Federal policy changes are putting women and children at the greatest risk. HUD is moving away from the proven “Housing First” model and toward short-term programs with strict requirements, threatening up to 170,000 people in permanent supportive housing across the country.
The human toll is real:
-
259,000 people experiencing homelessness are in families with children. Nearly 150,000 children were homeless — a 33% increase in one year.
-
Women and girls make up 58% of people in homeless families; 90% of these families are headed by women, most single parents.
-
Frontline nonprofit staff are also disproportionately women: nearly 75% of social service and housing nonprofit workers are female, bearing the profound responsibility of caring for families in need.
FACETS is preparing to respond, but we cannot do it alone.
