The people who don’t view housing as a human right are those who believe they will always have housing.

They can’t fathom becoming disabled, losing their savings or their support network.

They can’t comprehend having everything ripped away from them.

They think they’re the exception.

They’re not.

People don’t plan for homelessness or disability.

It just takes one accident, illness or stroke of bad luck.

We all need and deserve a safety net.

@broadwaybabyto Do you have street newspapers where you live? I've been reading the one in my city since it was started many years ago, and the articles written by homeless people really drove home the message to young me that homeless people are "normal people". It can happen to anybody. The risk is higher in some places, but it's never zero.
