📈 Data and research can equip advocates to preserve affordable housing, develop effective programs, and demonstrate the impact stable homes can provide. One way PAHRC does this by partnering with the National Low Income Housing Coalition to maintain the National Housing Preservation Database so that advocates across the country can assess preservation risks in their community.   Interested in how you can use this data? Check out how advocates in Philadelphia used the NHPD to develop policies that protect families from displacement featured in Nonprofit Quarterly ⬇ 💡 "In Philadelphia, led by Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, the City Council passed a People’s Preservation Package, which included a Right of First Refusal law that applied to residents of government-subsidized affordable housing and the creation of a directory tracking all of the city’s affordable housing subsidies and their expiration dates. These policies were prompted by an analysis by the National Housing Preservation Database, which found that the subsidies attached to over 20 percent of the city’s affordable homes will expire in the next decade, putting entire communities who depend on those subsidies for housing stability at risk of economic eviction and displacement." 👉 Interested in getting started?

🌟 Reflecting on Impact: Nearly three years ago, United Way of Greater Toledo made a strategic $100,000 investment to address our community's housing crisis. This decision was informed by valuable insights from our 211 helpline, where we saw a significant increase in calls for housing assistance. This is just one powerful example of how data from 211 not only helps us understand community needs but also empowers us to take meaningful action. 📈 🔍 Did you know? 211 data is publicly available. We encourage everyone to explore this information—it can play a crucial role in securing grants, government support, and advocating for critical community issues. 👉 Learn more and stay informed by visiting https://lnkd.in/g8y77sBZ. #UnitedWay419 #UnitingForBetterTomorrow #NWO211

The UWOR Community Needs Identification Committee (CNIC) has developed and implemented a process for analyzing data and identifying needs to drive our agency's grant making and funds allocation process. Based on that research, CNIC identified four priorities in 2023 and we will highlight each over the next several weeks. For more, download our full CNIC Report at https://lnkd.in/eQUMf-5t STABLE HOUSING ... recommended priorities: 1. Increase capacity to facilitate the prevention of eviction and the ability for rapid rehousing. 2. Increase availability of accessible housing that meets habitability standards. 3. Increase capacity for focused and coordinated housing care. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! ➡️ We are now gathering data for our 2024 report and invite you to be part of the CNIC process by making your voice heard. Complete our 5-minute community needs survey by April 26 - https://lnkd.in/gCp9vQm4 #liveunited #communityneeds #stablehousing

How Would You Spend $1M To Improve Your Neighborhood? 🏡 🏠 🏡 Look around your neighborhood. How would you spend $1 million to improve it? That’s the question Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell is posing in a pilot project aimed at promoting democracy by getting people more involved in divvying up a portion of the county’s massive $47 billion budget. Mitchell has taken $1 million out of her discretionary funds and invited residents of the Ladera Heights and Florence-Firestone communities to come up with ideas for how to spend the money. Each community gets $500,000. People of any age who live or work in those communities are eligible to make suggestions. Only those age 16 and older will be able to vote on which projects to fund. This is “real power over real money,” said Megan Castillo, coalition coordinator for the Re-Imagine L.A. Coalition, which is partnering with Mitchell’s office to implement what’s known as a participatory budgeting process. “The idea is to really build the muscle for co-governance,” she said of the project, and it’s about “deepening democracy.” Ideas need to align with the county’s Care First models, according to the submission form. Ladera Heights and Florence-Firestone each have advisory committees appointed by Mitchell to oversee the process. Each has created a broad priority list of the types of projects for which they would like to receive ideas. They include green and safe infrastructure; housing and homelessness; economic opportunities; and traffic and transportation. Among the ideas submitted to date: converting vacant lots and underused land into parks and community gardens and creating an urban tree planting program. The deadline for submitting ideas is June 15. The project comes as the Board of Supervisors evaluates a proposed budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. A special hearing is scheduled for May 15 for the board to hear public input on the plan. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4bxgN6l ✍️ Frank Stoltze 📸 L.A. County Public Library

“Councils are innovative, effective and efficient – whether it’s stepping up to provide affordable housing solutions, or running more free and low-cost community programs, we are committed to addressing Australia’s cost of living crisis but we can’t keep doing more with less.” Linda Scott (GAICD). “Australia’s public libraries have always provided essential community services and support, and this has been especially true in the current cost-of-living crisis." Jane Cowell.
