Everyone Deserves a Home
Upon intake, 30% of McClendon Center’s clients are homeless. We work hard to connect clients with safe housing options, but it’s not easy. In addition to being homeless, these clients suffer from mental illness, food insecurity, and other issues that make recovery difficult, to say the least.
This is why the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to punish people for sleeping in public spaces is such a grave injustice.
Instead of working to address the root causes of homelessness, this decision criminalizes survival, making life even harder for people living on the streets, in parks, and in their cars. We need solutions that address the systemic issues leading to homelessness, not punitive measures that push vulnerable individuals further into the margins.
It’s time to take action and stand up for the rights of our unhoused neighbors.
Join us in advocating for compassionate and effective solutions to homelessness by participating in the Housing Not Handcuffs campaign.
Visit housingnothandcuffs.org/join to learn how you can help fight against this ruling and support efforts to provide housing and dignity for all.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home.
