Call for Housing Justice in the FY2024 Budget

March 15, 2023

Next week, Mayor Bowser will release her proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The Way Home Campaign, an MK-led advocacy campaign, is hard at work with our partners to ensure this nearly $20 billion budget keeps DC on track towards our shared goal of ending chronic homelessness – and we need your help!

 

The Way Home Campaign, our 110 partner organizations and 7,000 individual supporters call on Mayor Bowser to:

 

  1. Invest $55.5 million to expand Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
  2. Ensure continued access to non-congregate shelter and housing option
  3. Invest at least $4.5 million to prevent chronic homelessness
  4. Ensure that DHS and housing providers have the capacity needed to implement new and existing PSH vouchers
  5. Transform DC’s antiquated shelter system
  6. Address DC’s dire lack of low-income housing

You can join us in supporting these budget recommendations by taking action today. To learn more about how Mayor Bowser should use her budget to end chronic homelessness, read the full version of The Way Home’s budget recommendations for Fiscal Year 2024 on their blog.
