Rosa DeLauro: “Permanent supportive housing increases housing stability…”

“It's case management, child care, employment assistance and job training, life skills training, mental health services, outpatient health services, substance abuse treatment services, transportation and utility deposits, Permanent supportive housing increases housing stability, decreases arrest and jail stays, decreases time spent homelessness or in shelters, decreases the use of the emergency room, increases outpatient mental health and addiction treatment, and frankly, most important, improves people's quality of life. You provide no evidence that your proposal will work. But we know for certain that you're going to push thousands of people out of stable housing.” (04:30–05:01)
