It’s easy to make assumptions about homelessness, but the reality is far more complex. Many of our neighbors are working hard every day, yet still struggle to find stable housing because of rising costs and a lack of affordable options. Homelessness is rarely about a lack of effort—it’s about barriers that are often out of people’s control. These are systemic challenges, not personal failings. When we recognize the truth behind homelessness, we can focus on real solutions and support our neighbors with empathy and action. It’s time to move past the myths and stand together for a stronger, more informed community.

We’re so grateful to First Hebrew Congregation for their incredible generosity and commitment to our community. Through Operation Isaiah, a long-standing tradition focused on giving back to the community, they brought together over 1,000 pounds of food—an amazing example of neighbors supporting neighbors. These donations will help stock Fred’s Pantry throughout the winter, ensuring families have access to nourishing foods. Thank you to everyone at First Hebrew Congregation for being a part of our shared effort to build a stronger, healthier Peekskill.

The notion that America spends generously on services for the unhoused is a myth. Communities with the fewest resources tend to have the most visible homelessness, making it easier to blame the individuals sleeping on our streets rather than press our leaders for systemic solutions.

Yet, solutions exist and have been proven: expanding affordable housing, supporting employment, and providing long-term services for those with greater needs. These approaches are not only more humane but also more cost-effective than allowing people to cycle
through shelters, emergency rooms, and jails at enormous taxpayer expense.

Facts matter. Let’s challenge the myths together.
