A very abridged history of mass homelessness …. 1933 Congress enacts National Industrial Recovery Act to allocate funding for low rent housing. 1934 FDR launches Federal Housing Administration to stabilize national housing market. 1937 The US Housing Act of 1937 establishes the first public housing program.

Instagram post 1948159890300544827_4749883252 Thank you Street Roots family for making 2018 such a fantastic year of growth, change and stability at Street Roots. We started off the year with a new Executive Director, Kaia Sand, and we ended it with the fastest selling newspaper in our history. In between, thanks to you, we supported more than 700 vendors to earn an income and get on the path to stability through the vendor program, mourned together at the loss of eight beautiful vendors, and celebrated our community through barbecues, pizza parties and a biweekly Tuesday breakfast. Fifty two brand new editions and a vendor created zine went out the Street Roots front door this year—and you supported us all the way through! Portland, we are stronger because of your support! You have until midnight to make a year end donation on @giveguide (under the Human Services section) to help us stay strong. Bright things are ahead for Street Roots and for all of us in 2019. Happy New Year and thanks for the love! Chalkboard Art: Helen Hill #PDX #HappyNewYear #2019 #instaPDX #igersPDX #showupirl #give
