Your decisions (still) matter


Homelessness is a policy choice—made worse when some of us are denied the very essentials we all need to live, like health care, housing and food. As we assess alarmingly rapid and uncertain changes to federal policies as an agency, we anticipate:

  • High numbers of neighbors without homes losing their Medicaid coverage

    • Documentation and address verification are an extreme burden for clients already, even without
      upcoming work requirements and twice annual renewals
  • More Marylanders seeking and needing care at Health Care for the Homeless

    • Cuts to food assistance and housing services mean fewer resources for low-income people in our
      communities and more of us losing our homes
  • More people getting arrested or punished for being poor, sick or without housing

    • Only housing ends homelessness: condemning proven and effective interventions, like housing and harm reduction, hurts us all

How each of us invests in our values in this moment makes a difference. Our community is powerful when we take action together. Help fight for a future where everyone is healthy and has a safe home.
