"description": "Homelessness, and the threat of homelessness, is at the root of so many challenges we face. It keeps people with HIV from being healthy; it keeps LGBTQIA+ people from being safe; it forces Black and Brown people into more conflicts with the police; and 99% of us are one crisis away from homelessness. And homelessness is a choice -- a choice that Mayor Kenney makes with his budget, his management, and his priorities. We don't choose to be homeless. Mayor Kenney chooses to: allow landlords to keep 12,000 vacant properties in a city with 6,000 homeless people spend our "Affordable Housing Trust Fund" on for-profit developers making houses for people making up to $105k per year operate a shelter system with no safe options for gender non-conforming, trans*, and non-binary people shut down the successful COVID hotel program months before any other city, and refuse to re-open it even with 100% federal reimbursement spend money on police and city services to shuffle unhoused people around the city, threatening their health and well-being without providing any safe housing options provide city contracts to operators who don't abide by the city's own "trauma informed" and "housing first" policies allow his administration to undercount how many people are unhoused (by as much as 300%) so that we get fewer federal resources",
