homeless population. Homelessness is a symptom, not a cause, so until we fix the affordable housing crisis, lack of a living wage, racism, a broken criminal justice system, foster care, and domestic violence, provide better support for addiction and mental health, we will never solve homelessness. But there are things you can do right now to help. First, educate yourself and those around you about homelessness and homeless people. Unfortunately, an alarming amount of negative propaganda on Homelessness is being shared daily. Education is vital to know the truth. One place to start is our website's Invisible People's Learn More section. We also publish daily news on Apple News and Google News. You can also go to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, National Coalition for the Homeless, National Homelessness Law Center, and National Low Income Housing Coalition Second, get politically active. Now more than ever, we need to fix the affordable housing crisis and stop the growing movement to make homelessness illegal. Yes, you heard me - laws are being passed at the state and local levels to criminalize homelessness. It's a growing crisis and political advocacy has never been more important than it is today. Third, find a local nonprofit in your community working to solve homelessness and support them either by volunteering or providing financial support. Over the last few years, there has been a growing number of mutual aid groups. If there is a group helping your homeless neighbors in your community, connect with them. First - educate yourself Second - get politically active Third - find a local nonprofit or mutual aid group in your community to support Close to 28 years ago, I was sleeping outside, homeless. I am living proof that if we love on people until we can love on themselves, we can help people escape homelessness. But the world has changed. Rents in Raleigh, North Carolina, are up 75%. Austin rents are up 40%, and In Orlando, 30%. We must also fight the growing push to criminalize homelessness. We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness. Besides being even more of a burden on taxpayers, a punitive response to homelessness makes homelessness worse. ================================== Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/c/invisiblepe...

Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness. We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness. This isn’t just talk. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you. However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now. Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.
