If you want something different, you have to do something different. Helping people experiencing homelessness get the resources, housing and treatment they need isn't a mystery. We know how to do this. What we are lacking is a coordinated effort to bring together our resources to rapidly triage, assess and provide help to the over 10,000 men, women and children living unhoused in our San Diego region. Sunbreak Ranch is a well-thought through concept for providing a safe, temporary place for those living in encampments across our region to relocate to where they can have their basic needs met AND be surrounded by all the services they need in one place. Let's get smart about this San Diego and build Sunbreak Ranch ASAP. Humans are suffering right now, scared for their lives and perishing on our streets. Here's what we need to do: 1. Secure a piece of land in San Diego County that is centrally located (mid-county) and offers space for SunBreak Ranch. 2. Raise funds to cover the construction of SunBreak Ranch and operating/maintenance expenses for 2 years to start (Reach out to SunBreak Ranch leadership for the amount they need). 3. Build the site. 4. Open it up for those experiencing homelessness. 5. Provide triage services, temporary housing and a safe, dignified community for these individuals and families to rest, heal, rebuild trust and discover a path for their life off the streets. 6. Help these individuals find jobs, healthcare services, education, long-term care or another path based on their individual circumstances. 7. Provide compassionate, healing support and inspiration. I'm in to help Sunset Ranch accomplish its goals. Are you? #sunsetranch #sandiego #homelessness #endinghomelessness #wecandothis Drew Moser John (J.C.) Peterson HomeAid San Diego HomeAid

Lead Ambassador PR and Marketing focused Communication Major with a Minor in Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation
Definitely take a look at this article to learn more about what we need to get a low-barrier homeless shelter in Pensacola!
Mayor Reeves shared that Pensacola cannot open a low-barrier homeless shelter without support from our local business community. Reeves hired Jon DeCarmine to write a report to figure out what it would cost to create a homeless shelter in our community. His report showed that a shelter in Pensacola could cost anywhere between $2.19 million and $3.47 million. DeCarmine, Executive Director of GRACE Marketplace, shared that 80% of the cost for a low-barrier shelter would need to be funded by local government and community partners.

Florida Considers Using Camps as Humane Solution for Homelessness https://lnkd.in/eNt3BQH6 Florida is facing a growing homeless crisis due to a lack of affordable housing. This situation leaves many people and families with no choice but to sleep in public spaces, parks, or their vehicles. The crisis affects a wide range of individuals, including those struggling with mental health and substance abuse, families with children, and military veterans. It is essential to develop effective solutions to address the symptoms and root causes of this complex problem. Recently, Florida has considered using camps as a humane solution for homelessness. However, it is important to remember that homeless individuals require specific forms of support and interventions to cater to their unique needs.

Good advice on bumblebees habitats... 🌼 keep some long grass for ground nesting bees. 🌼fill a birdbox with dry material such as laves and dead grasses for those that like nesting up high. 🌼 keep areas of your border undisturbed for those that like nesting in the ground.
Bumblebee queens are on a mission to find somewhere to nest – and they urgently need your help 👑 #BeeTheChange this spring by providing nest sites for homeless bumblebees 🐝 Discover how you can help 👉 https://ow.ly/T1SM50QOBwm
