🏡 April is #FairHousingMonth — a time to reflect on the fight for housing equity and the work still left to do. Decades after the Fair Housing Act became a landmark step in prohibiting housing discrimination, disparities in housing access still persist—especially for marginalized communities. Dismantling structural barriers is essential to reduce the risk housing insecurity. ➡️ Swipe to learn more about Fair Housing Month and why it matters. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #equity #breaktimehub

💰 Poverty is a main driver of homelessness. Without financial security, it's difficult to maintain housing, and without stable housing, it's difficult to build financial stability. This cycle of homelessness is incredibly difficult to evade. 💙 How is Breaktime addressing this? Our financial literacy services and employment focus directly impact young people experiencing homelessness with life-changing job opportunities. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #youngadults #financialliteracy #equity #breaktimehub

🛏️💤 Quality sleep shouldn't be a result of housing status. Yet, people experiencing homelessness face extreme barriers to getting safe, restful sleep—leading to severe health consequences. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to higher rates of illness, mental health struggles, and even a shorter life expectancy. #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #youngadults #breaktimehub
