What if the Best Ideas for America Are the Ones No One Wants to Hear?

  • Policy advocate Foscarinis presented a detailed argument on homelessness and housing rights spanning 2006 to 2019 in the United States.
  • This argument arose amid rising bans on sleeping in vehicles, loitering, and camping, along with laws like Kentucky's 2024 property owner shooting allowance.
  • Foscarinis emphasizes that homelessness is a policy failure, asserts housing must be a human right, and highlights Finland’s model targeting homelessness elimination by 2027.
  • The National Homeless Law Center reports a 213% rise in vehicle sleeping bans and a 92% increase in camping bans between 2006 and 2019, illustrating broad criminalization patterns.
  • Foscarinis concludes that legally recognizing housing as a right is essential for effective interventions and that society chooses whether homelessness continues to exist.
