Today is historic. People impacted by the housing crisis are proposing a #HomesGuarantee: a complete overhaul of our economy, and a vision to eradicate housing insecurity and homelessness once and for all. Nothing short of this will do: http://homesguarantee.com pic.twitter.com/qblFTZiwqx
The #HomesGuarantee: 12 mill social housing units, massive reinvestment in public housing, a tenant bill of rights including universal rent control, reparations. A climate and racial justice intervention, it’s what we need to meet the scale, breadth, depth of the housing crisis
Our radical team has set me on FIRE. If anyone's gonna change the world, it's this crew: residents of public housing, people experiencing homelessness, the best organizers in the country, and brilliant thinkers who followed grassroots leadership: http://homesguarantee.com/our-team pic.twitter.com/aYqITXkxbp
Putting the final touches on the #HomesGuarantee, I thought about Terry, a man who has experienced homelessness for a decade in Kansas City. He knows that the solution is not more shelters or more vouchers. The solution is a Homes Guarantee.
By a conspiracy of the profiteers, we have been convinced that housing is a commodity. This is just how it is. You pay rent to a landlord, he makes money, and you completely lack security. Because, perversely, people and institutions profit from Terry remaining homeless.
Housing is treated as a commodity when it should be guaranteed as a human right, and people die on the streets when we have more than enough resources to house everyone. We need a #HomesGuarantee. Now.
eager to hear your thoughts when you've had a chance to read!

This would make a pretty good basis for triple committee canvasses: housing, gnd, heidi.
I'm pretty sure she does this through the tax code (heavily flawed way of providing assistance of acute problems to poor folks) and homelessness was not sufficiently dealt with in SF in the 2000s
