Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights
- Introduced
- Adopted by House
Overview
This resolution expresses a commitment to ending homelessness by 2029 and affirms civil rights protections for unhoused individuals, including housing, healthcare, employment, and freedom from discrimination.
Why it matters: While homelessness affects all Americans including Christians, this bill does not address any of the core concern areas for Christian families—education policy, parental rights, curriculum, religious freedom, or family autonomy.
