Mayor of San Francisco is a prime example of speaking about a matter without knowing the the whole situation or the story behind the data. Mayor London, stated that 60 percent of homeless individuals reject shelter. The survey used to collect the data did not account for various variables, such as insufficient beds, lack of accessibility, and more. Who would go to a facility knowing there are no beds? If you're in a wheelchair, who would travel miles to such a facility? If the facility lacks a wheelchair ramp, how are individuals in wheelchairs supposed to use it? All these issues contribute to marked rejections. Now, the Mayor of SF is making a rookie move by attributing the rejection to 60-ish percent of the homeless population without understanding the underlying factors. This serves as an example for future leaders on what not to do—ensure a comprehensive understanding of data percentages and the specific situations before presenting statistics.

Can the recent Grants Pass decision by the Supreme Court bring about best practices for communities in supporting vulnerable populations? We think so. What it takes is a community that wants to address homelessness as a "whole of community" problem, include the cops as key stakeholders in the process, integrate some cutting edge technology, and actually work to solve the problem. https://lnkd.in/eXWEwBY4

Currently, the available technology "has not kept up with the long-running [homelessness] crisis". The tech includes "outdated computer systems with error-filled data", and systems and networks that do not communicate with one another. Enhanced and upgraded technology may be a key component to finding available shelter. #housing #unsheltered #homelessness #homelesscrisis #findingshelter #technology #advancedtechnology

We must stop thriving on the backs of the needy. part 1 Can we afford to keep letting homeless people waste away? We waste their bodies, time and any resources they get usually turns into waste in the alleys of all our cities. If the #homeless were rewarded with jobs by the States, for helping cities clean things up faster, or wherever large human resources are needed!? They could report in for helping with big disasters or possibly locate missing people for the grieving families. The homeless know where all the action, adventure or pollution is located in cities populous. After surviving the virus, they know more about trash on the street than ever before. They know where the chemical is hazardous and polluted locations around every State Capitol. That untapped human potential could be a swarm of hard workers in one place like in the video. They could clean up the whole city's ugliest neighborhoods in just a few weeks. They need money or a place to stay while they work for the government. The business should be taxed to provide discounted Tiny homes for permanent housing assistance Grants from each state and major Corporations would be perfect for the homeless employees. Why not make an offer of equal opportunity to the homeless who want jobs to clean up your cities? Would you still expect homeless children to get just one portion of fish, lettuce and bread? Or have shelters that teach trades like fishing, growing vegetables and cooking instead? If an American President ever made a fair offering to states to federally authorize all tiny home contractors to compete for business? Not just in rural areas but designed in communities near the city with public transportation for their convenience? These tiny home communities are not like homeless camps with unruly people. The new home allows them earned residency like in a Red light district. You let them earn money and make small payments on their rent to own Tiny homes. Let them buy, lease and keep or resell as a permanent asset. Something to bequeath to relatives or good friends. All who want to work and be paid a states funded Homes could earn a tiny home lot. I guarantee most would volunteer to participate. They could start cleaning up cities or be available for all natural disasters with fast mobilization methods like smart car pickups. So many other positive types of Human assistance from the homeless to their fellow citizens that people will come to love them. Especially if they are included in attempts to locate missing persons like children. If the Congress began to authorize businesses to construct Tiny Home lots for permanent home construction? The states with the most BLM lands or private will benefit for Tiny Home Lots. By creating them they allow more peaceful, lawful citizens, living good with less desperation. Instead we have homeless people put into jails or mental hospitals out of spite and anger.

The Homelessness Point-in-Time Count Solution was just had a significant update with this release. This solution has been popular for Continuums of Care and local governments conducting the annual Homelessness Point-in-Time Count for reporting to the Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for several years now. The issue we kept hearing is how challenging it is to manage volunteers and ensure your whole community is canvassed. The update to the solution addresses the challenge of volunteer management and more-    https://lnkd.in/g9KS3i3Q

More needs to be done by those that have the means to create viable solutions.

An accurate count of people experiencing homelessness is critical for allocating resources where they are needed most. Esri's new 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁-𝗶𝗻-𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 will help agencies plan and perform the upcoming mandated HUD counts. https://ow.ly/hVlM50SThYz
