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 emphasizes the exacerbating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on homelessness, noting that many individuals and families are struggling with unemployment and financial instability. It calls for a focus on transitional housing as a critical resource that can provide the necessary time and support for homeless households to recover and transition into permanent housing. By urging the Secretary for Housing and Urban Development to prioritize these programs, the resolution aims to enhance the opportunities for homeless individuals and families, including DV survivors, to secure safe and sustainable living conditions.
