The resolution urges the U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development to prioritize transitional housing for homeless individuals and families, particularly those fleeing domestic violence (DV). It highlights the challenges faced by homeless individuals, including the lack of stable housing and the financial barriers that prevent victims of DV from securing safe and affordable permanent housing. Transitional housing programs, which offer up to 24 months of safe accommodation along with supportive services such as financial education, life skills training, and counseling, are essential for helping these individuals regain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.

The resolution also emphasizes the exacerbating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on homelessness, noting that many individuals are struggling with unemployment and financial instability, particularly in high-rent areas. By advocating for the prioritization of transitional housing, the resolution aims to provide a pathway for homeless individuals and families, including DV survivors, to access the necessary time and resources to rebuild their lives and secure permanent housing solutions.
