Senior Director of Health Equity, Research, and Policy Development — Plymouth Housing, King County, WA
Thank you National Health Care for the Homeless Council for highlighting the accountability we as leaders, and our organizations as a whole, have when it comes to creating the structures, policies, communication pathways, and organizational cultures that allow “self-care” to occur. Self-care without resources - including time - isn’t possible. Self-care without leadership and org policies protecting your right to engage in what sustains you isn’t safe. Focusing on self-care while evading our responsibility to make that accessible, safe, and available to everyone doing the work not only isn’t helpful, it’s harmful. Research on what drives burnout leaves no doubt that this gaslighting of staff results in burnout and attrition as those who love the work are forced to leave orgs that fail them. How about we collectively agree that organizations must provide staff with information on elements of the work environment ensuring staff’s right to self-care doesn’t risk current harm to them, nor to their professional trajectory? Orgs that fail to do so will be fined a ‘gaslighting penalty,’ which will create a resource pool used by staff in orgs that fail them, ensuring staff members get that self-care they deserve. Can someone make that into a WAC or something?
Clinicians serving people experiencing homelessness are very aware of the role self-care plays in one’s well-being and ability to care for others. We also know that self-care cannot only focus on the individual — it requires the support of teams, organizations, and communities. What can we learn from one other to foster renewal and restoration in our work and our lives? Join us April 24 at 11 a.m. CDT for an interactive Community Conversation where we'll explore individual and organizational strategies that support well-being. Community Conversations are not webinars; they are discussions on issues affecting providers of all types who serve people who are unhoused. Register to join us here: https://lnkd.in/gPbvy6Yf

Housing is healthcare!
At Alliance, we believe housing is health care and that’s why we have infused over $7.6 million to date into efforts to house the adults and families we serve. It takes a collective effort to house our most vulnerable individuals and that is why Alliance is pleased to showcase some of our inspiring success stories. This video is the first in a series of mini-documentaries outlining our work to support people experiencing homelessness. Over the course of the series, you'll hear from doctors, nurses, landlords, developers and advocates, as well as the stories of those that have experienced housing insecurity. https://ow.ly/VkLC50QE3jK

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙨: 𝘼 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 The homeless crisis in the United States has reached alarming levels, with tens of thousands of people living on the streets, many of whom suffer from chronic conditions, substance abuse, and mental health issues. While numerous strategies have been proposed and implemented to address this issue, one often overlooked solution lies in proactive community engagement—specifically, through enhanced funding for parks and recreational programs that can help mitigate the factors leading to homelessness, particularly among youth. By creating vibrant, active spaces and offering robust programming, communities can foster a sense of belonging, provide constructive outlets for energy, and offer early interventions that address the root causes of homelessness before they manifest in adulthood.

Let's start by unlearning the lessons we've learned about how we view, treat, and respond to people with disabilities, the mentally ill, and the homeless. We come together as a community to relearn how we perceive and treat people, and together we relearn how to build inclusive communities and allow everyone to participate fully in community life. We break down our perceptions and learned biases, and allow our community to open its doors. We break down barriers, biases, and perceptions, and rebuild communities where everyone can find a meaningful role in the community.
