#10Days10Reasons #SupportiveHousingSavesLives

Tens of thousands of New Yorkers have a safe, stable place to call home because of permanent #supportivehousing — including critical units funded by the CoC.

It's the final hour. There is 1 day left to protect it, #SavetheCoC, and save lives.

Supportive Housing is a Lifeline. “Supportive housing = home + care. Tenants get keys, stability, and a chance to rebuild." In 10 days, Congress must protect this lifeline.

HUD funding is cut by 44% in Trump’s FY26 budget, threatening to dismantle Section 8 rental assistance. Thousands of low-income families could lose stable housing if Congress allows these cuts. Contact your representative today to #StopTheFederalCuts endhomelessness.org/action/act-n...

“By providing more precise data on unit types & locations, it will equip us to develop data-driven solutions & create housing that is truly responsive to needs of prospective #supportivehousing residents,” our Director of Policy in @gothamist.com re: new legislation: gothamist.com/news/to-fill...
To fill empty apartments for homeless people, NYC will first start tracking them
More than 5,000 units of supportive housing were vacant in June, officials said.

President's executive order on homelessness threatens to end #supportivehousing as we know it. The housing first model works, and dismantling it will set NYC back decades. Read more in a new @gothamist.com piece featuring @thenetworkny.bsky.social

The reason housing 1st hasn’t ended all homelessness is bc there hasn’t been enough funding for it.

“The model is only as good as the resources that are committed to it,” Fred Shack @urbanpathways.bsky.social in @gothamist.com: gothamist.com/news/a-new-t...

We must fully fund housing!
A new Trump order could upend the way NYC treats homeless people. Here’s what to know.
Trump’s executive order “ending crime and disorder” proposes a shift away from solutions the city says have worked for decades to address homelessness.
