End Homelessness — Invest in Housing, Not Internment

Every person deserves a safe place to live. But as Common Dreams reports, new proposals in Utah and across the country are taking a cruel and dangerous turn — treating homelessness as a problem to be hidden, not solved. Plans for “camps” and forced relocations don’t address the causes of homelessness; they only deepen suffering and strip people of their basic human rights.

The answer to homelessness isn’t criminalization — it’s compassion. Lawmakers must invest in proven solutions: affordable housing, mental health services, addiction treatment, and good jobs with fair wages. Decades of research show that housing-first strategies save lives and strengthen communities.

No one should be punished for being poor. Our laws should reflect our values of fairness, dignity, and care for one another.

Add your name to demand lawmakers reject inhumane policies and take real action to end homelessness.

America has the resources to ensure everyone has a home — what’s missing is the political will. Together, we can demand a system rooted in housing, hope, and humanity.
