𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙉𝙚𝙩 Bruce Katz, Benjamin Preis and Michael Saadine emphasize the importance of a robust housing safety net to prevent homelessness and make housing affordable. We advocate for universal vouchers, renter tax credits, and preserving affordable housing. Addressing homelessness requires targeted federal investments, like expanding emergency rental assistance, increasing shelter capacity, and promoting supportive housing. Local innovations, such as Housing Command Centers, should be scaled nationwide.
