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 deemed essential for helping these individuals regain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.

The resolution also notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the struggles of homeless individuals and families, making the need for transitional housing even more critical. With many facing unemployment and financial uncertainty, transitional housing can provide the necessary time and resources for these households to recover and eventually secure permanent housing. By urging the Secretary for Housing and Urban Development to focus on transitional housing, the resolution aims to create pathways for homeless individuals and families, including DV survivors, to attain long-term stability and safety.
