BEDS Bulletin! The Department of Housing and Urban Development is pushing communities to invest in other solutions as cities and states increasingly respond to unsheltered homelessness with encampment sweeps and laws criminalizing outdoor sleeping.

Just having that key to the door gives me a sense of happiness. It's invigorating, it is a special feeling.
The LATH program has truly helped. It is an inspiration to gain independence as a woman, as a mom, and has helped me grow.
BEDS really helped me find the stability and structure that I needed.
The staff at BEDS is great. Great is an understatement. Awesome, especially Rapid Rehousing Case Manager Beth Kulpinski. She goes out of her way for people.
