Spent the past few days in San Francisco🌁 for the National Alliance to End Homelessness 2024 Innovations and Solutions for Ending Unsheltered Homelessness conference. Nearly 40% of the more than 1,200 attendees were from California, but we were able to hear about unique approaches from both across the State and the nation. In this field — success looks like sharing and collaboration🫱🏾🫲🏼! And at LA Family Housing, we thrive on working in coalition because we believe “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Conference Takeaways: 1️⃣Ending homelessness is possible. 2️⃣Building more housing is key. 3️⃣Elevating lived experience is necessary. 4️⃣Housing justice is racial justice. 5️⃣Budget advocacy is a must. 6️⃣And going it alone is selfish and deadly.

In Maricopa County, a collaborative initiative offers vital resources to those facing eviction, uniting community and legal systems in support. At the Southwest Regional Justice Center, key players such as judges and legal advocates outlined available assistance, emphasizing a supportive approach over punitive actions. This effort, which includes sealing eviction cases to protect credit scores, offers individuals a fresh start and combats housing insecurity. This approach significantly benefits the community by fostering resilience and care. By ensuring that tenants have access to virtual hearings and necessary legal resources, the system is adapting to meet the needs of our community. Such measures help prevent eviction, contributing to community health by averting homelessness. They stand as a testament to the power of support in overcoming adversity and ensuring stability. A New Leaf sees this initiative as a reflection of its mission to change lives through support and opportunity. It underscores the importance of community collaboration in providing a safety net, aligning closely with A New Leaf's commitment to helping those in need navigate towards a brighter future. https://lnkd.in/giPBnBgH

(Draft) Inverclyde Community Justice Outcomes Improvement Plan 2024 Last week Inverclyde Community Justice Partnership published its draft Community Justice Outcomes Improvement Plan. This plan initially commenced following publication of the National Strategy for Community Justice in 2022 and developed throughout 2023. The CJOIP has five priority outcomes reflecting the four nationally determined outcomes and a locally determined outcome around housing and homelessness outcomes for those in the justice system. The document outlines progress from the previous CJOIP published in 2015, an analysis of community justice locally and action underway by the Partnership to meet the priority aims. Regarding the priority outcomes a range of proposed actions are included over the next few years. The document has now moved into an engagement phase until mid-March. There is a consultation survey for groups and individuals locally, a planned week of engagement with the third sector, engagement with individuals who have lived/living experience of the justice system and a number of staff engagement sessions from across the Partnership and beyond. The draft CJOIP and consultation survey are available via https://lnkd.in/ep_DHFH9 EDITED COMMENT. The idea of this post is to generate discussion if anyone wants to ask/comment/respond to anything.

Wow...things were worse with Tory…I know that…but like. Did the council read OHR Commision Publications and do the opposite??? Oh, yeah. OHRC is too WOKE for those C.'s "The City is committed to engaging the community to support the positive integration of the shelter into the neighbourhood. Community engagement includes ongoing communication and a Com­munity Liaison Committee (CLC) that was established in late 2020. More information about some of the community engagement can be found at the “Virtual Information Session in Sept 2020,”.the CLC provides resident representatives, businesses, and community organizations with an op­portunity to be actively involved in identifying concerns and challenges related to the shelter, as well as supporting the successful integration of the shelter into the community. If you live in the Scarborough-Guild wood area and are interested in learning more about upcoming meetings and available opportunities on the committee," Meetings with Community Groups... I have to go through that again? The earlier stuff hasnt even been resolved. I'm still waiting for me FOI. Hey, how about meetings with the homeless and fuck everyone else. It's their lives. Like those meetings should NEVER happen!!! Not according to me..according to the Ontario Human Rights Commission. If it is in a Commission Policy, then it is what the tribunal bases their decisions on. : Section 45.5 of the Code states that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (the Tribunal) may consider policies approved by the OHRC in a human rights proceeding before the Tribunal. Where a party or an intervenor in a proceeding requests it, the Tribunal SHALL consider an OHRC policy. How much did the CHRT just validate that Indigenous Children need to be awarded as remedy for the discrimination by the Government in not affording them equal privileges as other Canadians? It's in the $Billions. One more suggestion. Let people other than city hall decide who is on committees as people who aid the COUNCIL in understanding things from a lived experience perspective. Who's the dick tator? Wake The F# Up. This isn't a joke. People are dying. City Hall's Bright Idea of being fair from 2020 and Tory who was not a Torie.

Peel Region had a strong presence at the 2024 AMO conference and I’m pleased to see that our HOME advocacy framework was featured.   Peel’s affordable housing crisis is impacting residents from all walks of life and with a range of needs; from people experiencing chronic homelessness to households spending far too much on housing costs, and one crisis away from precarious housing.  While our staff and community partners have adapted to the changing housing landscape and are delivering programs and supports that are aligned with community need, we need all levels of government to work together to enact policies to help more residents get and keep affordable, stable housing. This includes providing significantly more funding for community (social) and supportive housing. Last year, we launched our HOME advocacy framework; built on extensive research, sector expertise, and achievable goals. Since its launch we have had encouraging discussions with federal, provincial, and municipal governments. We will continue to make the case for HOME and report on its progress.
