The average American life expectancy is roughly 78 years. For an unhoused person, it plunges to between 47 and 53 years. Homelessness literally steals three decades of human life. Housing isn't just shelter—it is life support. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingFirst #RightToShelter #SovereignWealth​

Over 127,000 unaccompanied youth are navigating public school entirely on their own, fleeing abuse, neglect, or rejection. Housing is the single most vital intervention to protect them from trafficking and generational trauma. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingJustice #HousingFirst #RightToShelter

09/18/26 PM: Did YOU have Dinner? 14,000,000 children are starving in America! 770,000 more lost SNAP benefits! 1 in 4 around the world wakeup hungry! You can mute/block me. I don't care. I'll not stop! Will YOU Be Voting for Children to eat in 11/26 & giving to or working in a local food bank?

Youth experiencing homelessness without a high school diploma are 4.5 times more likely to become chronically homeless adults. Denying safe, stable housing to youth is a direct sentence to lifelong poverty and premature mortality on the street. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingFirst #RightToShelter

Unhoused Americans have an all-cause mortality rate 3.5 to 4.2 times higher than the general public. Being deprived of shelter is as fatal as chronic, untreated disease. We must treat housing as #fundamental #healthcare to end this loss of life. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingFirst #RightToShelter

I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children & youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually.

When researchers cross-referenced hospital and #Medicaid records with #coroner counts, #homeless #deaths doubled. Our official statistics ignore #unhoused people who die in emergency rooms, hiding the true lethal severity of America's housing crisis. #SovereignWealth #EndHomelessness #RightToShelter

Last week, the House voted to advance $425 million in additional shelter funding, while rejecting a Republican-led effort to overturn immigrant protections — and progressives worked to limit and make temporary the Governor's call for new shelter restrictions. www.repmikeconnolly.org/defending_th...

Independent research reveals at least 700,000 unaccompanied adolescents (ages 13–17) experience homelessness completely on their own each year. 700,000 children with no parents, no beds, and nowhere safe to sleep. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingJustice #HousingFirst #RightToShelter #SovereignWealth

#Toronto of course you closed the surge warming sites. The high usage shows your failure to provide real shelter. @mayoroliviachow.bsky.social @alejandrabravo.bsky.social
