IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A PERMANENT AND LASTING SOLUTION TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AND HOMELESSNESS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS BROKEN AND NOT WORKING FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS Veteran Housing Corp would ask every TAXPAYER to demand and get answers from their elected and appointed government officials the below questions as they relate to any affordable, workforce, or supportive housing project in your community! 1. How much local, state, and federal funding, tax credits, or other government benefits or incentives did the project receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? Is the affordability period permanent and in perpetuity? 3. What guarantees exist have your local, state, and federal government officials obtained in writing that rents will not go up or that tenants will not be displaced or evicted after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder 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 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU Even the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU

Step 2: Create and Attract a Compelling Project The constraints to economic development across Wyoming are as unique as our communities, so collaboration with local leadership is crucial.

Each of these interim deputy administrators- none of whom were mandated by the charter revision- gets a 6 month severance payment, or $209,000 each, if they work 6-12 months in their temporary positions. No one in the public or private sector gets such lush benefits. My concern lies in the fiscal irresponsibility inherent in awarding lavish severance packages, amounting to a staggering $1.3 million, to temporary employees whose impact on city services is destined to be short-lived. Severance should be reserved for extraordinary situations, not handed out routinely. Six months severance after possibly 6 months of work is way out of bounds for both private and public sectors. Providing lush severance packages on the taxpayers' dime is a slap in the face to the hardworking people of Portland. It sends the wrong message: that public servants can expect cushy safety nets even when their tenure is temporary.   That money could be better spent addressing urgent needs like public safety and transportation, which are currently struggling to identify adequate funding.

Pre-COVID, the Effective Church Group was heavily involved in on-site church consultations across the nation. At one point, I spent almost 200 days a year on the road, working with churches across the U.S. to help them transition from stagnation to growth. The pandemic, however, changed all of that, leading to a shift in how consultations are conducted. Like many others, we’ve adapted to fewer on-site consultations, but our commitment to impactful, customized church growth strategies remains unwavering. Recently, I had a conversation with a pastor and church board about what a consultation with the Effective Church Group entails. One thing that sets us apart is that we don’t operate from a standard template during consultations. Instead, we utilize a refined data gathering instrument that we’ve honed over 30 years to ensure we collect all the necessary information for informed recommendations. 📊 But that’s just the beginning. Our approach involves spending several days with the church, its leadership, and the community. We delve deep into understanding the people, their vision, leadership styles, congregational culture, and the community’s dynamics. This immersive process allows us to identify and build effective bridges between the church and the community. 🌍🤝 During these days, we interview people, observe the congregation at work and play, and watch staff and leadership interactions. This comprehensive approach enables us to create a strategic plan tailored to helping the church move from where it is to maximizing its potential. 🌟 Trust is built through thorough understanding and personalized strategies, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide. If you’re looking to transform your church and maximize its impact, let’s start the journey together. 📅 Ready to take the next step? Contact us today to learn more about our consultation process. #effectivechurch #churchgrowth #pastors #church #churchconsultation #churchleadership #trustbuilding
