New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC), Veteran Housing Corp would ask three questions about your housing projects: 1. How much funding, federal tax credits, or government benefits or incentives from all government sources did the projects receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants will not be displaced after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions! https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8

Are you struggling to find your purpose? You're not alone. Many of us have been on the same journey. But the truth is, purpose can be found in many ways, including occupation, acts of service, and hobbies. If you're currently between jobs, volunteering, community service, or creative endeavors can help you find purpose. I started volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, picking up construction and local ReStore shifts, and found much enjoyment in swinging hammers and helping build houses. If construction sounds like something you'd enjoy, click on the link below to find your local Habitat for Humanity Chapter and sign up!

YES! is starting with its first activity this week: Post a picture demonstrating how your work/studies have a positive impacton community. Feel free to explain it: what is your community that you serve/inhabit? What is the most rewarding thing about helping community? What is something that you think communities would benefit from your work, that is different or unconventional? For me personally, my local community is in Upstate New York, and as there are many people who have moved here to appreciate the natural beauty of the area, as well as locals who have lived here for generations, everyone has some story to tell from their perspective of the area’s natural history. One thing that is rewarding about serving it is seeing people and families come together and have fun in a local setting, and seeing that they can do fun and rewarding things for the environment right where they are. And, I truly believe that my community could really start to benefit from their creative projects being celebrated as a new way of collaborating in a local setting, to set an example for other communities. In order to create change, we need to embrace our unique skills and the qualities that make us outstanding. The environment is filled with communities, and we are one of them, contributing to it with our output. If our output is positive and fulfilling for everyone, just imagine how the Earth community can become even stronger than before! #community #earth #earthcommunity #communityaction #communityclimate
