Changing Laws, Changing Lives! We are the only national legal group dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness.

TAKE ACTION: Demand Congress pass #HousingNotHandcuffs! Today, Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Rep. Maxwell Frost introduced the Housing Not Handcuffs Act to help solve homelessness with housing, not arrests or tickets. Demand your reps join the fight to ensure housing for all!More people are sleeping outside than ever before because housing is wildly unaffordable and most people in the U.S. can't afford the basic costs of living. Meanwhile, politicians are giving more handouts to billionaires and handcuffing poor people.

That’s why we’re thrilled that this Thursday, the #HousingNotHandcuffs will be introduced in Congress, thanks to @repjayapal and @repmaxwellfrost. Stay tuned! ... See MoreSee Less
