Article appears to be almost entirely WP:OR[edit]

Unfortunately, given the importance of the topic, almost everything in this article is sourced to either a government website or the advocacy group Coalition for the Homeless (itself a dodgy article, with the majority of its information sourced to its subject). Additional citations are to the World Socialist Web Site and the ACLU. Almost none of the material is cited to WP:RS, and the precious little that is appears to be WP:OR—as is much of the article itself. While citations of an advocacy group might be useful in creating an article, it should be obvious why they oughtn't form its basis. In short: this article doesn't meet Wikipedia standards for WP:VERIFIABLE, doesn't provide a broad, WP:NPOV description of its topic, and doesn't read anything like a proper encyclopedia article. Eager to hear what others think—thanks! ElleTheBelle 13:12, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
