Arizona Housing Coalition (AZHC)

🏘 Individuals experiencing homelessness and vulnerably housed populations experience disproportionately high rates of substance abuse. While individuals may use substances as a way to cope with adverse living conditions, stress, and the trauma of life events - including homelessness - it is also the case that without stable housing individuals often experience barriers to accessing and following treatment recommendations for substance abuse disorders. 💊 Join us on November 6 for an in-depth, informative training session with Nancy Juarez, Community Engagement Coordinator at the Attorney General's Office! An overview of drug trends, information on social media and the online sale of illicit drugs, signs of use and overdose, and available resources for service providers, caregivers, and those who use will be provided. 👉 Visit https://lnkd.in/gsg6Bgfu to learn more and register. This training, offered only once, is free for AZHC members and $15 for non-members. ---------- #homeless #homelessness #housing #opioids #drugtrends #substanceabuse #substanceabusedisorders #training #education #professionaldevelopment #arizona #overdose #resources #caregivers #serviceproviders #vulnerable #treatment #adverseliving #stress #trauma #community #vulnerablepopulations #coping #barriers

🏡 This election, Arizona voters will be asked to decide on #Proposition312, a plan that offers property tax refunds to owners who face costs from public issues like homelessness, vandalism, and drug use. While this might sound like a reasonable solution, Proposition 312 doesn't address the real causes behind these challenges. 📉 Instead, it creates financial stress for local governments without solving underlying problems and could, in fact, exacerbate the very problems it aims to address by reducing essential services, exacerbating homelessness, and undermining public safety. 🗳 We urge voters to reject Proposition 312 and instead support comprehensive, well-funded strategies that address these issues effectively and sustainably. #VoteNoOn312 👉 Visit https://lnkd.in/gESN42f3 for more information. ---------- #vote #voting #voters #election #proposition #housing #homeless #homelessness #arizona #arizonavoting #strategy #funding #sustainability #publicsafety #publicservices #solution #solutions #challenges #arizonahousing #ballot
