On May 5, 2021 a federal district court judge ruled in favor of landlords and property owners claiming the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) did not have the authority to issue the federal eviction moratorium (set to expire June 30, 2021).
In this issue, we highlight critical policy and funding updates, as well as recent resources related to eviction protections, permanent supportive housing (PSH), vaccine distribution and more.
This newsletter highlights some timely policy news, provides updates on our efforts to shift coordinated entry processes, includes information on how you can increase affordable housing as well as several other new tools and products. Beyond any resource we can share, we invite you to join us in thinking about what it means to be both aspirational and practical as you set your intentions for the year ahead. Who will you be in 2021? How compelling is your vision? How will you partner in service of change? Will you take inspired action?
In this issue, we begin to make the case for a bold change in how local communities prioritize vulnerabilities and housing assistance - and the need for a nationwide shift to a trauma-informed and culturally-responsive approach. Employing these principles to re-imagine and re-design housing systems will benefit all individuals and families in need of housing supports, regardless of victimization experience.
This issue of the Safe Housing Partnerships newsletter seeks to honor the lessons being learned as a result of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. In March of this year, as widespread public health measures were advised and then mandated, essential workers and social service providers across the spectrum scrambled to make the necessary pivots to acquire personal protective equipment (PPE), to protect and support essential frontline staff, and to safely and equitably reach, house, and resource members of those communities who are often and historically poorly served. As the coronavirus pandemic rages on, so too, does historic and structural racism. The linkages between poor health and lack of safe housing can no longer be denied. This edition highlights the resources developed and foundational lessons learned from this global public health crisis to inform our strategies for safely housing survivors in a collaborative, equitable, and accessible way.
