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 addresses the exacerbating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on homelessness, noting that many individuals and families are struggling with unemployment and financial instability. It emphasizes the need for transitional housing programs to provide the necessary time and resources for homeless households to recover and secure permanent housing. By urging the Secretary for Housing and Urban Development to prioritize these programs, the resolution aims to support homeless individuals and families, including DV survivors, in their journey towards achieving long-term housing stability and financial independence.
