🏘️ Housing is a Human Right!🏘️

At Amparo, we believe in the power of safe, stable housing for every family. This recent The New York Times op-ed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezz and underscores the urgent need to decommodify housing.

As advocates, we stand in solidarity with efforts to recognize that housing is a human right and a public good for all. We know that housing stability builds strong, resilient communities. By supporting housing laws such as this one, we can create real, lasting change for our communities.

Opinion | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tina Smith: Our Solution to the Housing Crisis (Gift Article) Instead of treating real estate as a commodity, we can underwrite the construction of millions of permanently affordable homes and apartments.

Homelessness is a housing problem. At Amparo, we believe that keeping people housed and protecting them from eviction is an effective means of preventing homelessness. But we also recognize the need for more affordable housing options. “Studies consistently show that a lack of affordable housing is the best predictor of homelessness. Whereas housing markets characterized by high rent prices and low vacancy rates are shown to drive homelessness, variations in rates of homelessness across communities in the U.S. do not appear to be related to the number of individuals suffering from mental illness or substance use disorders whatsoever.”

The stereotype that people experiencing homelessness have lost housing due to mental illness or substance abuse has misinformed many policies and system-level solutions needed to adequately address mental illness, substance abuse, and homelessness.
