New Article Examines Connections between Housing and Climate Change

The National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) recently released an article exploring how climate change impacts homelessness. The article shows that climate change deeply impacts people with the fewest resources – and disproportionately communities of color – leading to higher rates of displacement, harm, and loss of life. The article also addresses the history of climate change and its impacts on people experiencing homelessness, while suggesting that homelessness must be treated as an emergency made even more acute by the warming climate. Like other recent articles, the NAEH article makes the case that environmental issues and housing challenges are inextricably linked and must therefore be addressed together. Read the article here.
