Homelessness is on the rise in the United States. According to EndHomelessness.org, the homeless population increased by two percent between 2019 and 2020, marking a fourth consecutive year of growth. High housing costs, disability, racial inequality, domestic violence, and lack of income are all examples of factors that may play a role in causing homelessness.
If only individuals experiencing homelessness could “just get a job,” wouldn’t that solve the problem? Well, it’s rarely so simple. In 2017, only 22 percent of adults experiencing homelessness were confirmed to have been employed that year. While it’s apparent that some individuals can gain and keep employment, these low figures suggest there may be something more to it than the usual stereotypes surrounding the issue.

17 DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO HONORABLY SERVED OR ACTIVELY SERVE OUR COUNTRY BY AARON MICHAEL
Military veterans and those on active duty have sacrificed their lives, comfort and choice of employment in the name of protecting American freedom.

As a sincere thank you, our country and plenty of companies who employ veterans offer life changing discounts and even free products and services exclusively to members of the military and their immediate family members. Currently, there are many privately held companies and federal programs available to past and present serviceman that are widely used.

Current Federal Relief Could Largely Solve Homelessness Right Now!
Written by NAEH January 18, 2022
Author(s): Joy Moses, Sharon McDonald
Over the last two years, federal pandemic relief dollars were allotted to several government programs, creating the potential to substantially end literal homelessness for the overall population (or at least for some highly vulnerable subpopulations). Two government programs are particularly relevant: Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs), which provide long-term rental subsidies to a few; and Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), which can provide short-term rental subsidies to many. Funds have already been allocated and are in circulation for each of these programs. However, for those states and communities that have yet to strategically coordinate these resources towards ending literal homelessness, it’s not too late to change course
Emergency Housing Vouchers
Congress created 70,000 EHVs, enough to reach 6 percent of households annually served in the nation’s shelters. This number is notably small. However, targeting EHVs to small and vulnerable subpopulations could have a significant impact on those groups. For example, focusing on people annually served in shelter, the nation’s 70,000 EHVs could serve 45 percent of households with children, or 30 percent of adult-only households headed by someone age 55 and older. Although it is unlikely that every jurisdiction in America receiving EHVs would decide to dedicate 100 percent of their EHVs to one of these subpopulations, these numbers provide a sense of the scale of available resources. Communities that strategically target EHVs can create big impacts in reducing homelessness for particularly vulnerable subpopulations. And, although EHVs have already been allocated, it’s not too late to hone existing plans. As of early January 2022, only 28 percent of the nation’s vouchers have already been issued.
Emergency Rental Assistance
Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), which was allotted a total of $46.55 billion in two parts, has been a critical component of the federal pandemic response. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, as of mid-January 2022, 39 percent of ERA1 funds and 82 percent of ERA2 funds were unspent and continue to be available. News outlets, policymakers, and others often highlight how these funds can (and are) being mobilized to prevent evictions. However, these dollars can also reach people experiencing literal homelessness. Specifically, ERA can provide supports like those offered by Rapid Re-Housing programs—examples include rent payments, security deposits, application or screening fees, utilities, housing search, landlord negotiation, and case management related to housing instability.
Emergency Rental Assistance resources can pack a powerful punch. Here’s an example: if just 18 percent of the allotted $46.55 billion were targeted towards assisting people out of homelessness, $7500 (a number chosen for illustration purposes) could be dedicated to every American household that is annually served in shelters. These calculations are based on the number of households (individuals and families with children) that experienced homelessness in 2018 (the most recent year for which such data is available)—thus they do not account for population changes occurring as a result of the pandemic. The $7500 subsidy value was chosen for illustrative purposes, but would cover at least 3 months of fair market rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in the nation’s most expensive jurisdictions. As a practical matter, individual household circumstances vary—notably, households with individuals would likely have cheaper rents and $7500 could last several more months (and possibly a year or more) if the household has additional income from work and/or other benefits programs.

USICH, HUD LAUNCH HOUSE America INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS the HOMELESSNESS CRISIS - 9/20/2021
Today, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia Fudge, who serves as chair of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), joined Biden administration officials, Cabinet members, and elected officials to launch House America: An All-Hands-On-Deck Effort to Address the Nation’s Homelessness Crisis.
House America is a national partnership in which HUD and USICH invite mayors, county leaders, Tribal nation leaders, and governors to use the historic investments provided through the American Rescue Plan to address the crisis of homelessness through a Housing First approach by immediately re-housing and building additional housing for people experiencing homelessness.
“The health and well-being of individuals and families and the economic security of our communities is at stake,” said Secretary Fudge. “It’s going to take government working at all levels and local collaboration to address homelessness and to guarantee housing as a right for every American. Together, let’s house America.”
House America is the federal government’s direct response to the crisis of homelessness, which was rising even before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, HUD released its 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report Part 1 to Congress, which found that more than 580,000 people experienced homelessness in the United States on a single night in January 2020—prior to the pandemic. COVID-19 has created greater urgency to address homelessness, given the heightened risks faced by people experiencing homelessness. At the same time, COVID-19 has slowed re-housing activities due to capacity issues and impacts on rental market vacancies.
“The good news is that we know the solutions. We know what works. Even with the recent rise in homelessness, the overall number of people experiencing homelessness has dropped 9% since 2010,” said USICH Interim Executive Director Anthony Love, who delivered closing remarks during the launch. (Read his full remarks below.)
Through the American Rescue Plan, communities now have historic resources—including 70,000 emergency housing vouchers, $5 billion in HOME grants, $350 billion in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds through the Department of the Treasury, and significant investments to preserve and protect housing on tribal lands—to help more Americans obtain the safety of a stable home. Communities also have resources remaining through the CARES Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, and state and local resources to re-house people experiencing homelessness and create additional dedicated housing units to address homelessness. House America provides communities with the focus, resolve, and technical know-how needed to deploy these resources to maximize impact.
House America calls on state, tribal, and local leaders to partner with HUD and USICH to use American Rescue Plan resources—alongside other federal, tribal, state, and local resources—to set and achieve ambitious goals to re-house households experiencing homelessness through a Housing First approach, and to add new units of affordable housing into the development pipeline by December 31, 2022. Within the national goals, communities will set and achieve local re-housing and unit creation goals.
Secretary Fudge launched House America during a virtual event, which included panel discussions on re-housing and unit creation and the following speakers:
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Vice Chair of USICH Denis McDonough;
- White House American Rescue Plan Coordinator Gene Sperling;
- Governor Gavin Newsom of California;
- Governor Janet Mills of Maine;
- Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr., of Cherokee Nation;
- Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, Texas;
- Mayor Randall Woodfin of Birmingham, Alabama;
- Mayor Andrew Ginther of Columbus, Ohio;
- Mayor Michael Hancock of Denver;
- Mayor Quinton Lucas of Kansas City, Missouri;
- Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles;
- Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona;
- Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava of Miami-Dade County, Florida;
- Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark, New Jersey;
- Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, California;
- Mayor Jim Kenney of Philadelphia;
- Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix, Arizona;
- Mayor Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento, California;
- Mayor Todd Gloria of San Diego;
- Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle; and
- Supervisor Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles County.
