Home Stability Is a Human RIGHT
Everyone deserves Safe, Secure, and Clean AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
At Once Incarcerated Anonymous, we understand how hard it is to reenter society after imprisonment. We believe in providing holistic resources for formerly incarcerated civilians and their families to reduce recidivism and promote zero entry for children. OIA exists for the sole purpose of providing wellness communities for formerly incarcerated people (F.I.P) and justice-impacted families. We are a Housing Advocacy, Community Development Consulting and Community Economic Development nonprofit working to End Housing Discrimination.
YES, even people who have criminal records deserve a home.
Housing Survey Here:
Housing Research Survey
This a private self reporting survey that will aid in future Housing Rights Advocacy!
**Purpose of the Survey:**
Once Incarcerated Anonymous is conducting a survey to gather data on the housing stability of individuals with criminal backgrounds who have experienced homelessness after their release from incarceration. This survey aims to identify:
-
The number of individuals with criminal backgrounds who have been homeless post-release.
-
The frequency of homelessness after incarceration.
-
Differences in housing stability among urban, suburban, and rural populations of formerly incarcerated individuals.
-
To inform others about the new Supreme Court ruled to criminalizing homelessness on June 28, 2024: Grants Pass v. Johnson case.
This data is vital for informing upcoming policy changes regarding housing rights for people with criminal backgrounds, particularly in light of the proposed regulations by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discussed on April 10, 2024.
Definitions:
Justice Impacted Homelessness: Defined as anyone who has a criminal background, who does not have their name on a lease, anyone who is couch hopping; and/or does not own a house or rental property as being homeless.
Justice Impacted Homelessness Endangerment: as living arrangement agreements (verbal or written) with others (relationship, family, or friend) and are on parole or probation and often threaten to be reported to your parole or probation officer to be sent back to prison or jail.
