Government officials including Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and several representatives met with mayors from various cities to discuss strategies to combat homelessness and expand affordable housing. The focus is on federal-city partnerships, additional resources, and legislative efforts to address the housing crisis, particularly for veterans. Initiatives include making federal funds available, creating affordable rental housing with necessary services, and improving housing quality.
I joined @RepMarkTakano and @MayorOfLA to address veteran homelessness in our nation. It’s imperative that we do everything we can to ensure homeless veterans have access to affordable housing and other resources they need to get back on their feet. https://t.co/P6azfItKAe
I met with HUD @DepSecTodman to discuss the state of homelessness in America and what additional resources are needed to expand access to affordable, reliable housing. Housing is a human right and our funding levels should reflect this. https://t.co/iWtcwTRlGx
As HHS Secretary & Chair of @USICHgov, addressing homelessness is a top priority for me. I was honored to host the @usmayors Task Force on Homelessness and meet with mayors from across the country, from Mesa to Scranton and everywhere in between, to talk about this key issue. https://t.co/TJlbogSF3y
Met with @MayorRickHNL and a group of mayors from across the country who are working toward ending homelessness in the US. We talked about how we can work together to fight homelessness and how cities can do more to build housing by changing outdated zoning laws. https://t.co/sXo6NgN7hj
.@HUDgov is expanding affordable housing and improving housing quality. Congress must fully support these efforts that keep safe roofs over the heads of so many. Join me & @AppropsDems today at 10 AM as we discuss these important investments: https://t.co/MSJ5rqRmdU https://t.co/KhkXV3swbr
The U.S. housing crisis has reached new heights. I'm proud to introduce the Healthy Affordable Housing Act with @RepHaleyStevens and @RepJenniffer, which seeks to create affordable rental housing with necessary services nearby or within buildings with affordable housing units. https://t.co/mDlZ4luOrp

As @usichgov chair, I hosted 40+ mayors from across the country to talk about our efforts to end homelessness.
