DTK Facility Services’ Post

In a special edition of this week's newsletter, LBC wants to shoutout new and unique stories from our material donors! Every year hundreds of organizations, individuals, partners and collaborators donate reusable items that LBC can then give back to our West End community - and this week is no different! We would like to send a shoutout to Atlanta Housing for donating a variety of antique cabinet sets that have been put to amazing use in our community. Through LBC's partnership in deconstructing facilities in East Lake Highrise, a senior living residence, we were able to salvage these materials which otherwise would have gone to landfills. For instance, two five-piece sets are in the process of being utilized by a client - who is a residential contractor in Atlanta's West End (30310) - to provide sustainable upgrades to affordable housing initiatives in West End neighborhoods. Without Atlanta Housing Authority's generosity and assistance, this would not have been possible. Together as a community we can make a difference and work in tandem for a common cause. #togetherwecan #sustainablereuse #reuse #workforgood #nonprofitwork #nonprofit

Statistics say a lot about the challenges of home affordability in the Midwest. “1 in 9 households in Wisconsin spend half or more of their income on housing,” reported Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity in their 2023 annual report. “There is a shortage of over 126,000 affordable rentals available for extremely low-income families in Wisconsin.” To help mitigate this crisis in the community they serve, local Malarkey Certified Residential Contractor, American Quality Homes, donated their time and labor for the installation of a new roof on a new home built by Habitat for Humanity. With assistance from Northeast Wisconsin Malarkey Sales Representative Maximilian Crookston, a complete system of roofing products was donated in the fall of 2023.

✨ WE NEED YOUR HELP! ✨ . Did you know that the EPA estimates that over 600 million tons of construction/demolition debris is thrown into landfills each year - that’s hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, slabs of stone, and more, that could have easily been diverted and reused. . At Stardust, it is our mission to provide affordable reclaimed, salvaged, or other gently used supplies for homes, businesses, and nonprofits around us. We are passionate about reuse and are proud to support our community. But we can’t do it without YOU! 💖🏠 . As a nonprofit, most of our inventory comes from material donations from homeowners like you. While these items no longer have a place in your homes, by donating them, you are helping to provide one-of-a-kind, reclaimed treasures for someone else who needs them. Your materials donations can (literally) help build our community and invest in making it stronger. . We believe that we can #StarveTheLandfill ♻️ but we need YOUR HELP. . YOU WILL make a difference in our community when you donate to Stardust. .

"We are in a housing crisis, and supporting HomeSpace is a way to be part of the solution." Our Communications Director Emily Campbell joined CTV Calgary last week to share how supporting leading non-profit affordable housing developers like HomeSpace through our #AdoptADoor campaign is a critical component of addressing the housing crisis. HomeSpace has faced a 60% increase in our maintenance costs in the past year. This means that we are having to allocate more funding into maintaining our existing affordable housing units instead of building more units that Calgary so desperately needs. Every dollar makes a huge impact by helping HomeSpace build and maintain affordable housing units for our neighbours. With just two weeks left of our Adopt-A-Door campaign, we hope that you'll consider donating today so that we can continue to do what we do best: provide innovative housing solutions for Calgary's most vulnerable.

With millions of dollars being cut from non-profits and public services in #SanFrancisco, this impactful quote by Leilani Farha reminds us of the true importance of housing as a right for all. San Francisco's Emergency Rental Assistance Program faces a significant 50% budget cut, and many more local organizations are being defunded. We cannot let our essential services be reduced without a fight. Join us in demanding change for the protection of San Francisco's people, and join our fight to increase & defend affordable housing for San Francisco's most vulnerable.

Solving the #housingcrisis is more than building new #affordablehousing. It also means supporting those who don’t have a home and those who are at risk of losing theirs. It means resources like landlord liaison programs, system navigation and encampment outreach services like those we provide through our Downtown Outreach Housing Resource Services office. Navigating the housing crisis takes all of us. Donate today. https://bit.ly/4ddH3n6 #NationalNonprofitDay

Funding can often be a hindrance to urban planning. Therefore, it's nice to have Bill Gates and Jeff Bezzo in Washington to make donations to local community efforts. The latest donation (from Jeff Bezzo)(not sure how much they have donated) is to the affordable housing crisis. As much as we need affordable housing, building and sustaining them requires capital. In partnership with religious centers (land) and non-profits, and developers... we can build more affordable housing.
